I-Boating: Marine Charts & Gps for Positive User Reviews

Best navigation appThis is my go-to navigation app. I have about 5 on my phone including my Garmin one. This is literally the best app by far - you can plan, save and review routes. I’ve found that the depth measurements are very accurate too when I compare them to my depth sounder readings..Version: 125.0.0

Following my boat on the mapIt would be advantageous as we are going along following the the gps map that the approximate depth was showed magnified Thank you.Version: 112.0.0

ExcellentI’ve been using this app for a few weeks in shore/near shore. I have a separate depth/fish finder, but I wanted a nav tool. This app has FULLY exceeded & surpassed my expectations. A small in app purchase covers way more map than I’ll ever need. And I can download large “tiles” (as the app easily directs me) so I can have the navigation map when I don’t have cell service. The channel markings and general data are spot on. I highly recommend this app for anyone..Version: 99.0.0

I like itIt is working.Version: 125.0.0

Professional Level Navigation AppI have been using this app for nearly three years now for professional work on yachts and it has yet to fail me. As with all navigation, I strongly advise users have two different and independent devices running this same app. I, for example, use an iPad Air 2 and an iPhone 7, and for positioning information I use a Garmin GLO and a Bad Elf 2200 GPS signal receiver. The Garmin GLO has temporarily shut down in the past, so it is essential to have the other device running especially when operating in hazardous areas like busy channels, near shoals or barely submerged hazards such as wrecks or isolated rocks. The main improvement I would recommend to Bist LLC at this time would be to offer an in-app purchase cruising guide feature that would enable the user to access critical information about facilities (such as good phone numbers, radio channels etc) by virtue of simply touching the facility name on the current ECS. In the event of emergencies, be they weather or mechanical etc, it would be extremely useful to be able to immediately find the phone number or radio contact information for potential landing sites like marinas..Version: 85.0.0

Very good starting pointDoes its job very well to start a plan..Version: 71.0.0

Incredible valueFull fledged chartplotter with offical ENC charts. Amazing..Version: 99.0.0

Easy asGreat for beginners not to complicated this is my second download and it is even better than the first..Version: 112.0.0

So far so goodEnjoying the features and still learning.Version: 121.0.0

Very handy guide for a river / estuary going cruising dinghy.I have yet to determine compass / heading accuracy . There seems to be a discrepancy in the indicated heading created by the route planner and an Imray /Admiralty chart. Preliminary tests aboard a motor cruiser seem to be there or there a-bouts but Motor Cruisers don’t rely on the wind for power, obviously. With the combined use of a good old fashioned compass, good planing with traditional paper chart and the convenience of a talking route map gives me multiple points of reference. Best part is I can plan my estimated tacks by heading and distance according to predicted wind direction whilst allowing for variance, backing and veering. Just listen to the voice prompts then tack on to the new heading. Multiple potential scenarios can be pre-planned and shared across my portable devices including my non cellular iPads. An onboard 4G mini wifi keeps me in touch with the GPS function. Bottom line for me is that I feel that it is unwise to rely on one type of media. My Garmin GPS 78s Chart plotter is a piece of over priced cat crap with no compatible interface with desk top software. Not to mention the cost of maps that you need a microscope to see. This app gives me good flexibility and pretty accurate map folio for a very reasonable price. It suits my needs for cruising up and down the river Medway and Thames estuary. Good for a dinghy, then good for a yacht or motor cruiser..Version: 85.0.0

FaultDepth colours aren’t what I am used to. Would be good to be able to customise them. Gps location is out a lot.Also when I purchased the app I thought that was a once off. Now I am strictly offline and need to upgrade which is purchasing the app again.Version: 124.0.0

Worth the moneyThis app along a depth finder is all you need for safe boating / finding fishing spots. I recommend this 100%.Version: 124.0.0

