Didn’t work correctly
I was trying to use this app in Lake Tahoe for fishing. I needed to find an underwater mountain that was at 60’ deep. I positioned myself just above where the app said it would be and I was in 400’ of water. I confirmed this using another boats sonar. It also said I was in 3’ of water when near the shore but it was closer to 20’. The contours were at best a rough estimate.
I tried to cancel my subscription but I think it was a day late so now I have this useless app for a year and spent $50 on nothing.
*EDIT*
Garmin developer response makes no sense to me. Lake Tahoe at best fluctuates seasonally by a few feet not 340 feet that this app was off by.

App wont load or let me sign in
Updated version requires annual fees
I used the app for years and loved it, however it now requires annual subscription and lost all my downloaded maps. Not worth it when my fishfinders all have charts, it was just nice to have the maps on, when looking up spots when not on the water. Lost customer.
Money Thieving
I hate this app so much. I purchased charts in good faith but because I don’t need to purchase this year they lock out basic features that don’t need subscriptions to try to force users into expensive subscriptions. I can’t even create two waypoints as a route and navigate between them. Greed does not make you better than the competition. No wonder this app is slipping down the rankings in favour of newer nav apps.

App bom porém com ressalvas.
O aplicativo é muito bom e ajuda em navegações de águas interiores, único defeito é ser somente em Inglês.
Downgrade functionality to only 2 devices is outrageous
This review is long overdue, but the functionality downgrade a while ago to support only 2 devices is extremely disappointing to say the least, and outrageous to be more accurate. I have several dedicated marine devices and use(d) Navionics exclusively. Many reasons, including now what I have invested in it - routes, waypoints, tracks, linked photos, etc. Because of the very friendly user interface and very rapid response time of the iPad it is my primary navigation device, with my chartplotter running simultaneously as a check and balance.
I have two iPads and 3 iPhones and use multiple of these at any given time depending on what exactly I am doing. Previously I could do this with no worry. Now depending on what I am doing I have to “log out” on a device to be able to use the app on another. Worse, the device names are not meaningful or changeable so basically just randomly disable a device hoping it wasn’t the prime one you were making use of. I have three Navionics subscriptions already, (two plotters and the app) and have had for many many years. I think I’ve “paid my dues”. It is an insult to have my loyalty rewarded with this restriction.
I ask this practice be reversed immediately, or at least grandfathered for LONG TIME loyal subscribers.

Dishonest billing
I have paid for a subscription for several years. It auto-renews on August 01. On July 10, I opened the app, and it wouldn't work unless I picked a subscription. Why is Garmin double-dipping? This is disingenuous. I am now forced to pay again.
Inland lakes
I stay off the ocean but this app has been fantastic for me on unfamiliar lakes. Has never let me down even with no cell service. Just download the maps before you head out
Frustrating!
Used it every year, subscribed - but can’t log in. Stuck in the loop of the requests to subscribe again. Useless.
Credit card
If your app is any good then why make Ilya cancel. Everyone knows how difficult it is to cancel something. Most companies are betting on the fact that you won’t remember. That’s why you never get an email stating it will be charged before hand. If I use the app and like it then I would pay for it. If I use the app and don’t like it then I have to jump through 10 hoops and be on the phone for 3 hours trying to cancel and ultimately have to dispute with my cc company. Are you that desperate for 49.00?

iOS update and now it crashes
I use this to navigate the Great Lakes and love it, but now with a new iOS update the app just crashes at launch. Please fix asap.
Unreliable
Ceases to update position while underway. Need to refresh it manually continuously. And even then it will show different headings of my boat and different positions on the water. But on the plus side, got to meet a really cool Towboat US employee who pulled us off the shoal Garmin said we weren’t on.

I loved it before
I used to have this app and I loved it. It used to be like $16 a month which I was fine paying for.
I didn’t have my boat for a couple years because my motor broke.
And now it’s like $77 a year. I’m in Canada. I only need this app for like three months out of the year. I cannot justify that money for three months anyways it’s too bad because I love this app. It was great. I think you guys should start offering monthly again because they’re gonna lose people like me that’s just gonna find something else.
To bad 😞

Nice app with a couple major flaws.
I’m a paying customer and enjoy many nice features like routing, anchorage reviews, and easy map store. However, I always carry another navigation app (SeaIQ) due to two major issues: (1) the Navionics app randomly requires internet access or it refuses to operate which is unacceptable as many people boat offshore or in remote locations without internet access, and (2) you can only install on two devices at once; I sail with multiple crew and routinely need navigation abilities on 4-6 devices.

It’s getting worse
With every update, this app becomes almost impossible to use you can’t download or update charts about half the time. Customer support is prompt, but ultimately unhelpful.
!!! Whisky, Tango, Foxtrot !!!
$49 ??? A year ??? No, Nope, Never !!!
High handed, poor support
Product has been OK, but they have effectively disabled it on my iPhone even though I have a paid subscription through the App Store. And they are uncontactable.
No desktop route planning
I have used this app periodically over the years. My number one complaint is that we can no longer do route planning on a desktop anymore. This is way easier than on a tablet or phone. Why was this changed? I don’t get it!
Will not purchase again
I have been using this for fishing and exploring new areas. Not accurate on the depth. Do not rely this around reefs or rocks maps are not even close
Good app with a confusing re-start
Initial setup was confusing. The app got stuck in a “Choose your coverage” loop despite my Apple subscription being active. The issue was resolved after recovering and signing into my original Garmin/iCloud account. I believe the app could better handle multiple Garmin accounts or provide a clearer explanation instead of leaving users stuck. Email support was responsive and helpful. Once resolved, the app worked as expected.
