Reviews for Navionics® Boating

I like Navionics a lot better than the marine gps unit on my boat. One thing I would like for Navionics to add is a way to put an on off icon that puts a shaded circle around your boat. I boat in an area that has a lot of Navy ships that we are […]

Good job integrating Active Captain in to Navionics. This is what I hoped would happen when Garmin acquired both brands. The only improvement I could suggest would be to make the Active Captain icons show up at lower zoom levels. As it is you have to zoom in quite a bit for the icons to […]

Horrible. Downloaded 5 times. Uninstalled it 4. Always showing error that prevents creating an account. And, SURPRISE, you can’t use it without an account. Be looking for something else. And yes, I’ve enabled cookies and 3rd party, tried it all. Would purchase it but can’t dload the free so doesn’t make much sense to pay […]

Pay attention to the routes! It will route you outside of a marked channel, or refuse to create a route in a marked channel. You need to have basic boating experience and common sense when using this app. Also they have doubled the subscription price in the last couple years, while recently removing the ability […]

So apparently, the needs of the many, outweigh the needs of the few (paid customers). I paid more for this (old) app than I’ve ever paid for any other app. Now, that app is being discontinued in favor of a new app that requires an annual subscription. I live on the coast and have no […]

Garbage app stopped working after a couple hours. Says it’s tracking but no map displayed. Glad I didn’t pay for a subscription. Back to navigating by eye. At least my eyes are reliable. UPDATE: Why do I have keep selecting “course up” and why can’t the app remember that I want my depths in feet […]

Overall the app is great! However is could be better. For example, when you place a pin it will only go to your current location. You should be able to add a pin where ever you’d like, even enter a lot and long for it, and then be able to name it. I’d find this […]

Used the app in Montana last winter. Every place we checked depth with app, it said we were in around 50ft deeper water than we actually were. (Ex: app said 60ft, actual depth 6ft). Doubling price in one year doesn’t help. Why should I pay twice the price for something off by that much in […]

Coming up on 1 full year and this bug has still not been fixed – but good news – I found its replacement! For several years now I have been overlooking Navionics irritating and potentially dangerous behavior in which every time you zoom in, out or over, the view changes from my preferred “course up” […]

From a few days ago the app always crashes when network changes. And at sea it surely changes a lot! But the stars are even lower because it always changes when you get to your destination and to the cell towers that comes with it. Exactly when you most need it!! Not acceptable in this […]

I’ve had Navionics for the last year. It’s a great app. However, this year the price doubled from $25 to $50 for an annual subscription. That’s a ridiculous increase, and given that I go sailing about 3-4 times a year, simply not worth it. In checking out the alternatives, I found i-boating – better reviews, […]

Heard about your app. Looked it up. Says it contains ads but, OK, you are allowed to do that. Downloaded app and registered. at the end, it turns into a subscription. Another subscription. Another app that drains your bank account. AND you have ads. Nope. Please put on your info screen that there is a […]

very unhappy with the new two device limit. this means a husband and wife can’t have navionics on their phones AND a tablet. that is a very normal setup and triple redundancy is a standard for any process control. most use navionics on the tablet but when there’s a problem the phone use can be […]

I’ve had this app for years. I’ve always paid for the upgraded version. It was an all in one app. I could mark spots on the lakes and rivers, I could also mark spots on land or In creeks for hunting or arrowhead hunting. They took away the satellite imagery on land so now all […]

*Edit for Nav’s response- You’re shooting yourselves in the foot. The app is COMPLETELY useless now without a subscription. You’re going to lose new customers that don’t know what the app CAN do, you’ll lose old customers like me that will not pay $50. I used to upgrade just for satellite view. At least give […]

Poor quality of product. I used this app when it was a standalone product and now that Garmin has purchased it the app is not user-friendly and has a large pink line preventing you from seeing the Chanel lines. When I called customer support to request a refund was refused help and told that I […]

It is terrible since they merged with Garmin. I have had the updated version for 6 months and continuously get the circular error that tells me I need to subscribe, then I hit subscribe and it tells me I’ve already subscribed and sends me back to the screen that tells me I need to subscribe. […]

this is a great app and could be 5 stars, but can you please provide an option to move the cursor to the bottom of the screen like it is in driving map applications? I use this for boating on rivers and need to zoom in to see the water level. when the curor is […]

They constantly say that their app is a cutting edge navigation tool. But you can’t manually enter a waypoint by coordinates, or (unlike Marks) sort the lists of Tracks and Routes by Name, only by such useful things as Distance and Date Created. Cutting Edge? Not so much. Any suggestions made to the app devs […]

Used to have old maps for life. They have now changed the TOS after the fact and now you no longer have access to maps previously purchased after the subscription ends. STAY AWAY! Completely unacceptable behavior. I’ll be sure to steer clear of all Garmin products (smart watches, etc.) in the future as a contract […]