I like the app but the update feels like extortionI really do like this app and would have rated it higher if it wasn’t asking me to pay ANOTHER $20 for the update. I bought the app last year for $22 including tax. It’s the most I’ve ever paid for an app. It kind of goes against the grain for me because so many apps I’ve had in the past and relied on have either been bought by another developer or have ceased to exist. So to come back a year later and require I purchase it again just to keep using it is a hard pill to swallow! I can understand the cost of the map update but to stop the functions of my already purchased map to me is truly unfair. Sure I can navigate using existing routes I created but not allowing me to edit or create new routes using my existing map that I already paid for is not right. Seems like extortion to me. For this reason I don’t want to pay for an update..Version: 87.0.0

Not badAll of the Bathymetric maps are good. The interesting part is the space around the Maps; unless I am missing it there is no base layer map of the land associated with it, which make searching a bit tougher but doable. Also I’m left to wonder how many bodies of water have been mapped, and if so are all of those on here. I live in an area that has quite a few lakes around it but it seems like there’s some that are missing, although I don’t know if it is an issue from these ever been mapped. i’ve only use this product so I can’t compare it against others..Version: 126.0.0

Very good gps for navigationI used it to go to 1000 islands and it was very easy and comfortable to use..Version: 134.0.0

Lake mapsDecent app to have if you boat on inland lakes for fishing or skiing. Maps have a lot of detail and work well with gps. Edit: I contacted them two weeks back regarding navigation buoys for Clear lake. I was pleasantly surprised to see an email from tech support regarding an update this morning that Clear lake map has been updated with all ATON markers. Upon update I do see all hazard buoys, lighted navigation buoys on the map. I have used the app gps on the lake and it’s very accurate. It’s even more useful with the buoy update..Version: 124.0.0

A great fishing friend!Found this app when I was looking for a fish finder application. I recently moved down the coast from Sydney to Melbourne and was looking for a great fishing spot. I found a place called Mud Island in the middle of Port Phillip Bay and this app was of great help when navigating through the obstacle course that is the Bay (forts, shallows, reefs, rocks, buoys, tides and currents). Think Google Maps for the water. Highly recommended!.Version: 56.0.0

Maps does not download: error messageI just got this app and when you tap the map to download- it gives an error message. I would eventually like to purchase if it works- but I will not be willing to risk paying for $20 bucks and it doesn’t work. Update: I contacted support on a weekend and they responded back within hours and gave me instruction on how to download the map. And it works!!!! Now I’m a satisfied customer. Will be trying the app out on the boat this weekend. So far, as I am reviewing it, it looks detailed and very useful. If it is what it set out to be, I will be purchasing this app..Version: 71.0.0

Great app!Prompt customer support. We were having trouble with GPS. Thanks to timely response from tech supp the issue was resolved..Version: 66.0.0

Higher level of detail than other apps.The app has a higher level of detail particularly in remote areas. Great app- Don.Version: 85.0.0

Perfect for what I neededFinally got to use this for what I intended it for. Just returned from 4 days fishing in the west coast of Vancouver Island. The loaded charts in my Garmin fishfinder/GPS don’t cover the area. Rather than spend the bucks on the chart package for the GPS that I’ll only use once a year I opted for this app. It worked perfectly and had all the functionality I needed. I used it right off my iPhone and it kept me dialed in and on course. Based on visual surroundings, paper charts, and depth sounder, it seemed to be very accurate..Version: 87.0.0

Good app.Seems good so far..Version: 71.0.0

Really helpfulStarted using it as a backup but by the end of our journey I used it as my primary navigation..Version: 85.0.0

Great appVery comprehensive chart , easy to use for planning southern uk trips.Version: 71.0.0

Worth every centThis app is must for any serious fishermen. Easy to use, excellent tech support. You won't be disappointed..Version: 60.0.0

Great app but £28 bit steepGreat app but I would have definitely bought the full version if wasn't so steep.Version: 71.0.0

VERY GOODI only give 5 stars when something is amazingly good. That said, this app is VERY GOOD. Basically, nothing comes close for the money considering subscription prices to data. For my needs (21’ sailboat on lakes -including the Great Lakes) this pretty much covers it. The coverage of smaller Midwestern lakes is excellent. Customer service is also VERY GOOD. I had a minor issue and it was well taken care of. Look forward to a lot of boating with this app. May update after I have more experience with it..Version: 108.0.0

