User Reviews

Waterway Guide offers valuable boating details and anchorages, making it a useful cruising tool with good map visuals. However, many users report frequent app crashes, unable to open maps, poor search/filter features, and frustrating usability issues like mandatory registration and absent in-app help. While the content is appreciated, technical problems significantly impact the user experience, but recent updates have improved stability for some.

Pros

Provides great detailed information that makes boating safer
Includes helpful anchorages and marinas information
The maps look great for navigation purposes
Useful as a resource for cruising and trip planning
Works well once the stability issues are resolved

Cons

App frequently crashes or hangs, requiring uninstallation and reinstallation
Search and filtering functionality is poor or non-existent, making it hard to find specific locations
Maps often fail to load, showing blank or white screens
Requires registration before use, which some users find inconvenient
Lacks proper help or FAQ support inside the app

Recent reviews

No filter - hard to find Anchorage, meaningless info overload!!! Search is terrible. If you don't have GPS on (save battery) you're always back in Africa. Okay, but if you switch to another app, upon return your back in Africa, not where you left off. ....VERY FRUSTRATING.

Was great, used it all the time. Suddenly earlier this week it wouldn't open. Uninstalled and reinstalled and it looks like a new version but won't open anything (marinas, anchorages, my purchased books in the library). Was a 5 now a 0 because it no longer works. Please fix!
