Bloated battery drainer

The app function was good. My phone was draining in 4 hours. My phone charging speed dropped in half. I checked battery management and Navionics Boating was a power monster. Thankfully I was still in free 7 days trial.

Fixed

Latest version fixes the heavy battery drain I had with an Iphone 17 pro that could not run the app for a long period of time.

Over priced

Gives you the information you need but not worth $90 a year, every year. Not even close. I’d expect everytime I open the app it shows my location for that cost. But it doesn’t. Always have to pinch and zoom to find your location

The app is downloaded and the map has been purchased, but when I open the app, it shows a 'Start 7-day free trial' page. When I select a map, it says 'You already have a subscription,' but then it redirects me back to the free trial page again. I can't use the app, please help.

I lost my map

Hello. I switched phones; although I transferred all my data to my new iPhone, the maps I had previously purchased and installed did not load into the app. It is disappointing to learn that this issue stems from your company policies. When I try to install them, you ask me to pay again. After all, I purchased this product from you, yet you are directing me to buy it again. Please resolve this issue and enable the installation of the maps I previously purchased.

Cobro indebido

Buenos días.
Después de probar la app 2 días y cancelar la suscripción, han cobrado esta mañana los 59,99€. Hagan el favor de abonar el importe y evitar estas prácticas abusivas.

Uygulama başlatılırken aboneliğimi görmüyor

Uygulamaya her girdiğimde tekrar tekrar satın alma sayfasına yönlendirip duruyor beni. Oysa ki daha yeni yıllık abonelik aldım ama aboneliğimi asla görmüyor.

App is draining my Iphone 17 Pro

App is using about 1% of battery every minute. Not usable for long runs.
Phone is locking and turning screen off even when the option to stay on is selected.

All about the money

From $30.00 to $80.00 was bad enough, subscription is up in 10 days but can’t use it now. Will not load anything!

Duda

Solo se pueden bajar imágenes satelitales de los lugares costeros. Hay muchos lugares navegables en el interior de Argentina los cuales no puedo bajar dichas imágenes.

Doesn’t work

I’ve had the subscription renewed for half a year and every time I open it it keeps trying to force me to subscribe and I keep doing so then I recognized that I already am, kicks me out and starts trying to get me to subscribe. It’s the third year I have had this issue! Save your money.

Thank you for reporting on your experience. If you receive a message asking to purchase, it may be because the subscription/trial is linked to a different Garmin/Navionics account. For further assistance, please email us at navionics.support@garmin.com and send us a screenshot of the message you receive and all email addresses you may have used to create your account. We’ll be happy to help you directly.

Finger weg

Wer gerade mit den Segeln anfängt, sollte sich gleich eine moderne Seekarten-App holen. Diese hier hat keine Zukunft.

Bis heute muss man raten, auf welcher Tiefe man sich gerade bewegt, weil das User Interface nur sehr sparsam Zahlen bereitstellt – obwohl viel Platz wäre, mehr Zahlen zu nennen. Also laufe ich beispielsweise zwischen 2 m (gefährlich) und 4 m – kann den Unterschied aber nicht sehen, solange ich nicht während der Fahrt umständlich punktuell Details einhole. Bei schwachem Internet-Signal startet die App minutenlang überhaupt nicht. Man muss erst in den Flugmodus gehen. Und so weiter. Und das Schlimmste: manchmal löscht die App die geladenen Karten bei einem (automatischen) Update der App. Das merkst du erst, wenn du gerade aus dem Hafen rausfährst und das WLAN verlierst. Hier wird es dann nicht nur ungemütlich, sondern gefährlich.

Mein Fazit: diese App war mal State of the Art, heute ist sie der Versuch von Garmin, sie möglichst schnell loszuwerden, um mehr Hardware zu verkaufen. Garmin ist eine maximal unsympathische Firma.

Meh

App is cool I just wish it had a monthly option for payments. 79.99 a year is cool but I’d rather have a monthly pay option. . . Or even 3 months at a time.
