### 1/5 — Useless add-on snuck in

*2026-08-11*

Bass Pro sales guy had this added option on my rig and I didn’t see it. Thought, oh well, it will be nice to have.  

Screw this app. It crashes constantly and is a distraction on the water. 

Poor product Mercury.

### 1/5 — Vesselview downgrade

*2026-08-11*

Why does the app take almost a minute to load? This is on the latest iPhone pro model. Further why are there less features than the vesselview application?

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work correctly

*2026-08-09*

App is always giving problems and getting stuck

### 2/5 — Needs improvement

*2026-08-04*

This app could be a great companion to the Vessel View module. I tried it out upon receiving notification that the Vessel View app itself is being deprecated, and this Mercury app lacks a lot of the gauge customization features that the VV app offers. The ability to add multiple custom gauge pages is gone, and I tried multiple times to upload my VVM data and the app kept crashing so I gave up. Hopefully improvements are coming.

### 2/5 — So much potential

*2026-08-04*

I had VesselView for years,  it would boot up an work way faster than mercury marine.  When it does work, it’s nice to have. I wish there was a way to customize a gauge panel similar to apps we use on cars/obdii ports.  Please put a little effort into the app and it will be great.

### 5/5 — Reviews are misleading

*2026-06-01*

Ignore all of the cry baby reviews.  Once I downloaded this app, as it is the newer app than Vessel View(never worked), I was very happy because it does exactly what it is supposed to do.

Thanks Mercury!

### 1/5 — Slow app

*2026-05-28*

The other app loads faster and has more features.  This app is severely lacking and slow and doesn’t show correct fuel level. It only shows by fuel consumed and won’t let you click on the level sensors.  What’s the point of having a digital app to only monitor the RPM and MPH. So much potential this could be, but totally wasted.

### 5/5 — Works fine

*2026-05-22*

Idk what people are talking about it works fine and it’s cool you can read faults on your phone since it cost a lot of time and money to take it to get codes read

### 1/5 — 3.0 MPI expensive volt meter.

*2026-05-12*

I’ve installed this onto a 2011 3.0 MPI and it does virtually nothing. Tells me hours on the engine, revs, engine temp and volts. That’s all. No code reading or alerts, just everything my dash already says except volts. Hopefully this can be updated because for a mercruiser 3.0 MPI it’s not worth it at all. The dealer saw it today and found the same result, it literally has a weather app no better than any other, charts that do what???? And a compass no better than an iPhone already has. Lots of mercury advertising. God for that, nothing else. Create an update please so this does everything as advertised. For my engine it’s a massive rip off.

### 2/5 — Good idea, but VVM is better

*2026-04-12*

I’ve been using VesselView Mobile (VVM) for a few years and love it. I’d like to use this new app, but it doesn’t rotate to landscape view and it will only display engine data for one engine at a time. I like the side-by-side display of VVM, but this app doesn’t have it. If these two things could be fixed, it would be a great app.
