Ratings and Reviews
Very disappointing
I’ve been using Navionics for more than 5 years. Unfortunately with time it became worse and worse.
First major issue - stability. It randomly crashes and closes on 2021 iPad mini more than 10 times per day. Tried deleting and reinstalling it, but to no avail, it continues to crash. Reason couldn’t be lack of device resources, it’s powerful enough for other applications.
Second issue - working with Tracks. It usually gives “unknown error”, but somehow saves the track. Thank you at least for that.
User interface is quite unintuitive and can be much improved. I watched a ton of videos of gow to use it, but still find it quite cumbersome.
My call with this review is two fold - urge the developers to do a better job in 21st century since we don’t have that many navigation apps anyway. C’mon Garmin, you are not some company in the garage. Second - help new users make a better choice until this one is fixed.
Safe sailing to everyone.
