App becoming non-functional while en-route
stay away while I'm sailing
I’m a satisfied user of the app for the second year now. Yesterday, while navigating in some tight spots the ios app requests signing in or creating a new user account. No obvious ways to get back to the navigation page or any other page. App restart did not help either. Boat is moving at 7 knots in 20 knot gusts of wind and I need to find the safe route through a narrow passage between islands. Absolutely no time to start creating a new user account.This is completely unacceptable. I have paid for the app and sign-in has never before been suggested. I’m not against user accounts, but I strongly insist the app to remain functional while in use. Gladly Navionics was not the only method of navigation on-board and we got home safely. I ditched my earlier navigation app due to similar incident. Please tell me that Navionics can do a better job than this.

Ei toimi

Ostin lisenssin mutta en saa softaa käyntiin. Se haluaa vaan koko ajan myydä samaa kartastoa ja lisäpalveluja uudestaan ikuisessa loopissa. Käyttökelvoton.
Developer Response
We are sorry we cannot reply in your language. The message you are encountering is because the subscription is linked to a different Garmin/Navionics account. To access your subscription, please log in to the Navionics Boating app using the same Garmin/Navionics account used at the time of the purchase. You may have used more than one in the past, and thus several attempts may be necessary. For additional help, you can contact us directly from within the app by going to Menu > Submit Feedback or to navionics.support@garmin.com, and provide the receipt of your purchase https://tinyurl.com/n3nkyv8n along with all the email addresses you might have used to create your account. We will be happy to assist you. Thank you and have a nice day.
Bug fixing and optimization.
