Ratings and reviews

Meh... It's the best app I found but I resent the huge price increase to change screen color for night mode. That's kind of a "screw you" to their customers. Data is fair at best. And of course you have to use cell service so you can end up on the rocks real quick if not paying attention. Nothing can be done about that but it is very limiting.

Stopped tracking position. The app shows my speed and direction but the location on screen does not update. The new psuedo 3D mode adds zero value. The UI is not intuitive and the app sets waypoints along the shoreline. I need to save locations, not routes. Many long-term local lakefront businesses are not in the database. On the plus side, when earlier versions worked, it could route me around the Lake of the Ozarks without manually setting waypoints.

I want to like this app more than I do, however, it's little things that prevent me from doing so. First off is GPS tracking. Most of the time, it doesn't know where I am. Permissions are enabled, and I've dug through app settings, but this is primarily a planning app on my phone. I look at a sister app it works with to find anchorages, sail with an iPhone themed app that actually tracks where I am (with a horrible UI), and check weather with two other iterations of apps. It's so close!
