Idanimor ,

Good, useful app. Missing some features.

I use it to navigate to markers when driving boats that don’t have built in navigation systems.

The features that I am missing are:

1. Distance to marker countdown is in 0.1 NM increments so it’s not helpful on your final approach. Please fix this by counting down the last 500 feet/meters in feet/meter increments!

2. Marker (waypoint) grouping/folders. I have many saved waypoints and no means for organizing them.

After ver 20 the app stop working. 3 years it’s working fine without updates but working!!! Now after 1 year if you don’t pay the app stop working (c-map it’s better and requniice)

Developer Response ,

We are sorry to hear of your experience. In 2014 we introduced the yearly subscription for our coverage areas to give access to daily chart updates and app’s advanced features. Once the subscription expired, customers could still access previously downloaded charts or download new areas within their coverage, without the ability to update nor use the advanced features of the app. With the latest app release 20.X, new changes have been introduced to the app and now only active subscriptions have the right to download updated chart details and use advanced features. Also, among the changes introduced, previously downloaded charts will remain accessible as long as they are stored on the device’s internal memory. Please note that by uninstalling the Boating app, installing it to a new device or logging in the app with a different account will cause the permanent loss of the downloaded details related to discontinued or expired subscriptions.
