User reviews

Pathetic

This app could get better but it just gets worse. Constant locking up, slow to update, won’t scroll, doesn’t save custom
Detail settings so that you constantly have to change them.

Waste of money and time

App is terrible, crashes constantly. When it does work, between updates you can’t upload gpx Files to it, it responds very slow and ui workflow is just bad. They literally could get a chat bot to write a better app.

Near shore wrecks SC

Near shore wrecks do not have avionics detail at all

Update in app not working…

Please fix the update in the iPhone app. It shows a spinner and locks up the screen with no way to fix or complete…
