INavX: Marine Navigation for Negative User Reviews
✓ Difficult to use and way too expensiveThis is one of the worst apps I have used. It is difficult to use, requires subscriptions to x-traverse and siitech if you want maps and AIS data; charts for ipad and iphone and sold separately at aroud $50US each for Australia, that is on top of the app cost. The app is way hard to use, it feels like a mash up of modern technology and something really old and difficult. There is a massive opportunity for someone to get a really good boat navigation app together, price it reasonably, fix all the awful interfaces for download data and charts. On the upside yes the quality of the charts are great - but they are expensive so on cost vs quality they are only adequate when you understand it is $50 for a map. Having to pay twice for the charts (subscription is through x-traverse not inavx) really annoyed me when the chart cost is already so high. The instruments screen is useful for showing speed and heading while your out. Sitting an ipad4 and a iphone5 running inavx (all other apps shutdown) next to a hand held Garmin GPS though showed that the idevices have a few seconds, sometimes it feels like about 20 seconds, lag compared to a handheld. Overall 2 stars for this app because I think it will do what I want if I keep paying and importing and exporting kml files..Version: 3.7.0
✓ Horribly organized chartsThe main purpose of this app is to view nautical charts, and it fails horribly at that task. Viewing any one chart is fine, but switching between charts and trying to figure out which chart you need...incredibly frustrating. It is so completely non-functional that I will be deleting this app and requesting a refund. Future updates need to include a “my charts” folder where you can easily see a list of the charts you have downloaded. There also needs to be a large scale, infinitely zoomable map, that clearly shows the coverage areas of available charts, along with the name of the chart as a clickable link..Version: 5.5.6
✓ INavX iPadTerrible program for an iPad. Beware purchasing this app/subscription for Alaska/BC/Washington. Old Navionics worked great and very practical. Garmin altered the program so route planning is a 20 or 30 step process rather than a graphics based process. Very awkward and very impractical. The NOAA data base is now stored and used by individual chart and is not stitched together like Navionics. For Alaska, all you can do is pick the correct chart from a list of 350 charts. Unless you know the chart name from an adjacent chart, you have to hunt and guess. This is very awkward and not practical. I have not been able to download 50% of the Navionics data base, and 50% of BC. How frustrating and amateur. There are other oversights and failures! I can not recommend this app or subscription unless Garmin invests some serious effort to revamp the software and eliminate the bugs..Version: 5.5.6
✓ RIP offI’m in the UK and this does not work. This is deliberate deception!.Version: 5.5.6
✓ CrappI want my money back.Version: 5.5.6
✓ Not fit for purposeDo not buy this app. It is not fit for purpose. The app costs a small amount then to use it you buy access to the global chart dataset. You download areas of the world in which you are interested. The underlying chart data has no information at all about the light characteristics of lighthouses. None. This renders the app almost useless and potentially dangerous. Lighthouse characteristics are an essential component of a chart. To sell this to the public while unable to display that data is unethical and probably illegal. I have asked for compensation for being tricked into buying this, but have not heard back from iNavX..Version: 5.6.10
✓ Useless for UKDoesn‘t offer UK charts.Version: 5.6.16
✓ They make it impossible to unsubscribeThey make it impossible to unsubscribe from the very expensive additional services and the app itself is absolutely hopeless... they need to check out Foreflight for pilots to get some directional !!!!.Version: 5.1.1
✓ Disaster - huge geographic gaps in chart offerings.I have been using this for over 10 years. Tried others but not nearly as effective until now as it seems they have lost the ability to offer Navionics charts. There are massive gaps in chart availability and no ability to use it crossing an ocean. This needs to change VERY fast otherwise you will lose all your subscribers and super fast..Version: 5.6.14
✓ I navBought this app and charts for Ontario waters are non existent unless you pay an additional 49.00 us in addition to a 10.00 subscription to another service. Even willing to pay the extra money did not give me easy access. Wish I could get my money back.Version: 3.5.2
✓ A rip offThe app costs £4.99 to install, but only when you do, you find the charts for your area cost £55 to install. I’m stunned. It’s not clear and it’s not fair. Appalling..Version: 5.5.6
✓ Utterly uselessHighly overcharged Navionics charts! Why???? One should go directly to Nsvionics!.Version: 5.2
