User Reviews

I downloaded and played around with it and the app is very buggy. It freezes often and sometimes the app doesn’t respond when you tap on different things. I paid the fee for the 1 year subscription to unlock all of the features (NOAA chart access being the main thing) but there’s no simple way to download and install the charts. Overall, this app is overly complicated and buggy for iPad use. iNavX will continue to be my primary backup in the event my wheelhouse electronics go out because it’s much more reliable. I am using the iPad Pro 11 inch with the M5 chip in case the devs care to fix their app.
