Pros and cons of Marine Navigation app for iPhone and iPad

Marine Navigation app good for

They are working hard to fix iOS 9 problems after I sent a message regarding same. I was told that they would have things fixed within 24 hours and guess what? They did! They are very responsive to customers.
So far so good! I own 2 boats and this app is like having a gps navigation system for $8? Kinda a no brainier if my systems go down then at least I can still navigate. The ocean map shows all the banks and high spots. So far so good and cheap in my 20 years of offshore fishing opinion.
I couldnt get my chart plotter installed for 2 weeks and had to take the boat from Victoria bc to comox bc. The program worked perfectly and was very easy to use. Depths outcroppings reefs rocks and small islands all accurate. Even gas stations were easy to find on the trip. Best 7.00 spent.
I have navionics aswell and both are great but I find myself using this app more u can switch maps referencing bottom structure on google earth layout then flipping back to NOAA hydrographic to see depths u can see the rock structure hit a waypoint then see where u are. Very user friendly.

Some bad moments

Recent update prior did not work with 9.3 iOS. However, the latest revision is now working. 1st time since I got this program about 2+ years ago.
Save your money. This app is not user friendly. Good luck downloading the charts if you do spend money on this app.
I installed "Marine Navigation" on my iPad 2 yesterday and have not yet been able to get it to work. I am able to create a way point but not able to ude the way point in any meaningful way. I cannot locate or access any user instructions and am completely frustrated. For the record, I am a retired USAF Master navigator and a PhD professor emeritus at St Marys University. I hope that someone can help me or that I can obtain a refund for the purchase!
Easy to use, a little slow in a fast boat, really needs to update more often. But in a pinch, much better than going back to time at speed!
Very easy to use, all you do is enter longitude and latitude and off you go. I cant wait to fully test it in the keys this weekend.
Didnt work for me. Looks nice but charts dont always load,when zooming in to view obstructions or placing way point it zoom all the way out instantly by itself every time. Frustrating. Wish it worked for me looks good and good price but charts froze half loaded. Reloaded app still no luck. App also blast you pop ups to rate with any click on the app before you get to try.
