★★★★★Oct 20, 2026
PoS app

No reference to LANDmarks. No reference to anything.

★★★★★Oct 19, 2026
Rubbish

Used to be quite good. Now use Vessel finder.

★★★★★Oct 14, 2026
Range & bearing

Missing the range & bearing feature like the old version. A simple range & bearing from A to B. Also the option to have wind barbs on the weather chart.

★★★★★Oct 14, 2026
Trash

This is such a simple concept for an app and they somehow have managed to royally screw it up. This app used to be great—easy to use, full of useful information. Now, absolute trash. Hard to use, nothing works as it should. Makes me think that it’s being run by AI with no human involvement because there is no way a real person could develop this garbage and think that it’s good.

★★★★★Oct 14, 2026
New update removed features

New update removed features that I paid for, basically all this is good for now is looking at a map nothing more

★★★★★Oct 13, 2026
Not good anymore.

Used to work fine, now every time I click on a ship I am asked to upgrade to “pro”. Uninstalled.
