The price tag held me back from using this app for some time, but it is definitely worth it. Not only that it offers more functionalities than any other app I know, it is the quick response of the customer service that impressed a lot. Not only useful for execution of maneuvers, but especially beneficial for briefings and debriefings with the bridge team. ### 5/5 — Great! *2024-09-07, version 5.4.14* Great app for pilot! Add Vietnamese to the language section, ### 5/5 — Informative intuitive and accurate *2024-09-01, version 5.4.14* Title says it all. An excellent software tool for interactive ship handling and pilotage. ### 5/5 — Simplemente Excelente ayuda *2024-07-24, version 5.4.14* Después de 30 años realizando maniobras a “ojo” tengo que decir que esta aplicación suministra una información muy valiosa que a simple el ojo humano solo detecta mucho tiempo después o en cuando son grandes magnitudes. Las maniobras son más precisas y SEGURAS. FELICITACIONES A LOS DESARROLLADORES !!!! ### 5/5 — Tecnonolgía al servicio del Piloto *2024-01-24, version 5.4.10* Es una herramienta de trabajo excelente, de una precisión asombrosa y muy completa en ayudas para la ejecución de la labor del Piloto Práctico. FELICITACIONES ### 5/5 — Very high value app. *2023-06-29, version 5.4.4* I have been using this app for 4 months now and I am very impressed. I am a GBR pilot and use it as an aid during pilotage through the Great Barrier Reef coastal pilotage. It is far superior to other nav apps I have tried and it has the ability to load s63 which makes it acceptable as far as our local regs concerning ECS goes.The developers quick response to feedback and suggestions is also very impressive. It is a little slow on my ipad2 , but that could be because of the s63's and me being too cheap to get a new iPad..! EDIT: I’m not sure why seaiq is no longer answering emails on both their info and sales address??? We’re just trying to get our enterprise subscription paid ??? ### 5/5 — Excellent piloting software *2023-06-24* SEAiq is excellent piloting software. It allows us at MPI incredible flexibility to connect to a variety of AIS and GPS equipment and to navigate on nearly any chart format in the world. Also allows import of DXF files so you can pilot on top of a CAD file, or use the Venture Farther plugin and navigate on top of google earth or MSST photos. This is great for testing proposed docks, berths and basins. Could not be happier with Mark and his support team. First class all the way! ### 5/5 — SEAiq Pilot - Capt. Arsell *2023-03-23, version 5.4.2* I have tried many other apps however nothing is comparable to the SEAiq Pilot including the out of hours technical support. The app is on a continuous improvemsent and better than the previous releases. I have to specifically mention the support from the people behind this application are just truly amazing and the app is worth the subscription. ### 5/5 — Nav *2023-03-03, version 5.4.1* Top professional, full information, works stressles ### 5/5 — Excelente app *2022-12-26, version 5.3.1* excelente programa para navega ### 5/5 — Capt. Jason / Oil-Chem Tanker *2022-06-17, version 5.2.12* Been using this program for more than 10 years and has proven its worth in every occassion. ### 5/5 — Best Nav app around *2021-10-18, version 5.1.5* Though I‘m not a fan of electronic apps and devices when sailing, but this app has changed my mind. ### 5/5 — Captain Ivo Vuskovic *2021-10-15, version 5.1.5* Very friendly to work with software and that is one of very important atributes for us practical navigators .Keep it up.Thanks ,Captain Ivo Vuskovic ### 5/5 — SeaIQ for iPhone. *2021-08-19* Easy to use and tracks well. May consider premium package when I place it on a larger iPad as a real chart plotter. Will be my main navigation aid when sailing in Alaska. ### 5/5 — The best *2021-05-11, version 5.1.0* I'm using it every day sailing in the Aegean Sea and especially during berthing operation. I strongly recommend it for professional use. ### 5/5 — Good app *2021-04-05, version 5.0.16* it's useful ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Grafik unzureichend *2025-03-11, version 5.4.16* Grafik schlecht ### 1/5 — Avec IOS 14 Problème d’acquisition de la position *2020-10-10, version 5.0.12* L’application est parfaite, dommage qu’elle n’arrive plus à gérer l’acquisition de la position avec un AIS pilot plug Wifi. Problème connu du dévelopeur, mais non réglé à ce jour. Pour le prix une mise à jour rapide s’impose! ### 1/5 — Chartworld *2018-09-27, version 4.9.1* Уже полгода пишу, что нет возможности загрузить карты с chartworld, но, похоже, что продано то продано и никому никакого дела... ### 2/5 — Maps *2022-05-17, version 5.2.12* I can’t ide it,how do i register an account and download maps? ### 2/5 — Hard to see own ship AIS to board *2022-01-22, version 5.1.8* Hard to see AIS of own ship in order to board if not connected to NMEAS. It appears then dissappeared frequently. But most vsl you don’t want to board keep on appearing. ### 3/5 — Cada día más costosa. Y cada vez más funciones deshabilitadas...que deben pagarse aparte. *2019-02-21, version 4.9.9* El programa es bueno. Pero la avaricia de sus desarrolladores lo vuelve cada día menos recomendable. ### 4/5 — Souplesse *2019-09-10* Souplesse, simplicité, rapidité en navigation de rivière. Un défaut: le chargement des cartes est un peu fastidieux. ### 5/5 — Pilot *2026-06-29* It works extremely well ### 5/5 — Useful *2026-04-21* Top app ### 5/5 — The best PPU system *2025-12-26* This is the best and most user friendly PPU software I’ve seen. Very comprehensive and no glitches. Highly recommended. Support is excellent. I’ve used this for many years and also tested many others. ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — SEAiq Pilot *2025-11-27, version 5.5.0* A very good product that is still receiving attention to incorporate new and relevant features. Excellent value for money. Even has some better features than ECDIS. ### 5/5 — Good App For Pilotage *2025-11-19, version 5.5.0* Verry Good For Pilotage in channel and port / Berthing Mode ### 5/5 — Muito confiável *2025-11-15* Bastante completo nos requisitos de navegação. E a função de adicionar “bacalhau” para atualizar dados de profundidade é extremamente útil ### 5/5 — Almost 10yrs use as Harbor Pilot. *2025-09-14* What can I say, it works great and the enterprise subscription has all the configuration I need as a harbor pilot. Works great with my Navicom Dynamics PPU and even my older Pilotstech stuff. ### 5/5 — Thụ *2025-06-22, version 5.4.17* Ghjjj ### 5/5 — Consistently dependable *2025-03-04* Having used and tested most pilot navigation software on the market since the inclusion of ENCs, I can say that SEAiq has always worked without a glitch. During its roll out, the developer was able to adapt to the various demands of the pilots implementing it in their practice. Another feature that is hard to match is that this software will work with virtually any hardware configuration on the market today. Intuitive software. ### 5/5 — Good,simple without question the best available *2024-11-13, version 5.4.15* SEAiq is simply the best tool on the market and an los Price Investment in vessels safety. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
