Not working

Dodgy

4 days trial pushed by RYA Day skipper online and then 99 quid charge. I should have cancelled it but feels expensive and scammy.
Ddrohara

Scam!

Misunderstanding over the trial period but the app itself worked quite well alongside the raymarine onboard. One suggestion would be an option to purchase for 1-2 weeks for charter clients - the cost put me off for the time I sail.
BBristilian

Crashed on a crossing.

Loved this app for a year. Then it crashed during a crossing from the gulf of Maine. Cannot log back in and customer support does not exist. It took them 3 days to get back and can’t fix the issue. I was using a new iPad Pro with the m5. Frustrating to spend so much money on an app that fails at the most needed time. Thankfully I downloaded Aquamaps as a back up and that’s worked flawlessly. Very frustrated.