Recommended!!I recommend this app to anyone looking for a primary or a secondary gps chart plotter. Purchased the US version a few years back for kayak and shoreline fishing in the Tampa Bay Area. Although I have been reduced to the free version after being unable to restore my iCloud when changing phones, I finally bought myself a small boat and got to use iBoating to find a wreck today. The gps was spot on with this parted iPhone5. No bottom finder test but we were catching fish as soon as we dropped a bait on the sunken sailboat. I will be soon to make the commitment to get the most out of what iBoating has to offer. If they sent me a shirt and a sticker I would represent this company just like I do for other respectable companies. The team at iBoating have done a great job on this application..Version: 90.0.0

Life saver!Not an avid boater, mostly go out on the weekend at my near by inland lake. Decided to go out on Lake Huron. Knowing that the part of the lake we would be on was notorious for random shoals. Rather than spend hundreds of dollars on equipment I came across this app. It’s a really good thing that I did because I am absolutely positive I would have unknowingly ran up on a reef 2 miles off the coast. Thank you for the app. 6 stars if possible.Version: 134.0.0

First time user of a Nav appI’m a first time user of navigation app on the water. Wanted to take a trip down to St. Michael’s but was a little unsure of how to get there. Found this app by accident and thought I’d give it a try for $15 bucks. Wow, what a great investment. I’m not a tech person by any stretch of the imagination but it was so easy to follow. The auto routing feature was fantastic. And to be able to see exactly where you are and where you’re going made the trip this past weekend so enjoyable and stress free. Would highly recommend. Great deal and easy to use! Really like the record feature to save it for the future when we do it again. Now I’m eager to go more places on the water I haven’t been to before Thanks, David P.Version: 136.0.0

OutstandingA game-changing app for navigation and fishing.Version: 137.0.0

MapsI haven’t purchased any maps yet. However the free map is definitely good as a back option. Like it..Version: 91.0.0

Excellent service after having problemA développer answer and solve our location problem.Version: 124.0.0

Great Map Detail but hidden searchI really like looking at bathymetric maps and this app includes awesome detail for lake maps across the country. However, the interface feels like it was designed for my original iPad from 2011. It’s hard to find things like search, if you want to find a specific lake, and other tools are hard to access. I use the lite version because I will not use this as a real-time navigation tool, but I imagine for anyone who was doing that, these annoyances would be much more consequential..Version: 115.0.0

Excellent AppVery user friendly app with great features where users can easily plan their trips. Excellent work. Well done i- Boating..Version: 71.0.0

Nice AppVery useful information within 👍.Version: 137.0.0

Offline charting and lake mapsThis is a very good app if you are looking for nautical charts to work fully offline. Worked very well this season in the Keys for us. It’s very easy to download all charts using the grid and see if it’s downloaded or not. GPS works very without internet or cellular signal . Clearly shows where we are and where our boat is headed. As a plus it includes complimentary access to all lake charts with HD contours. That was a good deal for us since we often go fishing inland waters. Thanks for adding Wilamette river charts south of the Ash island. I have always wanted to explore that part of the river. Now I can do it more confidently..Version: 129.0.0

You couldnt ask for any betterThis app is really good. The information on bodies of water is amazing. The people are even better. If you have a problem with the app, contact them and they almost literally fix the issue as you are telling them about your problem. I was abit leery about the purchase price at first. After having it for a couple days.... i would have payed double what they charged had i known it would be like this beforehand..Version: 71.0.0

Best boat navigational app available for your basic userI use this app very often for navigating my boat in different lakes and waterways it works perfectly and gives you all the information you may possibly need very happy with the fact that you can get tide charts you can get weather and you can get wonderful navigational aids to help you so you don't end up on the rocks. I give this app a rating of five stars.Version: 126.0.0

Coastal tripBrillant used this app to sail up the coast from Wellington Nz to Tauranga Nz As good as any marine instruments on board.Version: 102.0.0

