Unjustified Price Increase
Having subscribed to Navionics Vision + for my chart plotter, I also subscribed to the Navionics app so I could research new areas to fish, save way points and build new routes that I would transfer to my chart plotter. I was happy to pay $39 a year for this however I nearly fell over when I went to renew it this morning and found Navionics is asked $89 a year for the app. What has possibly changed to dictate such a large increase. I would now call on Navionics to make it free to premium subscribers of the Vision + subscription and the like. Remembering I paid nearly $380 for this the first year I purchased it and continue to pay $178 to keep it. Poor form Navionics

Well, that was a bit too much
I just saw your new pricing and realized for myself that I'm not playing the game anymore. Navionics has always been the best map app for me in recent years. Unfortunately, you have now overstepped the mark and you are now rid of me. It's a pity. But other providers can also develop good apps, you just have to adjust a bit.......

App was great until I just saw the cost of my renewal. How can Navionics justify going from $39 to $89 in one year. It was a great addition to the Navionics Vision + subscription I have for my chartplotter but now I think it should be included given the massive price increase. Won't be renewing my subscription for the app. Well done Navionics, great way to lose loyal customers that spend a lot on your chart plotter charts only to get done over on your app. Extremely disappointed

I used it for a while and I thought it was good, if it's good, I don't deny it, but the truth is that they raised the price exaggeratedly, I only need the American area because it's where I work, now I have to download the one in Canada as well, which I don't need. I deduct stars because the truth is that they exaggerated the price, removing the US option is the only one I need, I will look for other options in other applications.

I purchased the old app in April of 2011. It was a 1 time purchase with the option to make in-app purchases. They force you away from that one to this app and then make it a monthly subscription. When I emailed them about restoring my purchase or transferring it to the new app, they responded I now need to pay the recurring subscription. I asked about just restoring access to my original purchase of the old app, and they said it is no longer active. You pay, they take away.🤬
