Review summary

Users find RayRemote app outdated and incompatible with newer Android devices, causing frequent connection problems and poor remote control functionality, especially on touch screen chart plotters. Although it allows basic screen viewing and waypoint advancement, it suffers from lag, limited controls, and a lack of updates since 2017. While some appreciate its initial ease of use and ability to interact with navigation data, many express disappointment with its inadequate features and call for significant improvements.

2021-09-19	Je*****	Seems nobody is liking this app but I installed it to use on my Axiom. Ok its a little hooky but works fine for advancing my AP to next WP. Software Freemantle, phone S-21 as of 8-31 app no longer working, time for an update. Had updated to Guadalupe when it stopped working

2021-09-08	To*****	If I disconnect my phone from the local WiFi and connect to the chart plotter WiFi (Bluetooth seems not to be supported, even though I've managed to pair the devices), then I'm allowed to see the screen of my Raymarine chart plotter, and I am allowed to press "remote control" and then the screen changes to show me the control buttons of my chart plotter. I really had higher expectations (i.e. allowing me to control the autopilot easily or showing different information on the mobile)

2021-04-03	An*****	It's hard to imagine a software company setting out to make a product so unambitious in its scope and functionality, and still being unable to hit its lowly goals. Epic, epic fail as usual Raymarine.

2020-12-09	Jo*****	Totally unusable on the Axiom, and it was clearly NOT designed for a touch screen mfd.. You have no right to advertise this as remote control software, as it can only be used when standing at the device to look at the screen. At least split screen the control so you can see what you're doing. You need to do a professional job and transfer touch locations from phone app to mfd. While you're trying to have your software catch up to the hardware potential, let the phone bluetooth to the mfc, leaving the wifi for seamless internet hotspot sharing so everything works as long as the phone has 4G service. This terrible effort must be really embarrassing to the product manager and design team. I wish I'd gone with Garmin

2020-09-17	ed*****	Thanks for providing the ray remote. We really are enjoying the app. To watch and interact with weather, navigation, radar, fish finder, video, audio via tv below decks during weather offshore, for example, is a huge assistance. The app only took a minut to load onto a prepaid android phone just for the boat. Watch remote chart on tv. We're having fun with this. Wondering about turning over the operating system of phone to another remote... Gotta run a nmea cable to ice maker next. Fun!!!

2020-09-08	Ja*****	Absolutely horrible and ridiculous. I spent $3000 on a raymarine setup and their apps only support devices that are 10 years old. Seriously... The andoid devices is support?? ANDROID NEXUS! MY TOUCH 3G! What the &@&$-$-???? It's 2020 and this technology company doesn't have a working app - even though their sales reps claim you can control everything from your phone. Garbage. The app doesn't work.

2020-07-02	Da*****	Raymarine? Seriously? What a pathetic, garbage app. I was so looking forward to connecting my Pixel to my Axiom. Can't even get it to connect. What a disappointment.

2020-05-17	Ch*****	Works as it suppose to. There is a bit of lag (1-2 secs) between the plotter and the Android app. If that wasn't there it would get 5 stars
