RayRemote

Unbelievably bad! Won’t connect with 2024 axiom with all software updates.Since it is unable to connect, it keeps asking to retry. You can’t even stop the app, Had to shut down and restart iPhone just to regain control of iPhone.

This app is a waste of time, it doesn’t work smoothly and it won’t connect through a Starlink router. Meaning that if my iPad is connected to the chart-plotter the iPad won’t have any internet connectivity. Please fix this problem Raymarine! Your lack of commitment to making this existing product line work is exactly why I won’t be purchasing the new product line!

You must connect your display WiFi to your phone via WiFi sharing on the Raymarine device. Took a while to figure this out.

I am unable to use this Ray Remote app at all! I have successfully installed and connected to my Axiom 12 MFD, but the display on my iphone is not interactive at all! And when I’m connected to the Axiom MFD via WiFi, it blocks cellular data and makes my phone unusable!

Did anyone actually test this? Totally worthless. Also, why can we not connect over Wifi when all devices are on the same network? Connecting to the MFD’s Wifi has no network connectivity. On a connected yacht, it’d be nice to remain connected.

Set up this app and my MFD to connect by WiFi, but the app continues to say it cannot find my MFD. Raymarine technician says I did everything correctly, so puzzled why it wasn’t hooking up. But as an earlier reviewer remarked, once the app cannot find the MFD, there is no way to get it to stop looking. The only choice is to REPEAT the search. I tried to stop it by shutting my iPhone down, but when I restarted the phone the app was still searching. Deleting the app from my homepage did nothing, and deleting it completely did nothing; it is still “in the cloud” and when it comes back it is still in search mode. Presumably this would prevent me from trying to hook up by Bluetooth, which one must do in order to use the app while sailing and away from your WiFi. After reading earlier reviews, it appears the app is useless anyway, since you cannot both see the chart and the controls simultaneously (I can’t vouch for this since I can’t get that far.) Save yourself the grief of trying to get it to work.

There is no way to close this app once it’s opened, you have to reboot your phone. Perhaps it has never been updated to work with a newer iPhone that doesn’t have a home button.

On an iPhone this is only good as a mirrored device. On an iPad it is better but drops the connection if you minimize the app to switch over to weather or something else. Just give us an update please!

Agree completely with the previous review. For example, I can view the screen and see AIS traffic, but I can’t pull up AIS info without leaving the flying bridge and using the MFD. It is clear that Raymarine’s main interest is to sell me another overpriced MFD.

If the app doesn’t find your mfd, it’s locked in a loop of “do you want to retry?” There is no “no” option and no swiping up to force-quit the app. You have to do a hard restart of your phone. How did Raymarine or even apple let this get through?
