### 2/5 — Working

*2022-03-09*

Is this working yet

### 1/5 — Poor Wi-Fi hook up

*2020-07-20*

Very unreliable to get the app to hook up to the unit. Once hooked up, it’s great.

Please Raymarine - get off your butts and figure out why it doesn’t always hook up and lets us know how to get it to work the first time every time.

### 1/5 — Illisible

*2019-09-04*

A moins que vous naviguiez uniquement de nuit, complètement illisible sur iPhone

### 1/5 — Funktioniert nur sporadisch

*2019-06-23*

Verbindungsaufbau ist eine Glückssache, die versprochenen Funktionen lassen sich nicht aufrufen, Integrieren in Navionics geht gar nicht. Hab nun einen tollen Geber mit Sender (dragonfly 5) und kann nix mit anfangen.

### 1/5 — Katastrophe

*2019-05-04*

Die App ist einfach nur schlecht!
Mal startet sie überhaupt nicht, mal stützt die ab. Hatte mir den wi-Fish extra gekauft um alles auf dem iPad zu haben und auch die Navionics App damit zu nutzen! Auch das funktioniert komplett nicht.

So ist das nicht nutzbar !!!

### 2/5 — Interesting product

*2019-02-19*

Very intermittent. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t. I expected more from Raymarine....

### 1/5 — I think they have stopped supporting this app and device

*2019-01-10*

I have tried to contact Raymarine by phone, email, and user forum and gotten no response. The app has constant connection problems. Half the features they show on the app don’t show up on my screen. The app will not save my settings. It also crashes immediately when you turn on the simulation mode (this is apparently needed to successfully run the sonar with the Navionics app).

### 1/5 — Crashes with simulation mode

*2018-10-16*

Switching to simulation mode crashes application and after restart establishing connection is looooong wait

### 1/5 — Buggy software

*2018-06-22*

Software has a lot of issues with a Wi-fish unit and any tested version of IOS software and devices. 1.) Simulation mode or any depth offset front the default “0” makes the app crash. 2.) You can view a waypoint on Camera Augmented View only if it’s dropped at current location. Not available on waypoints made far off the current location. 3.) If you get far from a dropped waypoint around 2000 yards or so, it’s availability to be viewed on Camera Augmented View will not be available anymore. 4.) Any waypoint seen on Augmented View is in the bottom of the water and sometimes even close to a 100 feet below the water, instead of sea-level.

### 2/5 — Impossible to use

*2018-06-20*

Very low connection when I started to use it then now I can't use it at all, it doesn't connect... And not working with my Navionics+ app to be able to show both map and sonar . Waiting for an update or something as this is a great idea

### 1/5 — Unstable and unusable

*2017-12-19*

This app is completely unstable, it takes up to 20 minutes to connect to its device and then crashes when you try to change settings or enter the simulator mode. Do not buy the wi-fish fish finder and sonar as it does not work. $300 down the toilet.

### 1/5 — À mettre à jour

*2017-03-12*

Application avec beaucoup de bugs. Qui plante très souvent. Connection très lente avec le sondeur. Une mise à jour est attendu rapidement. Pour ensuite redonner un avis plus positif

### 1/5 — Molto da migliorare

*2017-02-08, version 04.49*

La app si sincronizza col dragonfly ma non si possono regolare le impostazioni dalla app...eppure ci sono ma non funzionano, manca la possibilità simulatore e in più quando vuoi marcare un waypoint sullo schermo non si vede più l'eco...aggiornate

### 1/5 — Problem

*2022-05-13*

Please bring back older version as this one dose not have (local network) option which is on my iPhone 7 app but not on iPhone 11 This is the reason why it won’t connect to the raymarine wi-fish

### 1/5 — Updated for iOS 14.2 but still doesn’t work on my iPhone 11

*2021-04-03*

Update didn’t fix anything, still won’t show screen.

