Such a promising app, but so unpolished, buggy, and inconsistent. Location gets stuck if you reopen it after a while (it has all the location permissions). Opening points of interest sometimes works, sometimes not. Sometimes it allows you to navigate from your current location, sometimes not. Sometimes your speed is shown in the bottom left, sometimes -- it's not! Depth lines could be more precise. But still fun to use.

Hi Lovro - thank you so much for using the app and for the review. I'd love to find out more about some of your frustrations so we can figure out how we can make the app better, or indeed make it more intuitive to use. My email is [email protected] Thanks

I bought the premium subscription. What a total waste of money. This app has more flaws than the empire state. E.g. Planning a route you look at navigable depth - this doesn't do that, you need to consider tidal currents - this thinks the tide is the same whatever the depth. It takes forever to calculate a route, always starting now. When it finally produces and you alter the departure time (you can't set an arrival time) it starts all over again. Not usable for real sailing. Underdeveloped.

Hi, thanks for taking a look at the app. We use chart datum as your navigable depth, not dynamic depths. This is for safety reasons. I'd love to know more about the routes that struggle to work - my email is [email protected] and I'm standing by to help. If you look in the departure scheduler you can plan based on arrival time or conditions.

Just been up to Scottish Islands and app was "So So". Route planning wasn't accurate, kept on dropping out when signal wasn't great. AIS wasn't showing alot of traffic when other apps were working much quicker. Weather wasn't very accurate. Just seemed an OK app but nothing special. For now I'd say its a tool for planning and generally just seeing what's about certain areas. I wouldn't use this for navigation. Perhaps as it updates it may get better features and accuracy.
