Best by far

If you can stomach the cost this is by far the best out there atm.

Seriously over priced

This app looked like it had potential until the cost came in - for those of us who had already purchase charts on iSailor, it was like a slap in the face being told we’d have to pay again and double the price!

But now that isailor has also become a paid service and charging hundreds a year also - guess both apps will have a lot less customers now. Especially considering neither are actually approved. Shame you had something great and enjoyable/affordable for most, but greed got involved again..
