Poor refresh and resolution
Bought an Axiom9 plus for the fly bridge and using this app on a nice big 12.9 inch iPad for the Saloon helm station.Very disappointed. Hoped it would work like the crystal clear Navionics app on the iPad. Screen size is smaller. Resolution is terrible but worst of all finger pan and zoom is barely useable slow and fiddly. For Raymarine to maintain their reputation, this app needs some serious improvements. Will now be ditching my Raymarine AIS for one which WiFi broadcasts AIS for Navionics on the iPad directly. Great shame.

Years overdue an update!
I’m with everyone else here. A very old app massively due an update! Poor resolution, poor refresh. Come on Raymarine sort it out you are losing ground to your competitors. Next time I will be going BandG.
Poorly written app with horrible Ray Marine Tech support
I've been using this app for five months now very poorly written, app it loses connectivity via Wi-Fi constantly. Only way to get it to work again is re-join the axiom Wi-Fi from both iPad and iPhone.
I contacted Ray Marine took me several hours to actually speak to a human being was told by supposedly "lead technician" that "New app was going to be released in the next couple of weeks" that fixes stability issues and control. This was back in January still no app update. Notice the dates on the reviews many many years old.
Why no data privacy policy Ray Marine?
As you can see I am an unhappy New 2021 customer of $5000 worth of RayMarine equipment including Axiom+ EV 100 auto pilot and accessories.
I'm guessing this is why Ray Marine is considered the worst marine equipment manufacturer in the industry today!

Works well
The app seems to work well for me. Great tool
Perfect Portable Pedestal
Works very well on eS series MFD.
I’m hoping that soon it will work on Element S MFD.
The more eyes on the chart the better !

Almost brilliant
This would have got 5 stars no question if one, seemingly obvious, feature was enabled.
Why is it that I cannot sit in my cabin when its raining and affect my course? if I try (while autopilot is engaged) I get an error - so clearly this is as designed and not an oversight.
Raymarine, any thoughts on your design ideas here? I'd love to give you 5 stars!

E7 and Control
Raymarine Control CAN be a wonderful thing when IT decides to work. The when part is a crap shoot. I'm on a 20+ day cruise. It worked great the first 2 days now wont. The fail message says it sees my devise but will not display. I scrubbed the app and reloaded. I rebooted the e7 and the ipad. Several times. Maybe by day 19 IT will decide to work again. This is not the first time going through this. Btw this is my third e7 unit in about 3 years . Great product testing. Won't see this posted!!

Disappointing
Although this app performs reasonably well, the resolution on an iPad4 is so poor it's like stepping back 20 years in plotter displays. Another minor point is the screen refresh which displays garbage when panning the chart. It is also slow to refresh.
Raymarine needs to try much harder if they are to impress.

Good, but not great
This works, but gets 3 out of 5 stars overall.
It looses one star for being slow to display info. It is a couple of seconds behind what is actually being shown on the display. It gets frustrating to touch a control button and then wait a couple of seconds to see a response.
It looses a second star for being slow and still costing $50.
Overall, really happy with my e7 and the iPad integration. The free RayView is great. However, I was expecting better performance for $50 on the RayControl. Lower the price or, better, re-architect the app to reduce lag/increase performance.

RayControl
Works seamlessly with my iPad Classic. Controls every function (except autopilot) of my new Raymarine C95 at the nav station . C95 talks to the E120W in the cockpit so I can now add waypoints on the iPad and they instantly appear on both the C95 and E120. Very impressive app.
Works great
To the previous reviewer, you have to upgrade your software version on your e7. You will need to download the new version to your computer and then put it on a blank microSD to put into your chartplotter. After you do that it works great! See the Raymarine site for upgrade instructions. Great interface - I can even hear the chartplotter beep when I control it with the IPad.

Works as advertised
This is much like the RayView app, but adds the ability to control the chart plotter as if you are sitting in front of it.
The only drawback is the resolution on the iPad is a little low, much like with the RayView app.
Great app none the less. Cheaper than buying a repeater!
