User Reviews

Users praise i-Boating as a free, feature-rich marine mapping app with depth data and easy navigation. However, multiple reviews cite depth labeling gaps, inconsistent depth readings, unreliable GPS/location, crashes, and licensing frustrations (re-purchasing maps, price concerns, and slow support). Some regions lack depth shading or docks. Overall, strong value for free users, but reliability and licensing issues hinder trust for paid upgrades.

Pros

Free app with extensive lake maps and depth data.
Depth details and shading enhance fishing and navigation.
Detailed mapping with easy-to-navigate interface.
Useful underway with lots of options and features.
Lite version provides solid value and functionality.

Cons

Depth data is inconsistent or incomplete, with unlabeled depths and ice-fishing readings that don’t match reality.
GPS/location accuracy and reliability are poor, with the app locating you inaccurately on the water.
Purchasing/licensing issues: repurchasing maps on new devices, high price, and slow/unresponsive support.
Frequent crashes or missing lakes/maps that prevent data loading.
Some regions lack depth shading/contours and other features, leading to uneven data quality.

Recent reviews

This allows us to safely navigate the St. Croix River safely and shows all of the favorite fishing spots.

Bought in 2020 had to offload app to do update and never worked after that .Contacted developer several times through email and on Facebook and got nowhere. It was nice when it worked when I got it in the winter but never was able to use on water Hope everyone else has better luck. I know it’s been a long time but it still irks me enough to write this now
