Piano not so free ,

Nice app, unreliable

It often will not open on my iphone 11 or ipad mini (5th gen). Both are using ios 14.4. Both have over 100gig of space available and all other apps closed.
I have had to delete the app on my iphone and reload it to get it to work, but then I lose all my downloaded charts. Very frustrating. The point is to use this as a backup navigation tool when cruising, however with this behaviour its pretty much useless.

Navionics in Italy, Sardinië and Corsica

I used the app to navigate for 2 weeks on a sailing yacht through Italy, Elba, Sardinië and Corsica. I wasn’t sure how well it would work but I downloaded the Mediterranean chart and uploaded it onto my iPad and iPhone 13. I did have a sim card in my ipad but didn’t need it unless I wanted to use the weather feature on the app. (Which was also very accurate). My iPads GPS worked perfectly without needing data.

I am pleased to report that the app was extremely accurate both on rocks and dangers as well as depths. I really enjoyed using it, even for night approaches to tricky anchorages.

I also enjoyed the tracking feature to replay the days sailing when I arrived back at home.

Thank you for a great product. I hope to be able to go on another trip to use it again.
