Lake missing

The Old man reservoir in Alberta is not on the map

IBoating

This app worked great at first but now it won’t recognize my activation key. They offer no support and without support it’s a waste of money. Don’t buy it.

Broken “Restore” button

New phone and tried to get the same maps, but the restore purchases button is broken/dead. So I cannot get the charts I want unless I pay 30$ for them again. So can you please fix this…

Scam

Never used a more inaccurate app, gps doesn’t work 90% off the time. Scam artists.

Reliable and Simple

The app delivered reliably its intended fonctions accurately, considering the fair value.

Review

Very disappointed that it doesn't have most of the Gatineau River and Cabonga Réservoir. Some areas are just hydrographic charts and are not 3D images.

No GPS???

Bought this program about a year ago, took it on a Sept trip. Worked fine. This spring I go on the same trip, but NO GPS!!! Because I did not buy new maps (and pay $34 again) it would not allow me to connect Bluetooth GPS. The map I was using was fine as rivers and shorelines do not change that much. So I still had a useable map, I could not GOS my position. Ended up switching to a street maps program to confirm my position. The street maps program showed the rivers, etc. So, if you want a useable marine navigation app with GPS, don’t buy this app. Buy something else, or just use a street maps program.

Service the program has given me

Over the years this program has helped me a lot I am a poor person and a triple Amputee and try to work and live life

Very basic so far

I’ve just tried the app for the first time. My first impression is that it is very basic. Which is fine . However one thing i don’t like is that the speed and course indicator in the bottom left is very small, and there doesn’t seem to be a way to enlarge it.

Trial proves its value

As competitors get greedy I decided to try this and have been super impressed by the value they provide and the Trial. I was able to pick one map region to download. I created a new route and saved it then jumped in the boat. Tracking and screen scrolling were bang on. I found some of the map detail a bit blurry when you really scroll in as they are images but only when you zoom in a lot. Definitely recommend giving it a try!!