✓ Powerful app with fatal flaws.I’m very disappointed with my purchase. Given the stellar reputation of this app I thought I was in for a treat. But the app is deeply flawed. 1. The app remains on in the background, apparently getting location updates, until you force close it. This is not difficult to do but it is difficult to remember. When you forget you will realize something is wrong a few days later when your phone is inexplicably losing battery. Simply launching the app for a second and then closing it causes this inexplicable behaviour by the app 2. The Fugawi quilted charts that I purchased cannot be downloaded in advance. The developer points out you can pan over an area, and then zoom to all zoom levels for all the areas you need, and the app will cache the maps. This is not practical. It would take ages to, say, zoom to all areas between Vancouver and Desolation sound. You would certainly miss a few spots at a certain zoom level. But even If you do download your maps they are not there permanently and could be booted from cache on a whim by your iPhone. Then when you are out in an area with no cell service you suddenly lose your charts! It’s apps like this that make people say you need to hold onto your paper charts. It’s not all bad. The fugawi maps are gorgeous. The app works very well and is highly customizable. But the above problems I listed above mean I will not use this as my primary navigation app. I contacted the developer and was told about inconvenient work arounds. I would have preferred a commitment to upgrade the code..Version: 5.2
✓ British Columbia coast not availableOf no use in Canadian Pacific waters..Version: 5.6.29
✓ Charts Won't Load!I've had this app for 3 years now with no problems at all, and I loved it until now. I suddenly can't get the charts to load, just a gray screen. I restarted my phone and it just showed a very distant view of the charts (can't zoom in at all). I deleted and reinstalled the app, still nothing (IPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 15.6). I had just renewed my subscription 2 months ago, what a waste of money! I live in remote coastal Alaska and need charts on my phone, so I'm going to cancel my subscription, delete the app and switch over to Savvy Navvy. And I want a refund please!.Version: 5.6.15
✓ INavX- not very goodI've recently downloaded this and can't use it due to me being in australia. This may be good for use people but if your in australia you then need to join up to a company to download the aust. charts. This is expensive and a pain. We already have been using navionics charts and think this iNavX is a waste of time, money and energy to get it to work..Version: 3.5.2
✓ Disappointed!!!I was looking for coverage of the Trent System and thought at this price it would be there. If I could get my money back I would. Unhappy Sailor!.Version: 3.2.8
✓ Do not buyNo Canadian charts and they charge you for every chart. Waste of money and poor user interface..Version: 5.5.6
✓ Waste of time and moneyThis app does not even show the weather forecast and wind predictions, when you go to look at the weather it says you need to pay $34.99 even though the app alone was not free..Version: 5.5.6
✓ Does Not work well. Locks up. Very Expensive.I spent a lot of money on this app and charts to go with it. Well over a hundred dollars on charts alone. I’ve had it for about 3-4 weeks now. I downloaded iNavX for a sailing trip. We ended up using the i-boating app most of the time, instead of this iNavX. We just couldn’t trust it. NavX stopped working on both the ipad and iphone. Not helpful when you’re underway. My family and I found it awkward to use. I had read an article in a sailing magazine that had highly recommended this app. They couldn’t have been further from the truth. This app is very clunky and is not helpful at all when trying to plan a passage, for an area your currently not in. Ie: your in one province or state trying to plan your trip in another area. Save your money and look elsewhere..Version: 5.5.6
✓ No charts for QuebecNot even available at an extra cost Refund please.Version: 5.5.10
✓ Ps de contenu canadien.J’ai pris soin d’acheter les cartes Navionics Canada et USA et la carte est vide. Très déçu. Pourquoi ils n’avisent pas avant? J’ai dépensé de l’argent pour rien.Version: 5.5.6
✓ 7 bucks ! For what ??Crap... don’t get sucked in to this app.... can I get a refund ?.Version: 5.5.6
✓ Warning Canadian Maps are $70 Extra per regionSold in Canadian iTunes Store with hundreds of US specific maps, extremely limited Canadian maps. Great Lakes have only the US Coast Guard Maps. Poor coverage of Georgian Bay, no coverage of Simcoe and limited coverage around major waterways such as Toronto or Kingston. For example best map for Toronto has a map scale of 1:400,000 or 1:1,500,000 for Georgian Bay. minus two to three stars. NavX - package your goods for the market you sell them in. Either give Canucks a free update with the Canadian maps, or disclose that there is no Canadian content in your app description. Software seems OK for functionality..Version: 0
✓ Charge more, less serviceWrote a long review but since nickname was taken iTunes deleted the lot... For Australia I had issues with yacht club mark renaming to waypoint and nonexistent ais coverage in port Phillip bay, radio shadow west of the prom...iNavX not interested in feedback...it's way more expensive than in us, in particular with the $90 maps but almost no support outside, go figure..Version: 4.0.2
