Raymarine

This latest release of the Raymarine app has totally broken the app. There are so many problems with this app, I really think it needs a complete revision. Main problems: no pull out side bar, horrible and totally redundant close bar at top of the screen, makes it too bright to use at night, just get rid of it. Poor use of screen real estate and poor graphics. I was unable to get this app to do anything so was unable to check if Pinch to Zoom has been fixed. I will continue to use RayRemote, its cleaner, faster, doesn’t need a log in.

Let’s me keep tabs on my boat and gives me piece of mind. One less thing to worry about!

This used to be a great way to connect phone to Axiom and worked ok. But now you need to log in - and there is no way to do this / it just fails rendering the app totally useless. The people at Raymarine obviously want to capture your data - but have made a huge backwards leap. A bit of testing wouldn’t go amiss!

Totally unusable at night and the data panels would be good if the text was not ridiculously small

This release is slightly better, at least Pinch to zoom now works. Why does there have to be a close X, just takes up screen real estate. Still no virtual controls, until you can have a pull out side bar with all the rotary controls, this will not do. I’ll continue to use RayControl, it has better graphics, Control sidebar, and fills the screen better. It also seems to be much faster. I mainly use RayControl on an iPad Pro.

Now works with A series plotters but requires you to create an account (why?) and the account creation process is very difficult to get working with iCloud Keychain. Stick with the old Rayview app. It works just fine and is refreshingly free of this nonsense.

At long last you can control your Axiom plotter from an iPhone or iPad. This app is a good first release, it is usable, fast, accurate, responds well to touch screen input. We use it to control our plotter (which is in the cockpit) from an iPad at the Navionics station. It needs a (hopefully) quick follow up to sort out some obvious problems: * It crashes quite a lot, not for any particular reason. Restart and it’s all ok. Until the next crash. * Pinch to zoom doesn’t work (not a big deal) * That’s about it Thanks Raymarine. Please update this soon to fix the crashing, please don’t leave us hanging for another year.

I love my axiom units but the app crashes constantly.

If you are purchasing this device for alerts and peace of mind while not onboard your vessel, don’t. The app does not send notifications, you have to go into the app, into the alert menu, then you will only see the alerts. That to me is not an alert. It also links your mobile number to the alert to send SMS if there is a high priority alert. This function does not work and there is no way to set the priority of the alert. Furthermore the support for the extremely buggy app is nonexistent, I received a message saying due to the fact that a boat show was on, there would be delays in receiving support. There are many other issues with this ecosystem, Wi-Fi dropping out and being kicked off the network being one of them. Updating the firmware/software or app does not resolve the issue.

Same experience as other reviewers. Connects to my Axiom 9 and mirrors on the display first try, but then complains about poor Wi-fi connection and says move closer even if I am sitting right behind the chartplotter and iPad shows strong Wi-fi connection. If it drops or iPad turns off, it will never connect again - just says “Reconnecting…”, complains about poor wi-fi and says connection lost. I can tell from the other reviews that this is the common experience. Seriously, if this is the best you can do, then why bother releasing the app? I guess testing in the field is not something they do in Belgium. Piss poor showing, guys!
