TIDE HEIGHTS GRAPH & TIDAL STREAMS
View tidal heights and tidal current or streams on our tide chart. Scroll through the tidal graph to see changes in tidal highs and lows over time.

MARINE WEATHER FORECASTS
Use the weather forecast graph to scroll through days and times to see the effect on weather conditions, wind strength and direction. Use the wind icon to see a visual overlay of wind barbs!

ACTIVE TRACKING

I used to have the "Elite" subscription (just cancelled it). The app is very slow and clunky. The routing sometimes spins forever for no reason. I've been trying to download offline charts for hours and it never completes. I tried contacting support: no response. I'm giving it 2 stars, because if app works, it's very nice. I hoped that the problems I saw those 2 years ago when I started subscription will be removed. It's still the same poor UX. A real pity that quality is such a low priority.

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.

Hi Mike - thanks for taking the time to leave feedback. Most of our users are day sailors, hence putting night view on higher subscription plans. You also get off-line charts and weather in both Explore and Elite and so don't have to worry about losing cell coverage. David

I installed, setup a profile, and was then advised I would automatically be a paid subscriber if I didn't cancel within two weeks. It takes an affirmative action on my part to not get charged. I immediately uninstalled. Would have at least given it a try if it was a free trial that became inoperative at the end, requiring an affirmative act to become a subscriber. Let me know if this changes and I might consider giving it a shot. Until then, I'm staying with my Navionics subscription.
