  • Still terrible

    Subscribed again after taking a year off, hoping things might have improved. They haven’t. If you have a Garmin chart plotter and subscribe to Garmin’s charts for it, Active Captain is a much better option. Otherwise there are better and much less expensive options available (TZ iBoat)
  • Corporate greed ruins everything

    Paid for this app years ago and once Garmin got ahold of it they’ve ruined it. That’s why their ratings are so low. They’ve slowly taken away features and made it useless just to make you pay their yearly subscription.
  • Can't download maps

    I loved this app till Garmin took it over. Si ce then I can't download maps. It keeps telling me to subscribe to download, then when I try to, it tells me I'm already subscribed. I've tried everything. Delete the app. Repurchase the app. New account. New password. Still the same problem. Tried support several times. Waiting, waiting, waiting then you hung up on me. Very difficult to contact support or even the chat option. Only a few hours for us around the world. Please improve this support. I've purchased other apps to try and solve this but I am so used to this one and it has all my photos on it, I prefer to keep using it.
  • Great for my skiff in coastal creeks

    I did the trial periods on all the main boating navigation apps and finally settled on this one and paid for the one year subscription. The detailed contours of the coastal creeks near me are by far the best. I can confidently cruise around without running aground. Phone is on a suction cup mount with a battery charger, stays on for hours without issue. Tracks, auto routes, shows tides, wind, weather. Great app. Don’t understand the bad reviews, it’s better than the other apps for me. Includes coastal and inland all in one.
  • Garmin messed this up

    Have used this applicator years before Garmin took it over. All my old charts disappeared . Tried to renew and they took my money but can’t access the renewal. They hot my money but program still says it is expired. Will look elsewhere for chart plotter program. Very disappointed.
  • Subscription scam

    I have been using this app for navigation for many years and paid for some regions and downloaded them. Now they are telling me I have to pay a subscription fee every year for the regions that I paid for originally. This is scam!
  • Not happy

    By Dave Con 2
    Just not happy with this app. My location constantly gets flipped around. Especially when reversing route. When I chart a new course sometimes it makes a straight line from point a to point b over land. Very frustrating to use. Will not be renewing if it doesn't get better.
  • Do not subscribe

    I’ve been a long time user but the cost of the app is insane now and not worth it for how poor the quality the app is. Take the other reviews seriously. Everything mentioned is 100% true.
  • Chart a course to a different app

    Believe the negative reviews. It’s just a garbage app now, focused solely on generating revenue. Please take your money elsewhere and let this app and the company behind it die.
  • Heats up iPhone.

    App is great, but uses a lot of resources on my iPhone 12 Pro Max that it heats up pretty good and dims the screen. This doesn’t help while out on the boat.
