    I have B&G instruments on my boat and I’m quite happy with them but the app is terrible. I really tried to like it since it has world wide coverage but trying to download maps for offline use is the worst experience. I also have the Navionics app and the downloads work like a charm. On B&G I have selected 3 areas I wanted to have as offline maps and they just won’t download to my iPad. I get to 10 to 20 percent before the download stops. All this is on a super fast Fios connection. Given these results, it’s utterly unusable while on passage trying to update maps on a cell connection or public wifi. This is a problem since I first downloaded the app 2 years ago. I tried deinstalling and reinstalling with no change. Really disappointing and even support could not help me when I contacted them a year ago.

    I really wanted this to work. Problems: - doesn’t synch from Zeus S to iPhone. After waiting 2 hrs to reach tech support, I was told that it will synch if both phone and Zeus are logged into a separate Wi-Fi system. Ug. - measure distance feature would be great but it is wildly inaccurate. It says the distance from San Francisco to Seattle is 3800 feet. -incredibly, the Create Route feature doesn’t let you creat a route from your waypoints. Instead you just pick start and destination points and it creates a computer generated route. Useless. - the weather forecast feature is sooo slow and doesn’t indicate which weather model or source data is used. Since you evidently have to be on a Wi-Fi network to use it, you’ have much better options on the internet.

    I bought all brand new B&G instruments for my sailboat, including Zeus S which does not allow mirroring or any app function at all. It's connected but does nothing. It freezes and disconnects the rest of the time. It kind of half-worked with my old Vulcan but not Zeus S.

    This is a terrible app for B&G. It seems like more thought needed to go into the app. The navigation function isn’t helpful when compared to other apps out there. The connectivity with my Zeus3 isn’t helpful. To me it seems B&G created this app so B&G could say they have an app. Way better apps out there.

    I usually don’t write reviews BUT… I have installed a full suite of Triton instruments with a Vulcan 9 MFD. There are absolutely NO problems with the instruments The problems is customer support. If you have a question, you better work it out yourself because B and G won’t respond. I have wanted on the phone for up to 50 minutes listening to the recording that says ‘you are third inline’ more times than I care to remember. I have emailed questions and the very next day you get - wait for it- a case number. I bought the B and G because they are sailing instruments as opposed to Garmin that has fishing apps, etc on their MFD. Knowing what I know now, I think I would have bought Garmin instead JUST for the better customer service

    Having an issue between the app and my chart plotter. Nothing will synchronize. Called tech support for B&G, waited 4 1/2 hrs on hold. Finally got thru to someone who said they think it’s an app problem and to submit a help ticket thru the app. The app won’t submit the ticket, and there is no number to call. Spent $$20k plus on all B&again products for my sailboat and can’t get any help when needed.

    I really try to like this app, but it’s just a hassle. When it works, it needs an internet connection to transfer from Navionics to B&G. There is NO way possible to import a GPX file other than importing over Wi-Fi. Isn’t this APP suppose to make our lives easier?! The connection to my Zeus 3s drops off continuously while my phone is sitting right next to it. It has a 50% chance of transferring a route to my plotter. For a company that promotes “High End”, “Racing” type performance, I would expect a lot more consistency from this app. Not to mention “Ease of Use”.
