This app is terribly slow on wifi and basically useless with cell service. I have an android and used this on my sailboat. It is unable to refresh fast enough for depth changes and hazards. I gave it a few months to see if it would improve but it hasn't. The lag isn't just with updating location, all of the features have a lag of a minute or more. Like changing the map settings or setting locations. It is really frustrating. Would not recommend downloading, plenty of other free apps out there.

It works, but has serious performance problems on android ( pixel 8 pro) - also I'm not sure the map is fully up to date. It's good for a free app, but I didn't purchase it because of the performance issues, slow location timing, and out of date mapping. Fix these and you'd have a buy from me.

Update: app freezes after entering GPS coordinates. Only way to get back is to close and restart. Great routing app. Not super accurate with depths, but has the basics down pat. I love love love all the communication from the developers!! Keep it coming!

This app could be fantastic but at least on Android I've had a very bad experience with it. Performance got really bad while on the water, and the point that shows my location and direction was almost never accurate, showing me crab walking as though the compass stopped working. Using the track feature at about 5 mph drew lines through islands that I was going around. After we got back to the dock, unloaded the boat and went back for the phone, the location was still catching up.

So far, not reliable. I have installed it twice on my android phone before I was able to get to the setup. I had problems from the start with it taking minutes to load. I then installed it on my android tablet and it sits there for longer on the blue Argo screen. I even purchased the premium subscription to see if it improved, but it didn't. When it did open on my phone, I was greeted with a spam friend request. After updating, it says update failed in top left corner. Not reliable navigation.

Nothing like following their roots. It may say is the safest last shortest way there. Just to find out their maps are so far off and out of date that you're going to end up really screwed! Tried to tell me I was in 7 ft water just to find out I was in 8 inches or less of water. Definitely do not trust this app absolute trash! Well I'll tell you guys right now your maps are way off especially in the corpus Christi bay!!!!! I used my phone for the app with my GPS set to precise location.

I downloaded this app for a pontoon boat rental at a local lake. It was super easy to get up and running with no issues. There's probably more features but it was good enough to make sure I was on track and able to get back to the marina. Definitely recommend to anyone new to these kinds of apps!

A TT guy that I know created this app & worked really hard on, so im going to do the best that I can. This app has the works for boaters; Captains Logs(!), friend messaging, maps, weather, tide, nav, AND A SOCIAL feed! App freezes in feedback page. The intro prompts that allow sliding a phone, when you swipe to next phone it needs to lock or line up - I got stuck between the images x3. For the record, this isn't pain and I don't own a boat. Awesome job!
