### 3/5 — Not intuitive at all

*2019-08-08*

Adding waypoints is a mystery. Seems to want to point to somewhere 2000 KM to the east. Very frustrating. Activating account email never arrives. Definately European mind set when developed

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2015-10-08*

Don't waste your money. I purchased this to use as a GPS, as this is one of the few apps that actually allows you to input latitude and longitude. However, it's useless because the location it pins can be up to 10 miles away from the actual point. Tried emailing customer service and got no response. Very disgruntled, to say the least. Sure, it's 5$ but it's just money thrown away at this point.

### 1/5 — No support

*2015-04-03, version 3.3.14*

Asked question twice. Never got answer.

### 1/5 — Mr

*2015-03-17, version 3.3.14*

Very disappointed does not work waste of money

### 1/5 — Not happy

*2014-09-25, version 3.3.14*

Maps are just copies of map pages and are unclear. Screen freezes up. Not worth it

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2014-07-17*

The app will not download offline maps on my IPad. I emailed the developer and received no reply so far. I only gave it one star so the review would submit.

### 1/5 — Fishing

*2014-05-05, version 3.3.9*

I got ripped off and would like a refund

### 1/5 — App solute crud

*2014-03-27, version 3.3.9*

Don't waste the time or money on this save up an get one of the more expensive apps it's worth it 
I wasted $6.49 on this

### 3/5 — Ok app maps and gps tracking work

*2014-02-02*

Basic style marine maps work and the down load off line function works ok, would be great if it could sync waypoints between devices, works well in New Zealand

### 3/5 — New to boating

*2014-01-06*

Good app and works for me

### 1/5 — You get what you pay for

*2013-08-25, version 3.1.5*

Doesn't work. Hardly a marine application. Hard to follow

### 1/5 — Mode hors connexion non fonctionnel

*2013-08-07*

J'ai pris cette appli pour pouvoir enregistrer mes cartes et les utiliser en mode hors connexion. La synchro carte est longue et il a fallu que je le fasse 3 fois avant qu'elle soit enregistrée sans que cela coupe en mettant une erreur.
Quand j'ai lancé la carte sur le bateau, impossible de l'avoir à l'affichage, seuls les waypoints apparaissent.

### 1/5 — Maps not there

*2013-07-16*

The NOAA maps and ocean maps aren't there. Don't get replied off, Apple should remove this app until its complete with what it claims is ther!

### 1/5 — Unhappy

*2013-07-07, version 3.0.0*

Could not get it to run on my iPad

Very bad app is taking money in the name of offline map but didn’t provide a good quality maps Even didn’t know speed is always in knots at sea not in kph.

### 1/5 — Keep away

*2021-06-13, version 6.3.18*

Very bad application, cannot even download a map properly

### 1/5 — Incomprehensible

*2019-05-06*

Not user friendly.  Maps load terribly.  Charts passages straight across major land masses. 

Only good if you are in a “land yacht”

### 1/5 — Terrible

Do not purchase Normally wouldn’t write a poor review but was denied a refund Way over priced and does not function well Save your money

### 1/5 — Mauvais

*2018-09-25*

Cette appli ne fonctionne pas, tout simplement.!

### 1/5 — Not happy

*2016-11-29, version 4.0.3*

Not happy with it I live in Australia Melbourne right next to western port bay
I go fishing a lot and been looking for a new Nav so I can use in the boat with my iPhone
This is not for Australia 
How do I get my $12.99 Australian

### 1/5 — Waste of money doesnt work

*2016-11-17, version 4.0.3*

Some of the maps that require you to pay for doesn't work what was the point

### 1/5 — Professional Captain gives this app zero stars!

*2016-08-01*

Save your money.  This app is not user friendly.  Good luck downloading the charts if you do spend money on this app.

Not very user friendly, unresponsive, no maps

### 1/5 — Not what I expected

*2015-11-04, version 3.3.21*

### 5/5 — Very Responsive to Customers

*2016-06-11*

They are working hard to fix iOS 9 problems after I sent a message regarding same. 

  I was told that they would have things fixed within 24 hours and guess what? They did! They are very responsive to customers.

### 5/5 — This is a very good hydrographic mapping app

*2013-08-16, version 3.0.2*

I have navionics aswell and both are great but I find myself using this app more u can switch maps referencing bottom structure on google earth layout then flipping back to NOAA hydrographic to see depths u can see the rock structure hit a waypoint then see where u are. Very user friendly.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2013-07-30, version 3.0.2*

Easy & awesome

### 5/5 — Unreal very happy

*2013-06-14, version 2.2.6*

Good stuff

### 5/5 — Opinia

*2013-05-28, version 2.2.6*

Super ale muli

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2013-03-22, version 2.0.1*

I couldn't get my chart plotter installed for 2 weeks and had to take the boat from Victoria bc to comox bc. The program worked perfectly and was very easy to use. Depths outcroppings reefs rocks and small islands all accurate. Even gas stations were easy to find on the trip. Best 7.00 spent.

### 5/5 — Works

*2013-01-05*

Was 3 feet off the dive boats gps coordinate

### 4/5 — An update to my prior review on this nav program.  Working now.

*2021-08-30*

So I suffered quite a long time after several updates via the App Store appeared to disable the program.  

Anyway, a number of emails back and forth to the developers (Marco) got things working again. (iPhone 12pro).   The trick was to completely uninstall the app (not simply remove the shortcut) and reload it from scratch.   Success.  Thanks to the team for getting my nav back running again.  

P.S.   maps seem to download very quickly, which is great.

**Developer response:** Dear Customer, please can you describe the issue found to email contact@fishpoints.net, Thanks. Best Regards

### 4/5 — App

*2016-09-06*

So far so good!
I own 2 boats and this app is like having a gps navigation system for $8?
Kinda a no brainier if my systems go down then at least I can still navigate. 
The ocean map shows all the banks and high spots. 
So far so good and cheap in my 20 years of offshore fishing opinion.

### 4/5 — Bon logiciel

*2016-01-01*

Ce programme répond à mes attentes de pêcheurs amateur