✓ DONT BUYIm a professional mariner having used Inavx for almost 10 years. It was good and the navionics vector charts were okay. then some genius a few months ago introduced an allaine with CMap. since I did not renew my subscription with Navionics The only choice is CMap. The cmap download only allows about 30 square miles at a time. !!!!! it would take me days to download a trip between just Vancouver and Prince Rupert. I do have the option to download raster charts .. but that would cost me hundreds and hundreds of dollars. Someone butchered this app. NOT RECCOMENDED (unless an alliance with navionics is re-established)..Version: 5.6.5
✓ Rip offWhere are you paying $8 you get nothing but an unusable world map and then you have to pay extra $ 60-70 to get your local area. Do not use this if you only want your local 100 mile radius for JetSki or recreational boating as it cost a lot.Version: 5.5.6
✓ AwfulNot for the European market unless you want to spend some £80 on charts. Deleted already..Version: 5.5.10
✓ GarbageRecommend you dont waste you money..Version: 5.5.6
✓ Can’t say enough bad things about this appThis is the most un-user friendly app I’ve ever used. The UI has zero intuitivenesses. Try to create a route to sail from one location to another? Add starting and ending waypoints and hit “go to” it shows a strait line route across land. I do the same thing in the Navionics Boating app and it shows the correct route through the water with the estimated distance and time it will take. After trying to figure out how to use this app I finally had to read the users guide. No help there. Totally worthless app, don’t waste your money like I did..Version: 5.6.16
✓ What a ripoffWay too expensive.Version: 5.0.6
✓ Steep subscription feesYou have to buy the app to find out that there is $163 annual subscription fee for the charts the government publishes for free. I would not recommend..Version: 5.5.6
✓ Not UK friendlyI wish I’d known this wasn’t suitable for the UK waters. I found it through a UK based sailing recommendation sight..Version: 5.6.10
✓ Rip Off£5.00 for an empty app with no substance - just subscription services being offered. A middle-person of an app - at £5 - with no substance of its own to offer..Version: 5.5.6
✓ Waste of moneyJust bought the app for £4.99 and get onto it where I find I have to buy more charts which are £60+ total waste of money and too expensive for what it is. You can get apps better than this like Navionics for FREE!.Version: 5.5.6
✓ Great, but flawedThis is a great app for the price. However, managing Chart downloads is extremely inefficient and time consuming. They should give you the option to download only specific regions (i.e. New England, or Florida) and not a whole coasts. They should also allow you to batch delete charts and not have to delete them individually, each with the multiple menu selections just to remove one chart at a time..Version: 5.0.9
✓ Developes need to study regression testing!Release 5 upwards should be backed out due to the volume of errors it has introduced, particularly around navigations. Edits to prior waypoints and changes to routes are lost when you close iNavX ... in fact, iNavX now doesn't save the Vessel Name if you change it. The application crashes when you loose the TCP/IP connection (to Digital Yacht's iAIS) and you need to re-boot your iPad ... loosing any changed you make. I have submitted several problem reports that have been acknowledged and confirmed but they have still not been fixed weeks later. This used to be a very reliable and useful application for me as a Delivery Skipper moving from vessel to vessel, but Version 5 is rubbish and should be backed out until all the introduced problems have been fixed..Version: 5.0.2
✓ I want my money back!Charge £5 to download app then once inside it’s another £95 for the chart! What a con..Version: 5.5.6
✓ Current version less stable than previous versionsThis used to be the best navigation app and was superior in many ways to other apps and also to dedicated gps instruments and chart plotters. Current versions, even on the latest hardware and IOS, seem to be less stable and this is an issue for a mission critical piece of software. The app has certainly improved map display and revenue collection for maps and weather services but at the expense of the user and the steadfast dependability of previous versions. Whilst the app was probably never intended to be used as a primary or backup tool for navigation, a 2011 installation on an ipad has proved far more reliable than two dedicated gps plotters from a well known manufacturer, both of which have suffered from software glitches and other failures during navigation. An updated installation of iNavx in 2017 required to continue with weather services crashed during use and refused to display a map in the course of navigation. Previously the app would show a message when the chart was out of subscription. An updated version installed on a new iphone has also shown stability issues. This is a great shame as until recently the app was undoubtedly 5 star and exceeded dedicated gps equipment in reliability and all other navigation apps and software in features and ease of use..Version: 5.0.9