Boat Safety Officer, Mohave County Sheriffs OfficeAll of us here have tried several different applications for the purpose of navigating our lake and river, but especially for night operations as with the surrounding mountains on certain nights no Horizon is available and so you have to operate by braille at times as it is just so dark. I have been experimenting with your app now for about three weeks and I must say that it is the most user-friendly most accurate and provides the most abundant resources for this purpose. We are based on an Lake Havasu City an Arizona on the Colorado river and I think we have just under 50 miles of shoreline in our lake. The detail we find with your maps and depth information is remarkably accurate. Thank you very much for the zoning such a great asset.Version: 103.0.0

It’s all I useBest app to sale in the Great Lakes.Version: 136.0.0

Great app for the casual CaptainI bought this app after hitting a rock in our bow rider in an unfamiliar lake at a cottage we rented this summer. Just a little bump, but it was enough to scare the crap out of me to invest in the mapping system so I can confidently navigate the waters. Highly recommend for the Casual Captain that doesn’t need a full gps system on their vessel.Version: 136.0.0

Needed an app for last min ocean ventureThis app saved me, especially with the offline map(s) from getting lost in some fairly large water ways, needed something last minute that worked offline as we had 0 signal where we were going. We pre routed off this app using it’s offline mapping, and it got us to everywhere we needed to go to safely, without needing cell signal..Version: 126.0.0

Great app, works very wellThere's still many functions that I'm not using, packed with features and easy to use!.Version: 71.0.0

Fishing pointsIt’s like having a large compendium of lake depth sonar maps. Most of them have an amazing level of detail. It’s very easy to eyeball where the flats are located, where the underwater islands are, where the ditches are, where the underwater valley runs through. This information is really helpful in figuring out where the fish might be hiding. Whenever fishing a new lake or a lake I am not familiar with, I use it to mark potential fishing spots. The large lakes even have all the brush piles, PVC etc clearly marked. I would suggest overlaying all this info over Apple or Google maps. Apple Maps have more info on restaurants and businesses close to the lake. Edit: I did update the background map to street maps. It’s very useful. Overlay atop satellite imagery also works well. Found quite few useful options under settings. Still playing with the advanced settings. Will update more once I have had a chance to try them out..Version: 120.0.0

So far sooo good!Downloaded the app onto my iPad Pro along with my one free sample chart. It worked great. I’m using it for navigation on my sailboat. I’ve now (paid for) downloaded several charts all of which have worked well. I did run into a problem with a GPS error message (wouldn’t fix my position) while pre-plotting a route. I sent a message to the developer about it and had a response the same day. Turned out to be a system setting and the problem was rectified in short order..Version: 71.0.0

Marine and lake GPSI’ve used this marine charting program a few times on both the coast as well as inland lakes. It’s one of the few apps on my phone that includes excellent ENC charts for both offshore and inland navigation. Works very well with phones GPS even when outside of cellular coverage. Clearly shows where my boat is, how it got there and where it’s headed. I used to have this app as a backup to our onboard plotter. But I keep coming back to it since maps are more detailed and I am able to pull all the data from our boats NMEA network onto the app. Will post more updates as I investigate it’s more advanced toolset. Update: after 100s of miles and an year I find this app pretty reliable and useful. It keeps getting regular updates. Tide and currents plus wind overlay have been very useful. One thing I would recommend adding is support for auto routing. Aug21: Got an email from their tech support today to try out automatic routing in the application. Have been playing with it and it seems to work okay. I had to adjust the min depth to get the route I wanted. Definitely a good route planning aid. Edit: The latest update is very useful if you cruise the Tombigbee waterway. More detailed depths and more accurate. Tried hooking up this app today with our boats Ais transceiver over Wi-Fi. It worked well and showed all AIS targets around us..Version: 129.0.0

Lake depth mapsVery user friendly app to download lake depth maps and coastal charts. GPS features including recording and moving map works very well and is very reliable. The support is very helpful and answered all the questions I had. I had asked them about a specific lake that was missing. To my pleasant surprise they contacted me today to let me know that they had added depth contours for it and it was a available for download. Update1: I’ve used it quite often in sf a yas well as Sac delta. For navigating the Sac delta I wasn’t able to identify the deep channel. The support was very helpful and suggested me to change the shallow and safety depths. Once I did that I was able to identify the deep channel. I plan to use it in Shasta next week. I am glad they cover it. Will update the review with more details next week..Version: 71.0.0

