## Review summary

Reviewers praise Boat International for high-quality, data-driven yacht content and polished media, seen as industry-leading and valuable to brokers and serious buyers. However, the app’s reliability is repeatedly criticized: frequent crashes, especially after iOS updates; downloaded issues disappearing or requiring re-purchase; slow downloads and shelf-update problems; and limited customer support. Overall, content quality is strong and admired, but stability and data-retention issues significantly undermine the user experience.

### Pros

- High-quality, detailed, data-driven yacht content.
- Polished, elegant media and photography that enhances listings and the yachting lifestyle.
- Valuable for professionals (yacht brokers) and discriminating buyers as a promotional/readership tool.
- The publication is widely regarded as producing some of the best content in the industry.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and overall instability, especially after iOS updates.
- Downloaded/purchased issues disappearing or not recoverable after updates (purchases erased).
- Slow downloads, long load times, and persistent shelf-update issues that hinder access.
- Limited customer support (e.g., non-working support email) and troubleshooting options.