✓ Pretty averageBe careful what you are buying with this app - for the initial purchase price you only get the bare app - you then have to buy maps and weather on top - I wouldn’t recommend it unless you are prepared to invest heavily.Version: 5.5.6
✓ Waste of moneyYou pay for the app and the you need to pay again to get the data from navitronics... Useless..Version: 5.5.6
✓ I don't need the huge bundle that includes croatiaBought this for preparing a week sailing in Croatia. I should have checked the available charts first. The only choice for the Adriatic is the bundle including the whole of the Med, black Sea and Adriatic for a cool £83 in app. So don't buy for a week charter in that area..Version: 5.0.9
✓ Complete con jobThe area covered which includes areas of the USA is not mentioned until further into the description. If, like me you require charts covering UK & Mediterranean you have to pay a subscription to obtain further charts. Please refund...Version: 5.5.6
✓ Poor supportThey take your money via auto subscription and then disappear. I can no longer access my charts and can not get a reply to emails. Don't touch this product!!!.Version: 5.2
✓ Big price rises for Navionics chartsThis is still a favourite navigation app but I will be looking elsewhere as there have been big price rises for Navionics charts. Could be as a result Navionics being bought by Garmin, a company not known for their generosity..Version: 5.5.2
✓ Don’t waste your moneyIt’s slow to respond, not intuitive. There’s way better stuff out there like Aquamaps and Navionics..Version: 5.6.10
✓ Terribly slow and outdated graphicsExpected much more, within 10 mnts I decided that this up needs way updating in terms of graphics and UI. Disappointed! Refund requested..Version: 5.6.17
✓ This is not the navionics appI bought the iNavx app thinking it was the navionics app. I paid for the app and the £55 subscription for Uk maps, as that is the only way to test the app given there is no trial. To then realize that there is no current overlay on the map like i wanted from the navionics app. I only bought the app and this subscription an hour ago but it says there is no refunds. I suggest you go and check the free trial of the navionics app before buying this..Version: 5.5.6
✓ GarbageVery limited info for Canadian West Coast;get Marine BC instead, it won't you off by hiding limitations. You have to pay mega bucks for each Canadian chart..Version: 3.2.1
✓ Maps extra and expensiveNot impressed raster based scanned charts and Canadian west coast charts $169 each. Like an earlier reviewer wish I could get my money back. I then purchased Navionics app way better, vector maps and full data coverage of Canada at no additional charge..Version: 3.2.5
✓ You are downloading Trial and SUBSCRIPTION ONLY maps!For any detailed plus LOCALISED Maps you have to pay to acquire them, for the region(s) applicable for you. Plus at quite an expensive price. Ontop of that, they are SUBSCRIPTION ONLY, so every year you’ll have to pay again and again for continued access to those maps! None of this is explained or clear when you look at the details of this App in the Store prior to downloading it..Version: 5.5.6
✓ BCImpressive but expensive. Navionics at $9.99 is just as good.Version: 0
✓ No use until you pay for mapsI don’t think this is particularly clear, if you are not in US this has no functionality until you pay a yearly subscription for my maps. In the UK this is £60 a year which is in my opinion way too expensive. The last chart app I downloaded on my old tablet had all the maps include in a set price with no subscription..Version: 5.5.6
✓ Good: hi-rez maps. Bad: user interfaceI like how I can download free hi-rez maps without a subscription. What I can’t deal with is the user interface. It’s difficult to download maps, switch between maps, and I don’t know why the + and - symbols on a map attempt to do things other than zoom in/out, which is pretty much a standard convention for map apps. I prefer the UI of Navionics app. It’s way more intuitive..Version: 5.5.6
✓ Time to changeAfter 9 years and 25,000 nautical miles, I am sadly having to say goodbye to this app. Although there have been new features over that time, there has been no change to some of the really user unfriendly aspects of its basic use. For example entering a lat or lon by scrolling through 999 possible options for decimal minutes?! Over the last few years it has started to crash about 30% of the time when being restored from the background. So if you are entering a harbour, check the tide on another app, and come back to iNavX you often lose your position, and it then takes no less than 5 taps to restore your NMEA connection. This is annoying but also unsafe. I'm moving on to something different..Version: 5.6.9
✓ Better out thereThis app has a slow and cumbersome interface. Difficult to use and very unresponsive to gestures. I have found it frustrating to use. Subsequently, I now use a competitor's product..Version: 3.6.6
✓ Waste of moneyThe app is useless unless you subscribe to the charts. $149.99 yearly fee for a single chart..Version: 5.6.6