### 1/5 — iOS 14.4

*2021-02-28*

Inutilisable avec iOS 14.4 !
Une mise à jour est-elle prévue ?? Que je puisse utiliser mon sondeur.... Merci !

### 1/5 — The new version has problems

*2020-11-19*

It has downview only.
It does not have other views available.
It is worse than the previous one.

### 1/5 — App not working

*2020-11-19*

App is not working on iSO 14 please sort it out!

### 1/5 — New update on Apple iPhone

*2020-11-13*

It’s no longer works on the iPhone please fix as soon as possible

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2020-11-12*

Doesn’t work at all, fortunately navionics know how to maintain an app and it works with that. Would avoid raymarine in the future based on this half baked attempt.

### 1/5 — Not Combatable

*2020-11-08*

Please guys update your software so it will work with the IOS 14.2
We can not use WI-FISH anymore with our devices

### 1/5 — apple update

*2020-11-08*

Same issue. Will no longer connect after ios14 update

### 1/5 — Does not work with 14.0.1

*2020-10-09*

Will not connect after new iOS update app and equipment now useless

### 5/5 — Funziona

*2022-05-14, version 04.52*

Funziona abbastanza bene

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2018-07-13*

Great app

### 5/5 — Having issues with ...

*2017-01-25*

Raymarine Wi-Fish is a great concept and I am excited to get it working on my kayak (Hobie PA14) here in Florida.  I am experiencing a few issues that need to be worked out regarding the time it takes to acquire a connection.  It takes me over 15 min each time I connect over wifi to either my iPad Pro, iPad mini, or iPhone.  All have the latest IOS software and there reports to be no firmware updates available for the Wi-Fish.  Once a connection is made, the sonar works as it should until I try to put the unit in Simulation mode.  This crashes the application on all three of my IOS devices.  I have obtained an application to evaluate my wifi connection but have been unable to resolve the issue on my own and have reached out to customer support in the Raymarine forums but have not been granted access to post yet.  I will gladly update this rating after the issue is resolved.  If it can not be resolved, I will be returning the unit as defective and unusable.
Please help

Update ... customer service is very responsive so I have updated my review to five stars.  Chuck from Raymarine is helping me resolve my issues and it appears I may have an off case and isolated issue.  I will update this post any lessons learned.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2016-09-16*

I love using this app in conjunction with the Navionics+ HD app on my tablet. Using a relatively inexpensive fish finder, it makes the display huge and bright on my 11" tablet. Plus I can take it anywhere and at any angle in the boat with me. There doesn't appear to be much lag in the picture either. The rewind feature isn't used that much on my end.

### 5/5 — A fish finder on your phone

*2016-04-16*

Works great. You now get a fish finder on your phone or your fishing partners phone. No need to have a sonar in the bow.  This will do that for you.

### 5/5 — Great Free App to add much bigger screen on tablet/ipad!!!

*2015-07-15*

This app works great, you can even swipe to see older sonar/history data and take snapshots of your favorite honey hole or submerged structure!

I use with Dragonfly 5 Pro, IPad and Navionics + maps and the apps all work very well together.

### 4/5 — We need bigger numerals!

*2016-06-29*

The app is pretty good but it would be really nice to have the option of making the depth reading larger to make it more legible in bright sunlight.

### 3/5 — New App Update required

*2020-10-11*

This is no longer compatible with the new apple ios 14. Worked perfectly before. Please fix this issue.

### 3/5 — Works

*2018-05-13*

Offer numbers would be a nice option and demo mode just crashes my app. WiFish doesn’t work with Navionics on Apple products but does still work with this app. Would be nice to be able to import charts too! Lots of room for improvement

### 3/5 — Has connection problems

*2017-03-28*

It takes too long to connect. Some times it does not connect at all.
There is another issue while using wi fish with Navionics +. Some times wi fish app works well, but sonar data not shown in Navionics app. 
Great idea, but connectivity problems destroy it
