The latest update seems to have forgotten my account settings. After entering email address, it hangs up on a screen indicating it needs location data but there is no app setting to enable this. Finally, I deleted and reinstalled the app and it starts up with a camera request to see the QR code on the AIS. For now, I have no way to monitor my boat.
After multiple emails, finally got it to work. Now with an update it’s all gone again and the app locks up. Whoever is doing your app programming, it’s not good and seems very untested.
Updated to 1.7.8, now get error determining location.
Since Garmin took over it no longer works. I could REALY use this right now too which is a big reason I purchased the cortex. Their support is very good but this app just goes to white screen when logging in.
Now when booting I only get a blank white screen. It’s a shame to pay so much for a unit that can do remote monitoring just to find the feature disabled!
This is one of those rare products that is just fun to use. Easy install, no problems or surprises, and it does more than than advertised. Easy interface with our iPad and phones is very convenient, especially when using the Cortex anchor watch. Cortex texts me if my battery voltage is low, and allows me to see the voltage history. Peace of mind when I’m away from the boat, and peace of mind when off-shore is invaluable. I love being able to hail a boat by name without getting the binoculars out. We regularly cross paths with old friends who see us on AIS. I did have a wireless handset volume malfunction. Vesper actually answers their phone and customer service was excellent. I couldn’t be happier with Cortex. UPDATE: The monitor app doesn’t even open for me any more. This was 5 star before Garmin. Now it’s one star but I can’t change the rating. Garmin, if you’re listening, I used to love you. Now It seems you buy out your competition, double the subscription prices, and don’t care about quality or support. You’ve lost me in aviation, marine, and as soon as I find a replacement for my InReach, that’s gone too. Sick of being bent over by you guys.
Was great, but I’m unable to get it to work since the Garmin takeover. Support slow to respond and not helpful. Not going to let Garmin waste any more of my time with a detailed review, but remote access was a key feature that drew me to Cortex, and now it’s useless to me. I’m now planning to abandon this equipment and replace it with something better.
Works as advertised, great way to get boat data when remote!
For the first generation of vessel monitoring by Vesper this app is extremely impressive and is constantly improving.
