Ratings and reviews

Finally a decent usable free app for boat navigation! There are so many others out there that claim to be free but their functionality is extremely limited or not even usable. Years ago I paid for one that that was supposed to be free for lifetime and it wasn't true. Now it costs over $100 a year. This one gives me very similar functionality with no cost and some enhancements that the other one did not even have. Plus their premium subscription is more than half of other competitors!

worse than useless. it gives you the impression that it might work, but doesn't. clicking on objects sometimes never responds, sometimes comes up a long time later. frequently completely locks up, needs to be restarted. i paid the upgrade, thinking the issue was the data needed to be preloaded, by downloading maps. (paid only) if anything, performance got worse. also got stuck where it wouldn't show the current route, but also wouldn't let me create new because i had a current route.

Lifesaver! GPS function saved us! First time out on the boat, no cell service, no data, no roaming. I had read it won't work without data. Not all true. We were over 10 miles from where we launched, I made a wrong turn then lost! My only hope was this app! It showed our location as we navigated, I could see our destination on the map. Very happy boater! Thanks Argo!
