B&G: Companion App for Sailors Reviews
Bugs
The app has some serious flaws, importing a GPX file from within the app seems impossible and sharing a GPX from Apple Files crashes the app. Sometimes when restarting after a crash it will ask to import the GPX but waypoint names are then obliterated. Connecting remote view and control to the paired plotter seems to require scanning a QR code from the plotter screen every time, which defeats the purpose of remote view as user is already at the plotter screen by then. It’s not on par with the quality that the Zeus3 provides.
Crashes
Works normally quite ok, but crashes randomly . At start up - black screen instead of map and app crashes (on my iPhone)
Issue, and feedback form is broken as well.
I need to keep north fixed up. When navigating (and recording track) I can deselect the “allow chart rotation” checkbox in the chart options.
However, this is not persistent. For example when I select a point on the chart (mostly by accident) and then dismiss that point, the checkbox is ticked again and the chart immediately rotates back to heading up. A very annoying bug that makes it risky to use while underway.
Also, your feedback form “should what is this issue about” does not cover this usability issue.
Another issue is that when I start the app, an error comes up “error configuring sd card” - no idea, iPhones don’t have them.
Then, at random points when using, it sometimes zooms completely in or completely out. Some sort of reset of the main navigation page.
Also, the feedback form in the app is also broken so this is my only option.
It’s got a lot of usability bugs like that. The underlying charts are fine though, and it does work to a degree.
Happy with B&G
Works very nice with app and plotter. Would be nice to have online course and tutorials.
Mooie kaarten, maar app werkt niet!
In basis is dit een prachtige app. Echter handmatig een route invoeren kan niet meer. Je kunt wel een afstand meten met waypoints, maar je kunt er geen route van maken. Autorouting werkt slecht. Routes gaan gewoon over land en door verboden vaarwater. Regelmatig verschijnen er programmastrings in een invoerveld. Kortom, ik hoop op een snelle update, zodat de app doet wat het beloofd.
Need some improvements
The app didn’t bring me the same data’s navionics did.Auto routing doesn’t work. Distance measuring is difficult and without the heading so please try to upgrade it soon!
