Description

Ratings and Reviews
Ok
Ottimo ausilio per la navigazione. Non lo conoscevo. Mi ha cambiato il modo di andare in barca
Last version 4.0.7 is unusable !
I was a big user of squid. I have released a lot of knowhow to other sailors but the new version is a joke. Map not appear, functions are not available, simply … unusable! I am paying it and during this period with a lot of regatta this is a nightmare. I am moving to other product
Bella ma senza polari… inutile
L’applicazione è bella e sarebbe anche molto utile, peccato che non puoi mettere le polari della tua barca quindi in questo modo è praticamente inutile
