Not worth a subscription and wish I did not get Simrad on our boat
For months I click settings and it just spins trying to load. I delete the app and reinstall and it works for a week and then the same. Nothing ever saves in the settings when it works. I go back in and any changes I have made go back to the defaults. Multiple times I have contacted Simrad and never hear from anyone. If you have an app it should get better and if you are charging a subscription you should provide service for your customers.

Crashes
The app would be great but only works a a hand full of times most of time it crashes before it loads. Wether on wifi or cellular
Maps are ok app sucks
Was fishing off the west coast of Vancouver Island NO CELL SERVICE OR DATA. I have a simrad chart plotter and electronics / radar on my boat but still pay for the app as a back up and to easily search/navigate areas. The app logged me out randomly and couldn’t log back in until I had cell service. I find this to be a really poor experience and will probably just cancel my subscription because of it.

Extremely unstable and syncing is very unreliable.
The Simrad app has a lot of potential and some genuinely useful features, but unfortunately the overall experience is extremely unstable.
The biggest problem is syncing with my Simrad chartplotter. Getting routes, waypoints and other data to sync between the app and the boat has been frustratingly unreliable and at times seems nearly impossible.
The app also frequently gets stuck with a loading spinner that never finishes. I have experienced this simply opening Settings or changing certain preferences, and the problem can persist even after closing and reopening the app. I have also experienced frequent crashes and ultimately had to delete and reinstall the app just to get it working properly again.
This is especially disappointing because the charting and integration with Simrad hardware should make this a very useful companion app. Instead, I find myself hesitant to change settings because I don’t know whether the app will become stuck again.
For an app intended to complement expensive marine navigation equipment, reliability and synchronization should be fundamental. I hope Simrad/Navico focuses on stability, reliable cloud syncing, and seamless communication with its chartplotters. The ecosystem could be excellent if these basic reliability issues were fixed.

Glitchy
When you open the app, it closes on its own after a few seconds seconds
