Review summary

RipCharts is praised for its detailed marine charts, useful fishing data, excellent support, and offline capabilities, making it a valuable tool for serious offshore anglers. Despite this, users commonly report high and unclear pricing, recent app stability problems such as crashes and loading failures, delays in satellite data updates, and occasional issues with map region mismatches. Overall, it is a powerful app with some significant usability and transparency concerns.

Cons

App stability issues including random closures, failure to open, and missing screens reported in recent months.
Delayed satellite updates and missing features like depth readout after recent updates.
