Navionics® Boating - Latest Quality Issues

Betrayed
I've been a long-time user of the Garmin Navionics Boating app and initially purchased it as a one-time purchase, as advertised. However, recent updates have introduced subscription-based services and discontinued support for non-renewable subscriptions. This feels like a departure from the original terms of purchase and leaves me disappointed as a customer. While I understand the need for updates and improvements, the sudden change in pricing model is disheartening. I hope the developers reconsider their approach to pricing and subscriptions in the future.

Tide timings are not accurate!
I have downloaded the app and noticed that high tide at Lymington is showing as approximately 2 hours later than shown in the official tide tables. However, low tide times are accurate which makes only four hours between the low and high tides! Because of this the app is absolutely useless and not fit for purpose. I would therefore like my money back unless an immediate fix is available.

unsuitable!
was good in the past! Today you have to register first to get a chance to use it on the high seas! Incredible! Use on the high seas without internet impossible!

Not worth the subscription
Had the subscription for 5 years, but during so the price doubled and the app hasn't evolved. I'm gonna “jump-ship” to iSailor. Christian/Denmark

Excellent app I have been using it on the boat for years, now I have changed tablet and unfortunately the new one does not let me see the navigation data horizontally but only vertically as if it were a smartphone, it is an absurd problem because on the old tablet I continue to see the data horizontally, same exact version with last update. I've reinstalled the app several times but it doesn't change anything. What is the solution? Thank you

Charge for Canada maps and I'll never end up going there. But yeah increase the price and include somewhere I'll never fish... Should of left it US and Canada . Changed all my settings on me.... The app is great but having to pay for Canada maps as an American is pointless and I'm sure Canadians probably feel the same

Ok app, but they doubled the cost to $50/year! Not worth it - read the recent reviews. They are gauging their customers. I'm done with corporate greed. OpenCPN is MUCH more powerful and govt charts are free.

The app itself is great for navigation. However since the last update it's only possible to use it on two devices simultaneously. We have widely over two devices on our boat, making it impossible to use Navionics with one subscription. Given it's one of the highest priced apps on a market it's an absolute no-go to buy two subscriptions for one boat. We'll have to switch to a competitor for this reason. Please fix this pointless limitation [handle] and we'll gladly come back 🙏

I subscribed on May 6, 2024 for a year-round Europe zone. Today, 2 days before the transatlantic race, it is impossible to log in to my navionics account. Bye 50balls, bye cards! What happened?