Routing has potentialI was a little hesitant to try out automatic routing when their tech support told me about it. Now that I have tried it I have to admit it’s very useful. It’s able to identify the channel and route around islands and rocks. I was impressed that when I changed the draft, it was able to identify the channel like I would have done it manually. The route changes every time I change the draft. So that seem to be working. Not sure that I would rely entirely on fully automatic. But it’s definitely a good step in the right direction..Version: 116.0.0

The reason why i get lostIs because i get people walking right up to me telling me to leave rather violently without a care to my life and its contents. If they are not doing that they are endlessly hopelessly continuously blatantly spying on me keeping tabs and dibs on me so that floats are inaccessible to me. For all i know all the personal work i did while i understood i was living in canada has been ripped away from me and i wont ever see any of that canada that i was part of ever again. I am up to my wits end against all these human rights violations against me, all this identity theft, and all of the targeted harassment. I hope i can get this map together as fast as i can because i heard the philippine has been totally robbed and it is now not what it was which is something i know very little of. So heres to the map and the biggest free platform a map can locate..Version: 138.0.0

Not yet used in angerBut great fun to play with and set routes and markers. Can’t wait to try it at the harbour!.Version: 87.0.0

MapsTrès intéressant et outils.Version: 131.0.0

SuperbI find this a great app to use for sea fishing..Version: 110.0.0

This is an excellent app.Maps are really fast and easy to use. I really love their take on object query. It makes an excellent teaching aid..Version: 51.0.0

Why buy a Raymarine?For $20, works just like the pro chart because it is pro. Love it, but wish loyal users could get a break on updated chart purchases because you have to pony up another $20 to get a updated chart after less than 2 seasons of use. Maybe give a option to turn off annoying update prompt after 2-3 uses with old chart? Hopefully you can address these issues by next chart update. Thanks!.Version: 71.0.0

Purchased for my kayakPerfect....... and looks great on an iPad mini.Version: 83.0.0

Great untilI love the app but it try’s to get you to pay for stuff as soon as you open it didn’t at first but now it is other then that would definitely recommend to any fisherman or boater.Version: 131.0.0

Useful tool.I am still finding my way around it but it shows distinct promise. The basic chart detail is in-depth which builds confidence. One more star will be given if I can find another voice to give the navigation commentary! It will provide a plotting capability to augment the paper charts..Version: 85.0.0

Great app - so easy to Plot a route and useWe used the app for the first time when sailing in Menorca … so easy to plot a route and fab that once loaded it works off GPS with no data required! Very accurate - so glad we found it!.Version: 110.0.0

Wicked app!!Was working a treat until I dropped my phone overboard.Version: 71.0.0

Great appI really like this app its very easy to use, is there an option when recording a route i can have arrows or different colours for direction? Also are there any plans for AIS ? Thanks for a fantastic app..Version: 99.0.0

Great free app for holiday useI downloaded several free apps but this one was by far the easiest to use. I quickly worked out how to plot a course and track progress, which is all I needed for short distance cruising whilst on holiday with a small boat. The free tile also covered more area than I needed so that was a great bonus. Will definitely use again on next boating holiday..Version: 71.0.0

Easy to use electronic chartsBest I know off..Version: 87.0.0

Better than the others for my area.Much better than Lakemaster chip that I have in my helix, and better than Navionics app I had on my phone for my area (central Ontario)..Version: 126.0.0

ConfusionNo instructions to fully utilize app. Selected one (1) free area to evaluate product but app keeps returning me to my present location, therefore, I could not use route planning. Do not even know how to buy the area I want. The site replied to my concerns promptly but their reply did not address my needs. The chart details are excellent but can be cluttered. Lastly, maneuvering around led me to get lost. But, perhaps this was due to the fact that the search method did not locate a prominent port for me. I believe it is an outstanding app but needs some refinement..Version: 115.0.0

