## Simrad Reviews in Australia

### **--- "App not working"
For such a high end sounder the app is terrible.
Trouble sinking with wi Fi and mobile.
Definitely not worth the money.
-- ChrisDHay, 2024-12-27

### *---- "Terrible app"
This app is unstable at the best of times. Get the effective spinning wheel of death....tried to register a device and it just hangs on the same page and doesn’t proceed. Also downloaded it to ipad and it doesn’t even open. Yes there is more than enough storage on my device and yes I have ios 12.0 and later
-- Gti George, 2024-11-29

### ***** "Great app for Boating"
Great app to use for boating and managing Waypoints and Routes to load onto my Simrad units in my boat. Highly recommend.
-- StuHarm11, 2024-07-17

### *---- "Rubbish app"
Flakey and unreliable. Crashes, burns through battery life, nearly impossible to sync, painful UI. Lacks many basic features, sort ordering bug where days are based on GMT time not localised time setting. Splash screen contains video that hijacks audio channel and interrupts playback. No way to export data, no way to manually edit of adjust tracks. No way to tag of categorise marks and tracks - everything just exists in a gigantic single list.

Worst of all: constant nagging to pay for overpriced ‘premium’ subscription. At least the app is consistent with the gutter-trash quality of my Simrad chartplotter!
-- Ben Cornwell, 2024-05-29

### ***** "Worth it!"
Discovered even the free access allows map viewing and smart route plans. Entered two points on different rivers and it draws a path between them for safe passage. Will definitely be upgrading once I have my boat back on the water.
-- HotJethro, 2024-04-12

### *---- "Months of downtime, no compensation!"
When simrad / cmap was hacked they contacted subscribers mentioning that they would be locked after. But no! They kept subscribers money while there product was unusable.
Made the change to navionics, and so glad I did.
-- Screw Simrad!, 2024-04-06

### ***-- "Good, but flaky…"
Best chart maps on the market, by far…however app crashes when synchronising with plotter in boat. When it does synch, it duplicates 3-4 fold the waypoints, which need to be deleted manually. I prefer over Garmin for chart detail, but disappointed by the surprisingly flaky tech.

The auto-routing function is superb, and almost compensates for poor tech.
-- Freo tragic, 2023-12-12

### *---- "Rubbish expensive app"
Fails to load weather and wind. Makes it hopeless as a marine app. They never fix it. Now I understand the app data has been hacked!
-- Gazgol1, 2023-12-03

### ***** "Off tap"
10/10
-- Tommygunfishn, 2023-10-12

### **--- "Autorouting is dangerous for beginners"
Okish app for syncing but autorouting app does not take into account any nav beacons, sand bars or safety buoys in general so beware if you are looking for an alternative to navionics
-- Vinnie.n, 2023-10-02

### ***** "Useful App"
This app definitely adds to the usability and value of the Simrad chart plotter
-- DarrylH22, 2023-08-17

### *---- "Syncing is terrible"
I seldom write reviews but decided to do this one because this app is so bad that it constantly froze whenever I tried to provide the feedback it asked me to give.  Below is what I tried repeatedly to tell Simrad but couldn’t.
Oh, the positive?  The navigation and charting (C map not Simrad) is excellent.

I have 2 x networked evo 3s and the Simrad app. The sync between them is appalling. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. When my plotter syncs to the cloud it is totally hit and miss whether my phone and ipad will update. The ipad and phone routinely have different data even though both are logged into my account. Sometimes a device won't update for months. Worse, most of the time the plotter won't recognise either mobile device for a non cloud sync. I switched from Navionics because C map shaded relief is better. However, syncing is more important and Navionics worked perfectly. The Simrad app doesn't even have a sync now button. When it does sync I end up with multiple waypoints with slightly different names.
Premium price for a product which is worse than beta level. If it is not fixed I'm going back to Navionics.
-- HEELD01, 2023-07-11

### ***-- "App won’t let you purchase subscription."
Tried to purchase the yearly subscription, when it goes to certify the purchase with Simrad it can’t. Apple shows the subscription and will charge even though you can’t get the app to recognise the purchase.
-- Teedy27, 2023-06-15

### *---- "Keeps failing"
I am so disappointed in this app.  It keeps dropping out with the white screen of death, the interface is very clucky.  I have both subscriptions to navionics and simrad and apps are worlds apart, I find myself using navionics most of the time…
-- Squiddyg, 2023-03-17

### ***** "Best ever"
The Simrad app is great, it seamlessly integrates with your phone. I can lay in bed, plan a route and when I get on the boat the route is already on my display 👍🏻
-- Whitley 2380, 2023-03-09

### ***** "Simrad forefront"
Innovative,efficiency,transparent productive
These are things I think off when I think simrad 
They are truly at the forefront in all things marine electronics and this simrad app is no exception.
-- mkataya, 2023-03-05

### ***** "As good as my Simrad Plotter"
Using this app to sync with my Simrad units is awesome for planning the next days trips and sending them across to the boat.
-- Kenny Fisho, 2022-08-25

### ***** "Whitsundays"
Best combo ever
-- Typhoon 1970, 2022-04-11

### ***** "Simrad app"
Just started using this so for passage planning, find it very easy and intuitive.
-- timryl, 2022-03-02

### ***** "Mr"
Tinker
-- Tinker HI, 2021-07-19
