Wärtsilä iSailor is an easy-to-use marine and river navigation application for amateur seafarers.
iSailor provides a clear presentation of navigational information, electronic charts and additional content.
TX-97 vector charts supported by iSailor are recognized worldwide as one of the most accurate and reliable sources of navigational information.
Chart folios can be purchased and downloaded in the iSailor Chart Store utilizing the standard iTunes Store payment/purchasing procedure. Chart correction service is provided on annual basis via the auto-renewable subscription service. iTunes will charge payment after confirmation of the chart correction purchase. You may manage your subscriptions and turn off the auto-renewal service in the Account Settings. Your subscription will automatically renew unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the subscription period. You can cancel your subscription in the Chart Store any time. All previously purchased chart folios will remain available for you and can be restored from the service via the Chart Restore function. To receive subsequent chart corrections for your purchased charts, you will need to subscribe to the annual updates in the Chart Store.

Sincerely yours,
iSailor Team
You buy a chart and expect that what you’ve purchased remains intact, but it doesn’t. It degrades as they pull detailed data that you’ve already paid for. You’d expect purchased updates to provide the latest survey data, and by all rights they do — but if you don’t need the latest and greatest survey data, you’d expect the old charts you bought to show you everything you bought. Nope — they pull the rug out from underneath you and dangle a $6 chart upgrade out there with no guarantee that the corrupted view of the area of interest will be any improved after taking the bait. I’m done with this app. Open CPN on raspberry pi it is.

I purchased 2 charts on this app and both fail to open every time. I have not been able to access or view either of the charts that I purchased.It keeps telling me to “try again later” when trying to download a purchased chart but it doesn’t work “later” either. Been trying for days. Updating phone, deleting and redownloading the app, nothing is working.Good thing I’m on land.Do not recommend.
Developer Response
Hello dear user, sorry for the inconvenience, the large influx of users updating the app caused difficulties on the server. Everything should be fine now. If not, please let me know. If everything is ok, please could you correct your rating. We are on the way to improving service, thanks in advance. Best regards, iSailor Team