FantasticVery easy to use and so far it's spot on.Version: 71.0.0

Sailing gpsWe use this app on our sailboat. Includes detailed charts covering the bay showing all depth, channel and navaids. Charts have the same look and feel as the ones on our plotter but are more recent and have a lot more detail. It’s easy to overlay wind speed and direction on the map. The app is very battery friendly. It looks like it uses GPS only in the follow mode. Route planning and studying the chart does not seem to use any battery. Aug 5 update: We recently updated the nmea 2k instrumentation on our boat. The new one has a Wi-Fi interface. Now we can stream gps and other data to all iPhones connected to our boats network. We are now able to see gps, ais and other data on all our iPhone and iPads..Version: 124.0.0

Nav toolIf you own or work in a boat, its a handy tool to have on your phone..Version: 99.0.0

Effective, cheap, easy!We boat in multiple locations from Delaware watershed and Pennsylvania lakes, to Hampton's, to Atlantic City, Virginia Beach, occasionally in Northern California... Usable simple maps, obtained as downloads after app purchase.... I have been very pleased by the ease of use, quality of tracking, and ability to download decent quality maps to remote areas as we reach them. My family agrees that excellent bang-for-buck. Having compared to standard nautical charts, is perfectly adequate for routine navigation. Wish List: - that maps could be automatically downloaded based on boater's location - automatic centering of your location... can require re-clicking in screen to re-center your location - advanced information on docking locations and communication channels imbedded in maps... But really happy I can grab my iPhone in a waterproof case and navigate almost anywhere for a couple of bucks!.Version: 71.0.0

I liked it.I’m new to these devices so bear that in mind, however...I found it very accurate on an iPad air1 and the free grid covered a lot I needed. Compared to the I Ray charts it seems very similar which is a very good thing. It took me a little while to post courses but it’s all logical. We compared results to a farming onboard, perfect..Version: 71.0.0

Looks dodgy, isn’t bad, does the jobIt’s no bad, just a bit dodgy looking, but no bad.Version: 106.0.0

Well goodI love how much you can get from this and how you can see all the markers on all the rivers. Love it.Version: 111.0.0

ExcellentTried it out for the first time last Saturday. Works better than dedicated gps. Unfortunately I had a mishap when I got back into the harbour after mooring I dropped my iPad over the side and it now lies at the bottom of the harbour. Had to buy a new one and have the app transferred ..Version: 124.0.0

Great App with lots of features!By far one of the top marine navigation apps to have. The design layout is very easy to follow. The vector charts have outstanding detail and are very easy to use. Chart folios are very reasonably priced and the grid based interface makes it very easy to download charts and verify what area exists on the device. Make sure to tap on the arrow icon at the bottom. It turns on the moving map functionality. All in all it's a great app which I would definitely use again! 5/5.Version: 71.0.0

Commercial qualityThis is an amazing app... I’m a commercial boat driver, and I use it as a back up if I ever need it... it’s as good as the gps on our commercial boat..Version: 87.0.0

Great appThanks.Version: 90.0.0

AppThis app has to be by far the best domestic boating app I’ve seen. Any info needed is all there in front of you. First class..Version: 112.0.0

Restricted to a single device…Just starting to use the app, and enjoying it so far. However, it is frustrating that the paid version is limited to only one device - you apparently cannot view the paid maps on your iPad if you’ve already registered the iPhone..Version: 134.0.0

Great for commercial fishing and wreck huntingThis app has been really handy to have as a new commercial fisherman its been brilliant for looking what ground I’m on. Plus plotting the location of my Dan’s and remember where there are. And it give you an option to record and see where you have been sailing all day. My only problem was the price little high maybe. but guessing time and money has gone into this app..Version: 82.0.0

Easy boat navigationI have been trying lots of apps to make boat navigation easier. This app meets a lot of my criteria. It’s very easy to set up for offline use. For just planning no set up is needed. Over the years I have accumulated tens of gpx files with 1000s of waypoints. I am glad that I was able to import all those files into the app. And the best part is that I didn’t have to create an account or jump through the hoops for that. I have these files as email attachments and the app was able to import them from there. Have been playing with automatic routing and it seems to work ok. Again I was able to select waypoints from existing files for routing. Still haven’t tried out the gps features. But from what I can tell it supports moving map and route follow. Will update once more I have tried out the gps. Update: I have tried out the GPS now. The phone gps is very precise and located me accurately. It clearly shows the path I’ve taken with a magenta line and a dotted line showing where I am headed. Also gave voice alerts when approaching a waypoint. Overall satisfied with GPS..Version: 116.0.0

