User Reviews

Overall, the app shows strong value propositions but currently suffers from stability and feature completeness issues that hinder everyday use. Users praise planning aids, AIS integration, and intuitive design, yet multiple reviews report reliability and performance problems, AIS tracking inconsistencies, and routing feature gaps.
Pros
  • Clear maps and smart routing with no-wake zones, depth info, and access to past routes
  • AIS tracks displayed on the chart to inform routing
  • Where to, Captain? search is helpful and ETAs are spot on
  • Intuitive interface and a data-driven approach that fills a gap in traditional navigation products
  • Leverages local boater knowledge to identify safer, more efficient routes
Cons
  • Frequent reliability issues: the app fails to plot routes or even load; sign-up/onboarding blocks access
  • Slow performance and unresponsive UI after updates
  • AIS tracks/routing behavior inconsistent: tracks do not follow or disappear after updates
  • Routing feature gaps: manual route limit (15 waypoints) and export produces multiple routes; home port starting point not supported

This app is awesome for boaters! It makes planning super easy with clear maps and smart routes. I really like that it shows no-wake zones, depth info, and even past routes so you don’t have to guess. The “Where to, Captain?” search is fun and helpful. ETAs are spot on, and I feel way more confident on the water. Totally recommend it for anyone who loves boating!

It does a good job of showing AIS tracks on the chart. However it fails to actually follow those AIS tracks when creating a route between two points. Instead it just follows the shortest route seemingly, which might not be the safest. Also, unfortunately it lacks the ability to create a manual route with more than15 waypoints and whe you do create a manual route and try to export it, the app exports the route not as a single route but as multiple routes.