✓ Terrible appSuch a waste of money. After navigating through the ridiculously complicated way you have to buy the x-traverse maps on top of the app price by going to some website and being given lots of options you don't understand then you will find you have been sold a very poor app for a very high price. It doesn't do much other than display your position on a zoomable chart that you have had to buy on top. If you want to study the chart of where you are going today you gave about ten seconds before the app repositions you at your current position. Couldn't find a setting to turn this off and it should be something you choose to do anyway. Very basic and there are better cheaper apps..Version: 4.5.0
✓ Great app needs more competitive UK chart optionsHave been using iNavX on iPad for years and it has been invaluable on our cross channel and UK circumnavigation trips. The iPhone version is less compelling due to uk chart options. The UK chart options are seriously uncompetitive. I like Navionics+ charts and am prepared to pay a premium for them but having to pay twice to use them on iPad and iPhone is too much. An extra £54 for iPhone access to what I already have is nuts when the standalone navionics app including the charts is cheaper. Over the years I would have liked to see the iNavX team incorporate more UK chart options to break this navionics monopoly, and open things up a bit with other chart standards that can work across multiple platforms including OpenCPN such as oeSENC or S-63. Maybe one day, then this would be a 5* review..Version: 5.5.6
✓ Rubbish appWhat a waist of money ! Only works around USA and doesn’t state that it isn’t useful in the rest of the world..Version: 5.5.6
✓ Not for AustraliaIf wanting to use in Australia you have to buy charts which are navionics for $50 +.Version: 5.5.3
✓ Canadians Beware!Add $200 for Van Isle east side. And another $200 for VI west side. North to Rupert another sackful. Coulda bought a bigger boat!!.Version: 4.0.3
✓ It USED to work...There was a time that this was, hands down, the best app available for iOS. The originator, Richard Ray, worked pretty much non-stop on the app to make sure it was the beat it could be. Sure, there might be an occasional glitch. But it ALWAYS ran and did the job. Today, I can’t even get it to load, without crashing. I even bought a new 256GB iPhone 8, thinking it might help. And it did for a couple of days... until the next “upgrade”. Now I’m back to the same old thing... crash, Crash, CRASH!!!.Version: 5.1.1
✓ Clunky U/ISpin wheels are frustrating to use for inputting latitude and longitude for waypoints. Why can’t this be done using a number pad?.Version: 5.5.10
✓ AustraliaExspensive for Australia much better options information misleading difficult to remove app.Version: 5.5.6
✓ FrustratingI want to love this app because it provides access to NOAA raster charts. I like the simple interface and obviously the portability, as well as iPad and iPhone support. As a navigation tool it should never interrupt or distract the user with irrelevant information, and unfortunately now it does. I would happily give it five stars if it: 1) removed the pop up ads and “tell us what you think!” surveys. 2) improved chart switching. Right now it takes far too many taps to locate adjacent charts or charts at different scales. You have to slog through the entire chart library to find charts you already have, and the search function doesn’t seem to work with chart numbers. 3) improved lat/lon coordinate entry. Scrolling through every degree/minute second is tedious and should be replaced with direct entry. I want to use this app but find I use Transas iSailor instead...much more complex but more purposefully designed..Version: 5.2
✓ Only see us charts 😂Wasted money as store does not list usable charts.Version: 5.6.6
✓ You have to pay AU$8 for nothing.You have to pay AU$8 for nothing. Every feature in the app has another price. So the app should be free and charge only for what you wanna..Version: 5.5.10
✓ No maps for AustraliaI bought this app and the required Australian map back in 2011 only to later have the map change to a subscription service. Now, there are no maps available for Australia at all, so don't waste your money..Version: 5.0.5
✓ Maps are extra outside USAProbably my fault - had heard Navionics is good - saw $8.99 and thought - great $9 - then find out it’s $63 for the NZ Chart - there are US charts but I bought this on the NZ App Store so my sense is that it’s a bit of a con in marketing. $9 lost but I know to be a wee bit more careful..Version: 5.6.1
✓ Don't botherIf you are a recreational boatie in Australia, don't waste your money and time with this. I was looking for a quality alternative to the Navionics ap. The only charts available for Australia that can be used with inavx appear to be the Navionics charts for a $140 pa subscription. You seem to be paying for a comprehensive instruments overlay that is very complex and way over the top for local pleasure cruising. I am not a fan of the Navionics ap, but it at least allows you to easily navigate at a reasonable price point..Version: 5.5.1
✓ Horrible appThis is perhaps the worse app for navigation available. User interface is childish and cludgy. For example, try to find Tuvalu on the chart. Map has hard stops rather than smooth scrolling. If your a tourist on a boat cruising one of the well beaten party holes, perhaps this is ok. If your cruising remote spots in South Pacific…forget it. Developers took the concept of ease of use and threw it out the door. Just to note, not only have I sailed for over 50 years, I was also an app developer for 20+ years..Version: 5.5.10