They are fast to respondWe bought the app to use in Alaska, it is great in the salt water , but was missing some lakes we wanted on the charts, so we sent them an Email, they respond in less than 24 hours and are adding the requested lakes. I love the features and everything you need to have fun boating while still having all information is at your finger tips. I could only give it five stars, or I would have given it a 10..Version: 83.0.0

Underwater mapsCame across this app when I was researching boating apps that include charts for inland lakes and waterways. It’s one of the most comprehensive amongst all apps I have tried so far. Depth maps for rivers and lakes are included in the price. GPS integration works well even without cellular internet. Accurately shows the boat location and path. Auto routing finds a decent route. Will update more next week. The latest update works great on our boat. Shows real-time wind speed and direction right on the iPad. The recent update on fishing spots AI is very useful. Makes it easy to identify which parts of the underwater structure would be more productive for fishing..Version: 136.0.0

Great App !!One of the best !!.Version: 122.0.0

Love this Apps so much! Perfect!Awesome app. Maps are more detailed and accurate than the ones we have on our plotter. Plotting routes and recording tracks is very use. The compass divider tool is very handy..Version: 56.0.0

FishingEasy to use thanks.Version: 110.0.0

Great value appDownload this to my iPhone last year and not really used it properly but it looks great and has some useful features. Looking forward to using it to locate some inshore wrecks for fishing over..Version: 83.0.0

In depthThis app is great I’m using it in Ontario for local lakes. It seems to be on point. Or close. Super small lakes/ponds are not listed. But popular ones are. Enjoy. I have been using it for free. No cost..Version: 137.0.0

Don’t need a stand alone- use your i/phone!If for $40 you can get a gps why bother with a $700 stamd alone unit. Works for what you need to safely get scross the lake to your buddies camp..Version: 126.0.0

Structure fishingThis app makes it very easy to use structure fishing concepts to identify fishing hotspots in a lake esp if it’s a large reservoir or somewhat unfamiliar. It’s very easy to eyeball most structure including channel swings, humps, feeder creeks, sdddles etc. I was at Emerson recently for a friend’s wedding and had a chance to fish Allatoona for the first time. I used this app to study the lake to scope out where to fish. I was very happy to find that the areas I had identified were visited by two guide boats while we were there. Well worth the upgrade to find unexplored fishing spots. Nov 1 : The app includes man mad fish structures for several lakes. That’s really useful when fishing a new lake that has them. I was surprised today to get an email from their tech support today that they have added contours for the lake I had requested. That’s really really awesome. Thanks for adding some of the lakes I had requested. It’s really appreciated..Version: 130.0.0

Love itI love mapping apps. Great app to study under water topography..Version: 99.0.0

Works and Support team is very helpfulI’ve been using this app for quite some time and it’s always been reliable and very functional for my navigation needs. Over they years I’ve built and honed a number of routes around hazards and navigational issues that makes this a critical part of my boating safety. Recently, after an iOS hardware upgrade, a new phone, I was having difficulty restoring my routes which were saved on an iPad back to my phone. On a Saturday I sent a email to the support team and they answered back almost immediately, worked with me on my issue and within 15 minutes my routes were thankfully restored to my phone. Now that is going above and beyond to make a customer happy. Thanks..Version: 71.0.0

Feature rich with excellent customer supportI’ve used this app for almost a month now and I am very impressed with the feature set. I have tried almost every charting app available on the store but I keep coming back to it because this one is the easiest to use and has the advanced feature that I am used to. Recently I was trying to figure out how to set up a real time depth alarm using the depth data coming from the transducer to our boats NMEA network. The tech support responded timely with detailed steps and a video regarding it. Thanks for all the timely help..Version: 135.0.0

Getting to grips with the app!I have been drawing up trial routes. I feel that the guidance in use of the app could be better, even if a down load able pdf were available this would at least give a summary of all the individual elements of the app. I have no experience of chart plotters and I am very much a learner with this app. Please consider adding some help topics for such as me.

