Works seamlessly with my Vulcan, but…

The detail on the c-map chart is not as good as the detail on the chart in my plotter. In particular many of the rocks around my sailing location do not have drying heights on them. Other than that it’s great, when I hop on the boat the courses that I have set on my iPad at home are all on the Vulcan ready to go.

Hoping Will Replace All other Apps - Not Yet

Firstly I’ve not used extensively and am hoping to revise my review down the line. I would love to replace all my apps with this and have consistency with the electronics on the boat. However the first glaring issue is navigation on an iPhone 12 Pro just does not work. The navigations for “Back”, “Save”, etc that display at the top of the screen overlap the time and make these buttons frustratingly hard to press. This frustration is enough to stop using until resolved. So next year when my Navionics card and App subscriptions expire I’ll revisit. For now it looks good, and I think it’s going to be great if it gets further development.

Developer Response ,

Thank you for your feedback, it is really appreciated. That is a deal then.
Our development team is working hard to make and maintain this app the best app out there.

It Just Doesn’t Work!

This app is so disappointing the maps now fail load on both my iPad and my iphone, I’ve paid the subscription for France and the UK, £52 in total, but the app is essentially useless because the maps won’t load and the app crashes when you try to download an offline map.
I have tried to submit this complaint via the feedback in the app but that is another thing that doesn’t work, critical error apparently so I am reporting these errors via the App Store.

I am very disappointed with this app especially as I’ve paid a considerable sum for the charts.
Therefore I would like a full refund please.

Developer Response ,
