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!

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!

This app could be fantastic but at least on Android I've had a very bad experience with it. Performance got really bad while on the water, and the point that shows my location and direction was almost never accurate, showing me crab walking as though the compass stopped working. Using the track feature at about 5 mph drew lines through islands that I was going around. After we got back to the dock, unloaded the boat and went back for the phone, the location was still catching up.
