Customer Reviews

Its the one Marine App I use everyday I'm on my Boat. (5 stars)
I was hesitant about paying $20 for an App when there were a lot of free or under $5 App's out there. Now, I'm glad I did. I use it everyday I'm on our boat. I never leave the dock without checking it.

If you are on a lake or just run up and down the waterway, I guess you wouldn't need it, but in my case, I mostly cruise in the Bahamas. Its great for crossings or going from Island to Island.
