I don't appreciate at all that this company began to charge me prior to my 2 week trial being up. I barely had a chance to test out this product before my bank contacted me about an unusual charge to my account. I'd like contact back about this and my money returned to my account! It is outrageous to operate like this. Either have the free trial and allow people to get to like your product or be upfront about how the billing works. A two free trial should mean I am able to test the app for 2 weeks prior to you charging me and allowing me to decide if your product is something I plan to keep after that 2 week period. In very disappointed in this company and its procedures.

charts are gkod, usability is very poor. Badly designed, lack of tools to download and manage charts. really designed to be used connected to the internet. Not very good as a navigation system where no internet connectio is available.

Loved the trial and will be buying a license for the next trip. Fantastic charts, user-friendly and easy to use. The only thing I didn't like is the route side tab can be a little obtrusive, but you can't have everything, and I'm sure you can get used to it.

When competing in the Newport to Ensenada race we had a 1000 dollar GPS on board but found my phone app was better for harbor and island approaches

I use the free version. I do a lot of night fishing and i go many miles out and the channel i use to get in and out from has a couple of rocks that are near the surface during low tide. So i use the app to navigate around them. For that and to help me find my channel at night from many miles offshore. For me it works great. I use my fish finder for the rest, so i havent had need for the rest of the features.

Free app is better than the 17 dollar version. Got absolutely nothing for spending 17 bucks on this stupid app. Need to buy the maps for 65 and the free trial just download what you need and move on.

Terrible app that does not work on Northern Canadian lakes Buyer be aware, I asked for a refund and because I'm 3 days over after purchase they will not refund you terrible! I have a large youtube channel with with millions of views I'll make sure they know what app they should get not this one!

I purchased the app and loved it. Then it pushed an update down and now they want payed every year. I only use it maybe once a year. I paid a lot for the app but I don't want a subscription!!!

Problem fixed quickly. Thanks. I paid for Mediterranean charts 3 months ago but they say my subscription is expired. Don't sync markers between my phone and my tablet either.

I have paid $69.99 for this app and it doesn't give me the charts I can login with my name but it doesn't seems to be logged because I can't use the features and it keeping asking for money that already been taken from my credit card. Thieves!! PLEASE DONT BUY IT!!!

Your $ are gone for good after (2?, or, at most) 48 hours (Google Play is ONLY refund path and refund requests are algorithm-automatically denied after that juncture) while Navionics Help unable to answer data importation feature functionality / data file import feature development time-line questions in a timely fashion ... what good is a navigation planning app that cannot import extensive established waypoint & route data in (a) common (KML, KMZ, GPX) data file format(s)?

Sometimes I rely on this more than my chart plotters. Much easier to get bridge names and clearance.

Great App Used it last weekend to navigate around the inside of the Isle Sheppy UK at low tide. Worked very well, but I wish I could have kept my position in the centre of the screen, without having to manually move the screen, or am I missing a feature? Regards Alan

This app was great it's not anymore I paid $20 for it several years ago when it first came out and now that I've paid that they're going to a monthly basis to get the detailed maps this is absolute BS

I have used this app all over the Eastern Seaboard and it has never let me down! I use it on my pleasure craft as well as on my job with the US Navy.

by Z####:

Really functional, even when offline I used it to navigate into the Creek at southend UK, lots of shallows lots of buoys, be aware though it took three months for the subscription payment to be processed, and Google or the three network won't say what the sudden spike in your phone bill is

Just spent 6 hours with this app and the nav+ Trial showing all contour lines on the upper ottawa river the app while nicely done and looks extreamly detailed the information it contains for the ottawa river was just outright wrong. While we're above a hydrodam I had to adjust the water level in the options the rest of the app did not take this adjustment into effect only the map view seemed to take any adjustment from this setting. I then ran to several locations that indicated u dewatering hills valleys and shelf coordination g data with the on board Hummingbird depth finder. We checked out 14 locations where there should have been up to a 50' point of underwater interest while doing 5 meter scans back and forth over the area there was no indication on the depth finder to indicate the data in this app was correct. Now if I was in trestle in buying a sonar and updating their maps for them I might be willing to recommend this but considering not only is there a upfront cost they want a monthly subscription for completely incorrect data is not very appealing to me. Nor many others looking for detailed contour maps for fishing. For navagaton I'd say this is a ok app to get around just do not use the contours section unless your sure your area has correct data

Has absolutely zero data for a large well used Canadian river and the displayed map is not even close to accurate in terms of shoreline and island placement
