User Reviews

OpenCPN is a powerful and affordable chart plotting app appreciated for its features and device integration. However, users frequently complain about the difficult chart loading process on Android, poor customer support, and interface complexity. Stability issues and problems with file management on Android devices further detract from the experience. While technically strong, the app requires technical knowledge, which can frustrate average users.

Affordable compared to other chart plotter apps.
Customizable interface appreciated by users.
Ability to export GPX files and compatibility with external tools.

Cons

Difficult to obtain and load charts on Android; process is complex and not user-friendly.
Poor or no customer support; support forum inactive and unresponsive developer.
App stability issues including crashes and bugs, especially after updates.
Navigation and interface not intuitive; steep learning curve for non-technical users.
Limited or problematic functionality with Android file management, e.g., inability to easily delete chart files without rooting.

Recent reviews

This is a good app that I have been using for while. It is generally stable. Support is a bit tricky, the support forum doesn't appear to have been updated for years. I was unsuccessful registering and getting activation emails. The Android version needs the ability to delete chart files. You can't do this through the Android file browser anymore unless your device is rooted. I downloaded unneeded MBtiles and can't delete them. They are large. Only option appears to be uninstalling.
