User Reviews

Users praise NV Charts for strong chart content and easy route planning, including AIS maps and broad coverage. Recurrent negatives center on licensing and yearly renewal costs, unreliable offline maps, stability issues after updates, inconsistent map quality and UI, and GPS/routing accuracy concerns. A few cite good support when problems occur. Overall, the app is valued for charts and planning but hampered by licensing, offline functionality, stability, and map/UI inconsistencies.

Pros

Accurate and useful charts with broad US and international coverage
Easy-to-use route planning and navigation
Responsive customer support when issues arise
AIS-enabled raster maps provide situational awareness

Cons

Licensing and ongoing payments: paid content often requires yearly renewal and licenses expire
Offline maps/content not reliable: offline maps may not work and are tied to annual renewals
Stability issues: crashes and update-related instability, with some features breaking after updates
Map quality/UI inconsistencies: maps can be of uneven quality, with nonintuitive UI and features like anchor alarms
GPS/routing accuracy and coverage concerns: GPS location reliability and routing accuracy can be problematic, with limited global coverage

poor ap

Terrible maps and app. Impossible to get one uniform look on the maps with out of focus parts mixed with small vector units, mostly harbours... app itself not very well thought through. I regret spending my money on this useless conception.
