Baits you. Must purchase expensive charts to use.

I have been using this app for years and was very happy with it but it seems they have now stopped upgrading and supporting but are still happy to sell to anyone stupid enough to buy it!! I changed phones and tried to restore my purchased charts but could not. Emails to support are totally ignored. Changing to another product. Very disappointed!

I would give NO STARS FOR NOTHING if I could but app won’t allow. After getting the app and paying $25 for the charts it worked. Shortly after Active Captain stopped working and then so did the chart. When I try to use the chart they want me to buy it again. I’ve tried numerous e-mails - no response. STAY CLEAR unless you want to donate $25 for nothing.

I bought the first generation of this app several years ago for as I remember around $25.00. I then noticed rather than fixing and upgrading the existing app they put out an upgraded app for $50.00. I emailed them and after lots of back forth they reluctantly gave me the new app for free. Now neither app works and the developer doesn’t seem to be updating them anymore. I see they are now charging for another one! These people are crooks! Don’t do business with these people!

This app was once good. The charts have not been updated since 2016 and connectivity to active captian is broken. Don't bother with this one.

I bought this app also. Worked great. My phone is now on IOS 11. This app needs to be updated to work with my phone. Tried to contact developer. No response. They should give customers the updated version that works with the newer IOS instead of taking the “Screw You” stance and not even respond to a valid issue. Navigate far far away from this app.....!!!

In order for this app to be usable, you must purchase the charts. Otherwise, it's worthless.

I bought this app for a high price. Used and it was pretty good. They no longer support that version. Got a new phone and now I have to re-buy the same app. They do not answer emails. Do not risk it.

What they don't tell you is that the app is worthless without purchasing charts from them. There's plenty of name brand chart packages that I would trust, as well as FREE charts from NOAA. Deleted!

This app is a complete rewrite of the old Charts and Tides with much improved capability and in now much faster with the 64 bit support. - The charts have much more detail now with labels for buoys, Active Captain markers and other marine features. - Touching the screen brings up a menu of all objects close by. The great feature of this format is that it looks for all boundaries of forbidden areas including no anchoring zone, cable areas, no snorkeling areas, no discharge zones, etc. in other apps you have to search the chart for where the boundary lines are which may be far from where you are at and then determine if you are inside the lines, not an easy thing to do on a busy chart. It's a great safety feature of this app that's not implemented in any other app! - Like the charts, the entire Active Captain database is stored inside the app for instant use. I cannot over emphasize the importance of having current hazard data as you negotiate shallow areas of the ICW. Other apps have AC data too but this app does an especially good job of displaying that data and if you do have an internet connect then you can update Action Captain cloud database in real time so other captains can see the latest information. This is a great app, you won't go wrong.
