If you’re on the fence, jump off and DL this app. It’s better than the description implies. If you have a question about it, email the developer. I did, and got a response within an hour. The app is easily the best $$ you’ll spend today. You will only have to spend it once, no subscription for updates like similar apps. I got this as a backup for my onboard plotter and paper charts.
Disappointing

By dangerseeker1 (Pcmac user)

So I have a paper chart on my phone, I believe that these are open source charts, so anyone can download them and share them. My problem with the app, isn’t about the money, it’s the fact that you cannot navigate using this app, the interface between the charts and true gps data is very inaccurate, sometimes off by over a half a mile. That makes it dangerous at best. And you can’t really navigate from a digital chart either, because you can’t lay a compass over your phone, so ,,, hmmm, it really needs work. The overland mapping by Gaia is spot on, even in the mountains, to within +- 10 yards, maybe even better.
Cheap and Easy

By Brian..., (Pcmac user)

No longer a need to carry the fold ups in the boat. For the price of 2 maps, I’ve got the whole coast. Good use of technology. Really appreciate the ability to download the chart for use outside of cell phone range. Good for weekenders like me who can’t flip the $10k for a name brand monitor assembly. Plus - no ads getting in the way of the data. :-) Developer is responsive to inquiries.
Superb and Cheap

By Bluescroozer (Pcmac user)

This app makes the best case yet for electronic media satisfying chart carriage requirements. It’s economical, runs in off-line mode and is updated as frequently as NOAA charts are released. The only conceivable additions for me would be an ability to to place markers and something like the Navionics dividers applet for measuring point-to-point distances. But its pretty good as-is. And for the price....
