Nul

Pourquoi avec changer l’ancienne application qui fonctionnait très bien.

Celle-ci est inutilisable sur un téléphone.

Pouvez-Vous nous remette l’ancienne SVP ?

Horrible

Incredibly lousy:
- when searching for a device not found it hangs, no way to kill it
- no touch screen remote control it says “not supported”: really, iPhone nor supported?
- no way to connect with the phone and the axiom connected to the boat’s WiFi

Given what Raymarine charges for Axiom devices this is infuriating

Unbrauchbar und unzuverlässig

Trotz aktueller Software auf allen beteiligten Geräten (iPhone 15 Pro Max) und Axiom Plus) gelingt das Fernbedienen nur sporadisch. Die App erkennt trotz vorhandener WLAN-Verbindung zum Plotter dieses Gerät nur sporadisch. Als Fernbedienung des angeschlossenen Autopilots daher völlig ungeeignet. Hier sollte unbedingt nachgebessert werden. So wie sich die App derzeit präsentiert, ist sie kein Aushängeschild für Raymarine-Produkte.

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.

Doesn‘t connect with 4.9.357

Since I updated the plotters to 4.9.357 the app can not connect anymore.

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!

App geht anders

Ja leider sind die Apps von Raymarine sehr sehr schlecht

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!

Works!

You must connect your display WiFi to your phone via WiFi sharing on the Raymarine device. Took a while to figure this out.

Useless control not possible

The whole point is to remote control the Axiom. But you cannot, you have to switch to the control view but the you cannot see the Axiom screen thus you cannot see what you do. If i have to sit next to the MFC, there is no point of remote control. Basically all you can do is view it. Fix this Raymarine. Others are way ahead of you. Also PC/Mac remote control is needed. Every boater has a laptop on board which is much better to use compared to tablets, especially for planing etc. In this state the app is useless.

Unbrauchbar

Wieso stellt man so einen Schrott in den App Store und lässt es seit Jahren ohne merkliche Entwicklung drin? Ich verstehe so ein Gebaren nicht. Mit der App kann man ein Axiom fernsteuern, aber man muss das Axiom sehen, weil die Steuerung in der App den ganzen Bildschirm einnimmt. Aber wenn ich das Axiom eh vor mir habe, wozu sollte ich es dann mit der App bedienen???? Schwachsinn…

Unable to use

I am unable to use this Ray Remote app at all! I have successfully installed and connected to my Axiom 12 MFD, but the display on my iphone is not interactive at all!

And when I’m connected to the Axiom MFD via WiFi, it blocks cellular data and makes my phone unusable!

Raymarine= qualité douteuse !! Mauvais visualisateur

Ne pas acheter de produits Raymarine est peut être le meilleur conseil que je peux donner. Leur qualité est de moins en moins bonne et les produits ne sont pas fiables. Mon voilier est 100% équipé des derniers produits de cette firme. En gros, traceurs qui ne supporte pas la pluie (même très faible), pilote automatique pas fiable (le P70s ou le EV1 ) pas très robuste.
Sans compter les logiciels d’emprise à distance des MFD.. totalement INUTILE … plus ils font des mises à jour, pire il est …

Why build something so bad

How the ergonomics if this app ever got through quality control is amazing. To be unable to see what you are doing with the control panel on the screen you were viewing is a design stuff-up of mega proportions. Did someone really get paid to build this?

Can see and control at the same time? Really?!

Did anyone actually test this? Totally worthless.
Also, why can we not connect over Wifi when all devices are on the same network? Connecting to the MFD’s Wifi has no network connectivity. On a connected yacht, it’d be nice to remain connected.

Useless and can’t get rid of it

Set up this app and my MFD to connect by WiFi, but the app continues to say it cannot find my MFD. Raymarine technician says I did everything correctly, so puzzled why it wasn’t hooking up. But as an earlier reviewer remarked, once the app cannot find the MFD, there is no way to get it to stop looking. The only choice is to REPEAT the search. I tried to stop it by shutting my iPhone down, but when I restarted the phone the app was still searching. Deleting the app from my homepage did nothing, and deleting it completely did nothing; it is still “in the cloud” and when it comes back it is still in search mode. Presumably this would prevent me from trying to hook up by Bluetooth, which one must do in order to use the app while sailing and away from your WiFi. After reading earlier reviews, it appears the app is useless anyway, since you cannot both see the chart and the controls simultaneously (I can’t vouch for this since I can’t get that far.) Save yourself the grief of trying to get it to work.

Worthless

There is no way to close this app once it’s opened, you have to reboot your phone. Perhaps it has never been updated to work with a newer iPhone that doesn’t have a home button.

Does not seem to work

The app does not work with Axiom
Just gives RayView screen
