Ratings and reviews

I can appreciate that they is more info, but the home screen seem⁶s reall; y busy, the "vessels near me" used to be much quicker, and it's difficult to find it on the map if there's a lot of traffic. there used to be a nice clean list of vessels arranged by distance. I like how the vessel info is formatted now, but overall the app doesn't seem as user friendly.

I've been using this app for years and was disappointed to find that what used to be included in the free version now is subscription. So I signed up for the subscription to especially get ship info. The ship info is in meters and the weather is in Celsius. I would prefer feet and Fahrenheit but can't find a way to switch in the Units Preferences section. There's nothing in help and no way to contact the developer. If I can't figure out how to change these settings I'll probably cancel.

I don't know who your designers are but they screwed up a perfectly good app. can't find any of my ships. I used to look for. everything on the maps is nothing but an anchor. there isn't even a showing of a ship on there. and every time I go to search for one it's a joke to try to find it. what in the world were you all thinking of when you did this. there's an old saying " If it isn't broken, don't fix it"!! You need to fire your Tech people! And bring back the old. what bugs did they fix? 😞
