  • Update Ruined A Great App

    By Ronin3478
    I have used this for a few years and loved it. I was able to use the sonar overlay to find great fishing spots. With the last update they said they combined the sonar with relief shading . Now I am unable to see spots I marked before and can’t find those unique spots. I opened a ticket with support with the hope of going back to the old version, they said it was impossible. Usually updates improve systems this was the total opposite. I wish I did not renew the subscription, basically I have a useless app now. Hope they fix this in an update.

    I paid $30 for the app using the previous version of this app and now they not only do I not get the app I paid for they want me to pay a subscription. This company is a scam. The data they provide is ok for what I needed but they obviously don’t care about if they steal from you. They literally changed apps just so they could screw people over. Never use again.
  • Latest version locks up newest iPhone

    I don't know what happened in the latest release, but it often locks up my whole phone where I can't even change applications. Not great for a boating navigation app.
  • Greedy decisions

    Wow, just like all the other reviews lately, I am terribly disappointed that you decided to charge us an extra $10 for charts that none of us will ever use AND take away the awesome depth contours as well. I’m shopping for a new app now and NO, I won’t be renewing my subscription or updating my app. Nobody cares about your canned reply of consolidation of charts blah, blah, blah. No, you found a way to screw your customers out of more money. That’s all it is.

    So first and foremost, this app is my go to for planning our fishing trips as well as locating possible new spots. This has been so accurate with the newest iPhone’s gps that we used it as a primary when the sportfish we were on lost all electronics. We came home with a boat load of fish! But the most recent update is TERRIBLE and reduced the quality to crap for relief shading. Used to see the bottom just fine and seemed worth paying for. When my subscription is up I’m going to another charting system unless they bring it back. There’s areas that were not high detailed and it made up for that with the areas that were. Now no areas are detailed other than ones that you can literally zoom in on google earth and see. And actually see better than what this app is giving you. I’ve used y’all for 5 years+. Please don’t dump on the long term guys by making the shading terrible. If Garmin forced your department to decrease the visibility on the bottom put that in the update notes so people at least have a choice going forward. There isn’t a single noticeable difference in the “new and better” shading style. I don’t know if they see it as competition and want all people to move to the chart plotter cards but it’s terrible now. If you haven’t updated your app yet and see this don’t update! Please bring back the old shading I will put y’all at five stars.
  • Useless without SonarChart Shading

    By Capt Luke CAT5
    How come this recent update took away SonarChart Shading? As a captain I rely on the SonarChart Shading layer for the safety of me and my passengers. After paying $25 year after year you now take SonarChart Shading away from us? CAK1971 below has the same complaint. App is useless for me without SonarChart Shading.
  • Not Bad . . . But . . .

    I’m used to the Foreflight app for aviation, and was hoping for a similar experience in a boating app. The Navionics app is good, but I would really like to see a live weather overlay. This would be so helpful when trying to navigate around storms.
  • An Essential Boating Tool

    By Skippermark
    This app is an essential tool in my boating gear, and it gives me peace of mind whether I’m on the ocean or an inland lake. The price is reasonable and far less than a high resolution standalone unit would cost. At the current price, it would take years to spend more than what a standalone unit costs. The daily updates are reassuring to know that I have the most current data, and support is very helpful if i ever have a questions.
  • New shading is poor quality

    3
    By CAK1971
    I just updated my app and now the relief shading is poor quality compared to the previous sonarchart shading overlay. I was able to see detailed structure before, now all I see is different colors with no bottom structure detail at all. Please bring back the previous sonarchart shading overlay option.
