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.

Comparison
I’m in the process of comparing the different nav apps and so far savvy Abby is the easiest one for me
Fantastic app
This is great. We are not very experienced and Savvy Navvy is so easy to use. It’s like Googlemaps for boats. Helps with directions anchor mooring reviews and photos and timings. Would definitely recommend it.
It’s good but has issues
I’m sure I’ve written a review of Savvy-Navvy before and praising its features and ease of use. However, now after some extensive use when off grid I’ve found it to be unreliable despite downloading and ensuring the pack is up to date. It will refuse to plot a route.
The anchor alarm whilst very useful also is not so reliable. I can repeatedly crash the app by disarming the anchor alarm.
Frustrating, particularly as I’ve also invested in the company too through its recent share offering.

Hi Rob, I'm really sorry to hear your frustrations. Can you reach out directly on david@savvy-navvy.com please and I will look into this for you. David
Useless unless you pay
$123 a year is stupid. If you want to charge that much you need to get on salt strings level of detail and value. Yes they have a free version but like the other reviews said the app is useless unless they have your card info. There are no contour lines at all for free and you can’t even get a satellite view for free might as well just use Google Maps. And there are no pricing details posted anywhere in the App Store so you don’t know what you are paying until you download and are forced to make a decision before even getting to look at what you are spending money on. Complete garbage

Thanks for taking a look at the app. We have full NOAA bathymetry in the free version of the app around the US coast and many inland bodies of water. And when we add new rivers and lakes, they are also available in the free app. Where were you looking? We have full prices detailed in app, on our website and in the App Store where you can compare which plan has which features. I'm sorry you couldn't find that and we will look at how to improve signposting.
