App becoming non-functional while en-route

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.

Developer Response ,

Our developers have identified the cause and the app’s functionality is now back to normal. Please, try now to log in into the Boating app by using your Navionics account.
