Thames, K&A & South for Android
Its a great App and very useful... got in on my Galaxy Tab.... will not work on my GS4... it a bad app, if you'r going run update make sure they optimise on new devices?
I previously gave this 4*, but I have snce used the app. Oh dear! Essentially, it does not replace a paper Nicholson's Guide - it has far less info. So, you have to buy one anyway, so why bother with this app. The problems I found were: - it keeps losing GPS location, but instead of missing out the track point, it puts the wrong one in. On one morning, I covered 80 miles! And you can't correct the data. In comparison, I was running Google Tracks at the same time and it just skipped the bad track points - so the distance on that wasn't so bad. - you can't export GPX data for external apps,so I have to run another appa at the same time. On my next trip, I'm using Google My Maps and a Nicholson's Guide.
Open the app and it immediately without warning or option to cancel, downloads photos and maps. Very amateur interface and poor functionality. Uninstalled and reclaimed storage.
Very slow and not much functionality. Beware refund option is lost when you open the app. Rip off.

Both my e-canalmapps stopped working after upgrading to android 4.4.3. Best avoided until this problem fixed. E-mailed supplier but no reply yet. The contact form on their website didn't work!
Very slow and not much functionality. Refunded and uninstalled
I Had the map until I upgraded this morning. Now I have map tiles not available. Worst possible time cos we left our Nicholsons at home. How do I get a refund????
I have waited patiently for the 'Droid version of this app to become available so I could load it on to my Nexus7 to be a really useful companion on our narrowboat. Nicholsons it ain't! Maps are really difficult to use, scalability is all over the place and impossible to control. Systems menu seems not to exist. I will allow it to upgrade a couple of times before deleting if it doesn't get any better. A shame, the idea is brilliant and would be really useful on the boat. ***** - So, following the latest upgrade, I have now lost all of my map tiles. Followed the instructions below to clear the data and reinstall and the download keeps interrupting before it completes with an occasional 404 error thrown in for good measure. Not sure if I can take away the 1 star I awarded yesterday??? - *****
This app works perfectly. Very fast 'real time' GPS positioning. So much more information than the paper Nicholson Guide.
Being in Rugby and not looking properly (and not realising there its a map on the website, albeit not the clearest of directions to said area) I bought this app only to be amazed at the size of the one and a half gigabytes download and then disappointment at not finding my winter mooring in this particular section. Would have been handy if I could have ordered a CD for posting to my Marina as it would have saved some embarrassment over my grabbing the internet wifi and upsetting my neighbours! Is the map any good? Well, once I move into an area covered by it I might be able to find out......
Its a great App and very useful... got in on my Galaxy Tab and Sony Xperia S, it does crash quite a lot on both devices unfortunately and the map doesn't track as you travel, be careful when you download as its around 6GB... so if you'r not on a unlimited plan or you'll be paying even more :-( It shows you all the places to stop, Water, Pubs, Locks. and for £5/£6 is a must if you are unsure of our beautiful waterways.
It takes a while to download the maps on installation but it is worth the wait. Great app., loads of information and detailed maps, not just of the waterside . GPS tracking is excellent. I would recommend this to anyone.
Navigation poi and facilities infoormation is good but there are issues with GPS position display. Generally worth its money thorough. Hope there are some fixes on the way!
Just to slow to use

This long overdue update will hopefully ensure the app works again. I've rated it on the basis that it does.
