Used to be a very nice app, but the new version is not really an improvement. It starts some kind of data service which is almost impossible to turn off and causes the gps to be running all the time, quickly draining my battery. Also the weather routing is much less intuitive than it used to be, to create a new routing you have to access a submenu, which is weird considering that the whole screen is covered with extra buttons.

Its very useful and I love it! Simple to use with the nautical carts and wind forecasts on screen over the track I set days before I leave and then I follow or adjust for the best sailing.

The power of this app will blow your mind. No more guessing where the wind will be, what is the best course for wind. Does the thinking for you. Not the easiest to use, but this is not an app for idiots. Watch the YouTube videos on how to operate it and you will pick it up. I'm about to pay the$36 to get the pro version because the free version is awesome but limited.

It takes so long to load maps every time you move around or zoom. Can't download for my area so useless to me for offline. Just chews through data because can't save maps.

Running on nexus 7. Up and down the Chesapeake bay. Provides another planning tool that is very effective. Updates are very regular. It would be great if US currents were available.