✓ RegionalThe detail for the BC gulf island coast is not as detailed as it could be..Version: 3.2.1
✓ Useless unless your iPad had gpsIPads without sims don’t have gps. Without that this app is useless.Version: 5.6.14
✓ Total and utter rubbishComplete waste of money. It’s just a portal in which to view other charts (which you have to pay for). May as well use the free Navionics app and then pay for their charts (or whatever chart provider is your favorite). I have never wanted an instant refund on an app purchase until now. Alas I’m locked in now....Version: 5.5.6
✓ Absolute ScammersAll Inavx cares about is taking your money, once that happens good luck if your charts are there let alone working. Example of Inavx ripoff, CMap global charts only work over the Internet and this is not stated anywhere they just want your money, might as well use google earth.Version: 5.6.4
✓ Crap!Absolutely the worst interface ever, could it be more difficult to install a subscription... no, Could there possibly be more endless loops .... No.... Perhaps they should dedicate some time to the app being more user friendly, Just wow! Gman.Version: 5.5.6
✓ Stay clear of this App outside of the U.S.Unless you remain inside of U.S. waters it is very difficult to get additional maps. In addition the charts are ridiculously expensive. You will need to set up a seperate account at another website, TraverseX or Navioncs to download additional charts. It is easier to just purchase Navionics from the start. What a waste of money this app is. I tried to get a refund like you would at a retail shop but this app is “Not available for Refund” Very disappointing!.Version: 4.7.1
✓ PointlessPaid £5 for the chance to buy the real product for £84.. thanks for nothing, which is exactly what you get.Version: 5.5.6
✓ Just terrible.The least intuitive of any navigation app I have ever used. Forces you to select one chart at a time. And when you get to the edge of that map it just stops. You have to know which map to select next from a list of maps. Like I was using a stack of paper maps. Clunky and archaic. Incredibly frustrating to use. Scrolling along should automatically take you from map to map. Zooming in and out should not require me to select a map. The app has no smarts. For folks that have memorized all the charts I’m sure this is just great. But for me, it is unusable..Version: 5.5.6
✓ Very unhappyThis application does not work on iPad Pro using Navionics charts. Do not download it if that's how you are planning to use it otherwise it crashes constantly after 5 minutes use. Unusable as an application until this is fixed- very disappointing. A total lemon in fact. No updates from an initial "we are trying to fix it" from the support email..Version: 5.0.9
✓ Crash city.Update: Got helpful support but I'm no further ahead. The solution to the crashing was to delete and reinstall the app, but that meant I lost the Canadian charts that I paid for. Now if I want to use this app I have to repurchase the charts and hope it doesn't happen again. Makes sense, right? Navionics FTW. I want to use it because it will display Nmea 2000 data. That would be great. But it crashes. All. The. Time. On my iPhone and my iPad. Over years of updates. Even when it works, the interface for plotting routes is very user-hostile. Do yourself a favor and get Navionics instead. It just keeps getting better. INavx just can't seem to get it right..Version: 5.0.5
✓ Abuse of notificationsI had iNavx on my phone for a sailing trip. I tried using the app, but couldn’t get through the complexity and stuck with Navionics I had notifications enabled and just received an in-pho e notification, that was a prompt to purchase. IMO, this is an abuse of notifications to see me something, rather than provide navigation notifications. If iNavx can’t find the balance of desires and complexity, and will abuse notifications for sales, I don’t believe they have the right customer value focus.Version: 5.6.22
✓ Not the same appI have used this app for years but in its current form, where you need to download small areas of chart individually, it is very poor. If you have a previous version, don’t bother updating it, you’ll only be disappointed. It seems they lost their licensing for Navionics and are now using a much inferior C-map chart system.Version: 5.6.6
✓ Misleading and no use to meI paid for this app thinking I would be able to see all the charts I needed to fish in the uk waters - but I have to pay an additional £56 to get the navionics charts. This has made this app redundant immediately as I can download the navionics app for free if I want to pay the same for the charts. The charts available are no good to me. Sorry guys please can I get a refund - this is not what I thought I was buying..Version: 5.5.6
