User reviews

iCloud Syncing

Overall great tool. Would be great if you could sync the Sight Archive to the cloud so that sights entered on iPhone could be accessed from iPad or vice versa.

Best in class

As a professional US navy navigator I've used this app daily for at least 7 years. First on a TI89 calculator, then on iPhones starting with a 4s when that was new. Now on a 7 Plus.
Makes my work easier and would be lost without it. The U/I may not be as polished as an app from Apple but it certainly does the job.
Have never had a single crash or malfunction. Paid once for the app years ago and have benefited from regular updates.
It is the only Nav app I recommend to other officers and cadets.

WORTHLESS

It constantly closes itself, wiping out all readings. When I reopen the app, everything is back to zero. All entered shots gone. My DR position gone. My course gone. My speed gone. I go through the whole process again, make it plot, and BOOM, back to my home screen, and it’s all gone again. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. For some ridiculous reason, I kept at it and it finally plotted my position on the fifth attempt, for only for a minute, then BOOM, all gone. Tried again, and it wouldn’t plot. Absolutely worthless! I’ll be pursuing a refund.

Many Glitches Poor Support

The problem here is that when you run into a software glitch, GMN will not only blow you off, but will absolutely refuse to even admit the most obvious and easily fixable problems. It very much seems that the software writer is tired of maintaining the product and is unwilling to address any new or old problems.

As you can see, the one star bar is rapidly catching up with the five star bar and will very soon pass it by.

If you can tolerate the small problems, the program is still fun. However don't even dream of staking your safety on this tool. Bring your sight reduction tables with you.
