Top Pcmac Reviews

Charts and Tides US East

By Pick of the Litter (Pcmac user)

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.....!!!
Do Not Buy this App

By Mpw2316589 (Pcmac user)

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 the app but could not. Emails to support are totally ignored. Changing to another product. Very disappointed!
Complete Rip-off

By bipass (Pcmac user)

I would give NO STARS FOR NOTHING if I could but app won’t allow. After getting the app and paying $25 for the the app 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.
Chart Bait

By invelo (Pcmac user)
