Imray Navigator

Die App tut für mich, was sie soll. Ich will sie in Ergänzung zu anderen Navigationsmitteln nutzen, und denke, das wird ganz gut klappen. Unerfreulich ist, dass ein innerhalb der App generiertes Benutzerkonto nicht ausreicht, dass ich, aus Backup-Gründen, die selbe Subscription sowohl auf meinem iPad, als auch dem meiner Frau laden kann, da zusätzlich die AppStore ID genutzt wird. Wir haben eine Family Cloud, können also andere Apps innerhalb der Familie teilen, aber das Kartenmaterial hier geht nicht. Wenn mein iPad beim Segeln den Dienst quittiert, ist das sehr schlecht. Ich habe die unten vorgestellte Lösung ausprobiert, und halte sue nicht für praktikabel: - beim Umloggen des iPad gehen sämtliche Einstellungen verloren - nach dem Zurückloggen auf die ursprüngliche ID geht der Zugriff auf die zuvor heruntergeladenen Karten nicht mehr Gut, ich nutze die App nur als Ersatz der Papierkarte, mit möglichst wenig Intelligenz, aber, dass die Lösung nicht Backupfähig ist, empfinde ich schon als störend.

Kartenmaterial: Netherlands Dürftige Rasterkarten, keinerlei Zusatzinformationen, Bedienung nicht grade intuitiv. Wie's weit besser, ansprechender und intuitiver geht zeigen Navionics(auch zu teuer und vor allem Karten nur für EIN Gerät - iPad ODER iPhone) und iSailor (mein Favorit).

At a time where all electronic charts are improving in quality - this app seems to focus on cross selling. On an iPad the level of zoom is ridiculously bad and it does not even prevent you from purchasing charts you have purchased. I used to love Imray but frankly they are massively loosing grounds

Good app but can’t transfer routes between I Phone and I Pad as it says it can. Even though it proceeds with the transfer to the other device I can’t find it there. I tried many times but in vain I run the latest iOS 17.1.2 🙁Also distance measurement tool is an awkward to use it zooms out every time you access it and then you need to find your location again and drag the tool there it’s annoying and a bit time consuming.App is quite accurate with the Imray paper charts, which is nice. I would give it more stras if they fix the routes transfers between devices and the distance measurement tool.

Just crashes

So I paid £45 for non charts and just chat stuff. Then pay extra for charts. Completely unintuitive and hard to use. Taken me ages to simple plot a route. Then all the charts disappear on me for no reason. Waste of money so far.

This app is not a chartplotter as many of the reviewers on here seem to have expected. Better to think of it as a folio of charts that are overlaid on each other. I like Imray’s charts and their pilot books and I appreciate being able to view the charts on a 12.9 inch iPad screen. However, there are too many glitches for this app to properly deliver a good user experience. Help within the app is limited. I had to go to the website FAQ to solve some display issues. Most importantly from a navigation point of view, the important notes on regular printed charts are not available, so information on restricted areas or issues where more information is required, simply aren’t available. It’s not acceptable to say that I should go and buy the paper charts as well when everything is shifting to digital. Where other charting providers are working to provide fully integrated solutions, Imray’s priority seems to be how to digitise their existing paper assets as a rearguard action to protect their revenue. I rely on the Imray Tides app almost to the exclusion of all else, but whoever planned the rest of their digital offering doesn’t seem to have done so from a real world user’s perspective.

There is so much missing from this app is difficult to know where to start. Creating a route in a hurry, or easily, which is essential when a course is being given out at the start of a race is practically impossible. The charts don't show the names of buoys and you can't create a route from the list of waypoints. Lazy, ill thought out and basically useless. No evidence that any form of service design has been used here.

After changing my phone non of my subscription charts appear. I have logged out and back, currently there are no charts in the chart store. I have tried to restore the purchase but to no avail.

Great functionality and visibility on iPhone13. Specs claim it offers course to steer functionality but I don’t think it does. Can the publisher explain if it exists and how to use it please?
