User reviews

Keep looking for an app that works.

This app is simply not working. I've tried on more than one occasion, over a fast WiFi connection, to get charts downloaded but it's just not happening.

I had high hopes, but this app let me down.

Response from developer

Please email support@skycharts.net and we'll sort it out

Horrible

Cannot be trusted period it just doesn’t work. I’ve been trying to download a chart in Miami for 2 days!!!

Blurry

Charts are horribly pixilated when zoomed in even when fully downloaded. If this is a mistake please advise how to fix this.

Download?

Even after subscribing the maps don’t seem to download.

Response from developer

No need to subscribe during the 30 day trial period, no hidden features are unlocked by the purchase. Seems like there is some other problem, please contact support@skycharts.net and we will figure it out.

Original Skycharts Pro Purchasers Getting Ripped Off

Skycharts Pro owners were promised regular updates free of charge, now it’s a paid subscription.

Do not support this shady business, their business practices have shafted those that supported them in their infancy.

Response from developer

Hi avguserguy. I'm sorry for the misunderstanding, but the Pro version always clearly stated it included updates for a year, then it would start charging you for updates. The Pro version was removed from sale in December 2016 when the XC version was released. We are always interested in your feedback, please let us know at support@skycharts.net