✓ Not practical, needs workI bought it on sale for $5. You get what you pay for on this app for sure. Don’t understand all the hype. Downloading charts is second rate. You either have to download a very large area, e.g. USA East, or painstakingly select one chart at a time, after having to constantly get into download mode and scrolling through all the charts. Could easily be solved by allowing the user to randomly select different charts at one time once in the download section. Then since the char5s do t automatically scroll you have to pick a chart to use. Not smooth and seamless. Going back to Navionics or I may try the $8 Nautical, which allows better downloads and automatic scrolling of charts..Version: 5.5.4
✓ NO MAPSI thought I was getting charts for Australia at least, and I spent money and got nothing, what a waste of money and time..Version: 5.5.6
✓ ImpracticalI really wanted this to work but unfortunately it is not a practical solution. I’m a full time cruiser on a sailboat, we do both coastal voyages and long open ocean passages. I was very excited about this app and dumped way too much money into various electronic charts. With the latest version, the app now runs in the background and constantly uses Location Services. It kills the battery of my iPad forcing frequent recharges, not realistic on a boat. I contacted Support and the only thing they suggest is to force quit the app every time you put down the iPad. That means every time you need a chart, you first have to reopen the app and wait for it to load — which unfortunately takes ~45 seconds with all the charts I have downloaded (on a brand new iPad Pro). Again, not realistic in the real world. Worst of all is the attitude I got from Support. You’d think I was asking for something unreasonable to have a working app after spending $200 bucks on charts. If you’re looking at this app, I would go with Navionics instead until the background Location is fixed..Version: 5.2

✓ I don’t get it 🤷♂️For me, electronic maps need to be iPhone/iPad friendly. I don’t need a duplication of paper maps. I need navigation aides and directions, etc. I don’t think this app hits any markers Inhave🤷♂️ it is just paper maps on the iPhone. Either I am too stupid to figure out how to use it or it is in-intuitive. To be real, what I want on my electronic device is a maritime version of google maps. Ie: 1- download app, need some maps. Okay, select charts, west coast, entire west coast. Select download, part way through informed that one of the maps is no longer available- process stops. Okay, download individual maps, ouch - that is painful. This process is untenable!!! 2- Zooming out requires you to name the map you want to zoom out too- Ug! I am definitely not the target audience. I have a book and a chart folder for my charts. I am looking for the next level of navigation not ancient mariners charts. If someone wanted to convince me otherwise I would love to see why this app is otherwise useful..Version: 5.6.22
✓ FrustratingEach time I have downloaded an update recently it has deleted my charts. I am cruising and downloading them again costs me time and money. I love the program, but one day the charts aren't going to be there when need them..Version: 5.0.7
✓ Okay but not user friendlyWhile the app has a decent number of features the chart function is extremely not intuitive. The fact that every chart must be downloaded separately (around 8 for the Jacksonville, FL area alone), and swapping between charts in small area is difficult at best, is a very significant hindrance to this app. As a long time user of iPad aviation Apps like Foreflight, I expected marina nav apps to be similar. I may switch to Navionics, I've been told they download a more global chart..Version: 5.2
✓ Are Zed GSave your money as this app is useless. What a waste of time and my cash..Version: 5.5.6
✓ JohnWast of money only US maps I am in the UK.Version: 5.5.6
✓ App constantly loses map base.Each time I try to use this app, it says it needs to reload all the N6 maps and the x-traverse system is almost hopelessly complex... It always wants me to repurchase and renew some subscription or whatever. When it works it great but I never can get it to work and there's no helpline to correct it. Plus it cost a lot of money initially and they need more money every time I try to restart the app. Help... As of today 9-3-21 all Navionics N6 Charts have disappeared with no apparent way to reload the charts. App is useless with no charts. I don’t need charts for Norway as I’m in Minnesota… Looks like Navionics and others are no longer available in INavX? App is empty now and not useable! Still same lack of Lakemapping in Midwest. I had hoped they would establish a connection to one of the many lake map or typical fishing maps useful in Minnesota, but that hasn’t happened I guess… That makes this really nice app useless for inland navigation. It was great but I’m not able to use any of the new maps that other offer such as C-Map or Navionics. Please offer Minnesota maps? B.Version: 5.6.28
✓ Would be 5 stars except for payment issuesEvery single time I upgrade the OS on my iPhone or get a new phone this app decides I need to DL my charts again. This would be fine but unless you have a current (paid) subscription to x-traverse then you are screwed. Also if a new chart has been issued … it won’t let you DL the one you already paid for … no you have to pay for the new one. And don’t think that just because you did a full backup and restore of your phone that this will work either. It never “just works” after a restore. Great app but the backend to make charts works is horrible!.Version: 4.1.4
