User reviews

Utterly useless, unless you only want viewing or a remote control

I had to try it to believe how bad it really was. It does work fine as a viewer, so the exact screen that’s on the mfd will be shown. But as mentioned in other reviews, you are unable to edit or control anything whatsoever because once you attempt to do so a “control screen” will pop-up that fills the full screen, with a mouse to control and click with the cursor, but it fills the entire screen so you can’t see what you are doing. So you could potentially also use it as a remote to control the cursor on the plotter while looking at the actual plotter rather than your phone screen. But it definitely does not turn your phone or tablet into sort of a secondary mfd, which I think is what most people are expecting from this app, and something that should be technically possible with the right control interface.

Terrible app

As others have noted, it is ridiculous not to be able to view the screen while interacting with it. This could be a very useful app to mirror and remote control an Axiom MFD, but as is it is a complete fail. Raymarine, please fix and support this app. It seriously undermines your brand!

No Good

This App does not work with Axiom Pro 2. Only mirrors the screen on the MFD.

Takes Over iPhone !!

Unbelievably bad! Won’t connect with 2024 axiom with all software updates.Since it is unable to connect, it keeps asking to retry. You can’t even stop the app, Had to shut down and restart iPhone just to regain control of iPhone.

This app is one of the reasons I won’t purchase Raymarine equipment anymore

This app is a waste of time, it doesn’t work smoothly and it won’t connect through a Starlink router. Meaning that if my iPad is connected to the chart-plotter the iPad won’t have any internet connectivity. Please fix this problem Raymarine! Your lack of commitment to making this existing product line work is exactly why I won’t be purchasing the new product line!
