Ratings and Reviews
Couldn’t log in
Tried to use the facebook option to log in, which didn’t work and kept on reverting to the log in screen.
Useless
Downloaded the app and paid £17.00 for a chart. Unable to load or activate chart. Useless. Don’t waste your time and money.
Update:
I have now managed to activate the chart. It does not scale in and out well with far too much detail (e.g. soundings) completely cluttering the chart when zoomed out. (You can turn off deep water soundings but this does not solve the problem).
As far as I can tell, you need to upgrade to ‘Premium’ if you want to access any significant functionality (e.g. even the basic features of any navigation software such as plotting routes).
There does not appear to be any weather and tide data available beyond the ‘tidal diamond’ in-out information found on paper charts.
I was really hoping for something better than the ‘other’ marine navigation app which frustrating as it is, remains far ahead of the free version of this.
Update to update.
I really want this to work as the other app which could be so good is so awful in places.
Careful checking of the Seapilot website does say that additional features are available in the premium version. I’d be more inclined to pay if there was a free trial period. I’m a bit reluctant to put £40 down only to find that it’s not what I want.
Great!
Very helpful app. Only request would be to allow 'rotation' on the map with 2 fingers (like google maps).
