## Review summary

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