✓ Old bugs never fixedIn general, this is a pretty good app, but the evidence is that the author is not interested in fixing bugs. I have reported 2 bugs over 2 years ago with no results. First, exporting routes via email results in an invalid .gpx file. Specifically, the latitude specification sometimes does not contain the decimal point. Several times I have provided examples of the invalid files. As a software engineer, I know this should be easy to identify and fix. After more than 2 years, it has not. Second, iNavX often gets confused about what NOAA charts are available for the San Francisco Bay. NOAA has replaced some of the old charts. When the complete set of NOAA raster charts is downloaded for the West Coast, the names of replaced charts are still displayed, but it appears that they are not currently downloaded. When iNavX zooms in/out on the area that the deleted chart used to cover, it gets very confused and locks up. Again, I reported this about 2 years ago. It is still happening. It’s too bad. Fixing a few problems would make this an excellent application..Version: 5.5.6
✓ Overpriced crapWay too expensive and you have to continue to pay. Lost my charts and went to re download only to find I had to pay again just to get the charts I had already bought. Must continue to pay an expensive subscription fee annually. You don't get to keep the charts you buy as backup on your computer...total rip off. DON'T BUY THIS APP.Version: 3.5.1
✓ This app is completely uselessThis app is completely useless.Version: 5.5.10
✓ Very disappointedI purchased a years subscription last November. Every time I go out for a cruise the battery on my iPhone gets sucked dry, in airplane mode! Wrote the company and their response was “Your one comment about the battery life may be remedied by the actually quitting iNavX rather than just putting it in the background.” It’s only when I am using it!!! There are other apps out there. This isn’t worth the money!!.Version: 5.5.9
✓ Usa onlyTrying to get money back....not sure how as yet. This comes with maps if you are in the USA. I live in australia and it costs another $70 to get maps. Makes this a very expensive app. Not happy.Version: 3.7.1
✓ PAs bon pour le CanadaIl y a rien pour le Québec très dessus d’avoir dépenser pour sa.Version: 5.5.6
✓ Charts are not linkedI find that having to load and switch back and forth from chart to chart is not seemless enough. I used "Charts" app on the iPhone 5 but had to go with a new app with the iPhone 7 IOS 11. I recently went to the Bahamas and there were no NOA Charts of any detailed scale. I'll continue to try this out for around the chesapeake bay as it looks like it will work OK for that even thought I have to constantaly change charts manually from one scale to the next..Version: 5.1.1
✓ Un-User FriendlyThis is the most un-user friendly app I ever downloaded. I’m going to uninstall this app and forget about it. I wasted $5, not a big deal. This company really needs to work on getting the app up in running when you log in for the first time. I don’t mind buying maps but I am hesitant to go any deeper into the map purchasing. When you download Navonics your up and running instantly. I’ve had two other people in my office trying to figure this app out with no success. I’m sure it works great once your up and running but I am throughly frustrated at this point. I seen the great reviews which made me take a chance but now I’m believing the reviews are a fraud. I run Furuno navigation on my 31 Hydra-sport and I figure this would have been a nice back-up but I was wrong. I wish I used the $5 on a Cheap Cigar!.Version: 5.5.6
✓ RubbishNo labels on the map. Can’t get Britain or Ireland.Version: 5.6.3
✓ No chart quiltingThe lack of chart quilting & need to constantly go back to the list of charts to keep the view current as you travel, is a huge issue. Other apps are much more useful in real use..Version: 5.1.2
✓ Worst chart plotting app everI have never written an app review (positive or negative) but felt compelled to do so for this. I have been using Navionics for the past four years and thought I would give iNavX a try. Navionics blows this out of the water. App feels like it was developed in 2008 (which it may well have been) and never updated. You have to purchase overpriced subscriptions (maps, weather, AIS...) to do things that other apps can do better, and for a fraction of the cost. Have requested a refund from Apple for the app, unfortunately I am stuck with the first years worth of non-refundable subscriptions (purchased in the hope of getting the app delivering at least a modicum of value) that I will never use. Hugely disappointed..Version: 5.2
✓ Abysmal waste of moneyThis app highlights why it is not worth risking paying anything more than a small amount for an app you cannot try first. The interface is counter intuitive and regularly stops responding altogether. At which point the display of the chart also fails and is replaced with an empty grid. This requires the app is restarted to resume navigation. I wish there was a mechanism to get a refund..Version: 5.1.1
