Won't connect to the phone directly. Only mirrors the screen and can't even control it. Really completly pointless and useless. Raymarine have it correct allowing you to control your plotter AND use your phone as an extra screen for differant views. Run it on a tablet and you atleast have some control. What are they thinking with this???

D70%
by D####:

I've used at least a dozen different devices and have not had an issue with app. Sounds like some folks need to familiarize themselves with their operators manual and possibly update the software on the machine.

G70%
by G####:

Works good on my S5, but it really shines on my x10 tablet. I can control all functions on my elite ti, the only thing you can't control is navigation/XI5. It will save me a lot of money not having to buy another unit for the bow of my boat!

by F####:

Doesnt work at all on various Android phones and tablets I have and also an Iphone6. No response from any support channels, complete rubbish product and very disappointing as it was one reason for choosing Simrad

Anything gofree makes is terrible and this is no exception. Please hire some people that know how to make a program/webpage. Annoying buying expensive units with your programs attached meant to be a bonus but its all just crap

App didn't work with any of my mainstream phones or tablets. No acces to settings to find reason. CrapApp

I have a blank screen on my Galaxy Tab with the menu bar across the top. I have control over my HDS9 but it doesn't do much good when I can't see what I'm doing on the tablet. Looks like this app needs some serious bug fixes.

Cant see why so many complaints only thing i cant control is auto pilot

Does not work. The previous version worked on my Samsung tab. It now connects and I get a black screen on the tab. Useless. Fix it or let me go back to previous version. Will not even connect on android phone. POS.

I managed to connect to my Galaxy TAB 4. But no screen duplication. The power button at the top of the app will power down the unit...nothing else...I purchased this with this use in mind.

This app would get 5 stars if it allowed phone control as well as viewing!

Force closes on every device that we have tried to use it with. This is one of the primary features advertised with the product Elite Ti, yet it does not work. Time for a civil suit at this point.

by C####:

You would figure it would work on a new Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge but nope....Pure Crap in my opinion. Tablet only....worthless as previous versions worked on phone.

Will not display on a Samsung Note Pro. Please fix.

Sucked

D70%

I cant see why they block you from controlling the device from a phone but allow control from a tablet. This needs to be fixed! Please explain the reason for this...

by C####:

works great on Nexus 9. very handy to access functions and setup chart details in comfort of the cabin. ----- wish it allowed autopilot control -- would be a great safety feature to control autopilot when other places on deck (example when under dodger to shelter from weather). an unfortunate industry standard that it is locked out in US, so not deducting a star for this.

I70%
by I####:

Intermittantly will not find display. When finds, try to connect and will not show display. Android says "waiting for permission from display" and never gets it i suppose

V70%
by V####:

Excellent application. With this app my Nexus 10 has perfect control of our Simrad NSS8. No discernable lag time beyond what is inherent in the NSS8. The video image does show some signs of compression, but nothing that gets in the way of seeing what you need to see.

Cannot control with Samsung galaxy S 3, nor zoom in or out, bummed...! Albeit you can get screen shot