ReviewYou are making a great app thanks🎣🎣.Version: 111.0.0

GreatTried a few apps and this the only one that works for me. You get a free map so trying out route planning, distances, beatings, fuel consumption and things to see is great..Version: 83.0.0

Decent water gpsI’ve used this app for hundreds of nautical miles. GPS follow is very reliable when it’s hooked with my Bluetooth GPS. Accurately locates me on the chart with a breadcrumb trail and a heading line. Charts are crystal clear and show ATONs, obstructions and depths. I have started using the most recent update with auto routing and it’s incredibly useful. Overall a decent app well worth the upgrade..Version: 116.0.0

Very good mapsA really good chat system with lots of extras. This is a must have for planning trips. Brilliant..Version: 52.0.0

Accuracy Paid DividendsMy trip from Kaneohe Bay to Molokai brought me into a new harbor (to me) in the dark at 2100. Using the app to guide us to the Lono Harbor we found it incredibly accurate as we shined our spotlight on the lineup markers and just close enough to the large rocks to feel some real joy at dropping anchor safety. I immediately asked my navigator what app he was using and purchased it the next morning!! Saved my boat and gave me a very good night’s sleep! Highly recommended!.Version: 112.0.0

Destination Rabbit islandNew destinations always come with new challenges. Sailing to rabbit island. Wilson’s prom is none the different as a first time we had no navigation issues complements to i-Boating. We did however beach the boat complements to our inability to judge the tides. Love i-Boating, great tool.Version: 83.0.0

ComprehensiveI like the level of detail and the way it is presented. Otherwise does just the same as every other nav app..Version: 132.0.0

We love this more that my Navionics chip!We rather use this on the phone rather than the Navionics on my helix 5 chirp !!! Easier to see the important things like rocks and such. Easy to find anchor points also. It’s a breeze to use!.Version: 126.0.0

Fantastic!Having previously used paper based maps and charts, I cannot believe I was missing out on this app! Very useful, and I highly recommend!.Version: 71.0.0

Great. In detail mappingI could never find in depth mapping of my local lakes (looking for ice fishing spots). This app was perfect, and I found some great looking spots. Hope they produce!.Version: 127.0.0

Recent Retirement in new NZ LocationHaving moved to a new part of the NZ coastline I am finding this App very useful for swatting up potentially useful fishing spots while at home. Once the boat is in the water I can then use the onboard chart plotter and fishfinder to get to these spots and test the theory with a line in the water..Version: 116.0.0

A Great AppI used the i-Boating app to record a full Western Circumnavigation of the World. Being able to enter accurate daily positions with captions I have a complete at a glance record of the entire voyage including the times and position of crossing the equator, IDL, the 180’ meridian, etc .. A very easy to use professional app..Version: 102.0.0

Great fo inland lakes /rivers in OntarioExcellent app , see all contours and any available info in Ontario lakes , gps locates you as you drive , very nice , quite intuitive to figure out and use.Version: 136.0.0

H28 SailorGreat marine navigation app. GPS features are very easy to use. I especially like their take on autofollow. It shows instant heading as an arrow. This is very useful when approaching harbours. Maps are interactive. You can touch any symbol on the maps and find out what it is..Version: 60.0.0

Excellent appFor once an app that just does what you want and doesn't bombard you with advertising. Well done i-Boating!.Version: 71.0.0

Brilliant appGood features, and the tide times are very useful. Brilliant, helpful and fast customer service!.Version: 71.0.0

This app make my Raymarine look ancient.I find it very useful to study the map from any angle. I can simply rotate maps with my fingers just like I can on Google Maps..Version: 51.0.0

So far so good.Can’t complain so far, will update after some further use..Version: 71.0.0

Tight spotsI found this app to be quite accurate, where I park I have to go between some reefs without much room and not enough water even at high tide to go over the top of them. That makes it harder as the reef is hidden at the top of the tide. I zoom in the chart and go in and park with no problems. Worth its weight in gold. Well that my 2 cents worth Cheers and free winds.Version: 112.0.0

New to SailingI am new to sailing and found this App very useful.Version: 71.0.0
