"This app has completely changed my pre-trip routine. I spend my weeknights scouting the high-resolution bathymetry and marking waypoints on my iPad, and they are already there on my HDS Pro the moment I hit the water. It saves me so much time at the ramp and helps me find the ledges other guys miss."

"The C-MAP REVEAL shading is incredibly detailed—it's like seeing the bottom of the lake in 3D. I use the Autorouting feature to plan safe paths through the flats and love having the anchor alerts on my phone for peace of mind. It is a must-have for anyone serious about their time on the water."

Captain Dave S., Coastal Angler

Review Analysis

Insights from user reviews.

Sentiment Score

23%
Negative

Summary

The app receives predominantly negative feedback, with a critical lack of stability being the most cited issue, as users frequently report constant crashes, freezing, and inability to launch on various devices including iPhone 13, 14, 17, iOS 26.1, and version 2.5.3 on iPad. Many paid subscribers express frustration over paying for an app that is unusable, citing issues with device connectivity, map loading, waypoint management, and non-functional premium features. While some users appreciate the visual quality of the charts, the potential for integration with Lowrance devices, and the app's basic navigation capabilities, these positives are heavily overshadowed by widespread bugs. Users also report difficulty accessing effective customer support for these persistent problems.
