iNavX: Marine Navigation App Reviews

Very Disappointed

I bought this app based on the good reviews but that was a mistake. Im new to sailing but have used other GPS apps for travel. This was the most expensive and least intuitive GPS app Ive used. I wish I could get my money back.

Best nautical chart map out there!

Enough said.

A great app made better!

Ive just been using this update for a short while but I have already noticed significant speed improvements and streamlined features. I love the ability to purchase charts in the app. Thanks to you guys! Great work!

Love it

Expensive, but worth it.

Complicated chart selection, drains battery

High battery usage for background location. Complex and unintuitive UI. There might be many options but frankly basic ones are not easy to use. Price on sale was better then other apps but if you use NOAA maps in single area, there are apps that win on price too. So maybe I am just using few features and would appreciate it more if I go deeper. However, I am on the fence of buying competing up instead.

I trust my life to this thing

Great app, great price, keeps getting better. Support is amazing, but I havent needed it for a couple of years.

Frustrating interface

This app is great when its finally running, but every time you start it it sits and chugs for as much as a couple minutes (a major drawback if you need it in a hurry) and even after the main screen comes up you have to reload your map. Twice now when I updated I lost my for-fee fugawi vector maps. Theyre supposed to stay on your device once downloaded even after your subscription lapses, but mine were gone and I had to pay to download. BoatUS gives you the same maps for the $10 price of the app.

Best Navigation App

This is the best navigation app on Ive seen. I simply dont go anywhere without it.. It has been dead accurate in Puerto Rico and the East Coast US. Also, I even used it in Hawaii, circling a volcano (we were hiking without a guide) and I never felt lost, because of this App. Love it!!!

Very functional App!

This app crushes the competition. It turns your iPad into a fully functioning chart plotter. Setup was a snap, and linking it to our Vesper AIS transponder took minutes. Ive only used this app for a few days on the water, but already I can see that it is going to be a useful tool for us. We run sailing charters in the PNW, BC and Alaska coastal waters, and I think this app will be useful for all navigation needs.

Still the best Nav app

This is still the best Nav app for the iPad. I use this on an iPad Mini as backup to the Garmin system in my boat. I like the look of paper NOAA charts and the resolution is great. I can transfer routes created in the Garmin Homeport app via XTraverse to iNavX so I have routing backup as well. I am glad that the ability to upload all downloaded charts in one operation has been restored. Performance is very good with an external BadElf GPS bluetooth on my WiFi only iPad mini. I also have Garmin BlueChart on my iPad, but prefer to use iNavX so I am using a different chart database for addtional safety. My only wish is for Active Captain support in iNavX.

Flawless App

iNavx is a superb app. It works perfectly as a backup chart plotter. It performs as well, and certainly more intuitively, than the Furuno NavNet plotter on my boat. With the addition of Navionics bathymetry charts and Hiltons satellite charts, its a powerful fishing tool.

Crossed the Pacific with it!

San Francisco to Hawaii - worked great all the way across on an iPad - came into Hilo 4AM - overtaken by a squall - steered according to iNavX - found ourselves exactly where it said we were relative to the channel markers when the squall passed ... Excellent!

Amazing, Accurate, 5X Navigation

I can depend on iNav more than the installed navigation system on my boat! Thank you very much for the most updated, accurate & easy to use app! --Dr Murray Johnson

Best marine navigation app!

Been using for years and just getting around to leaving a review. Amazing chartplotter but even better integration with my AIS, GPS, etc. Love all the chart options. Nothing better! Cant say enough good things.

The BEST boating and Marine Navigation App

Without a doubt this is the best marine navigation app. Ive tried them all now and iNavX is the only app I used. Whether Im sailing in San Francisco or open ocean racing, iNavXs comprehensive features and access to all the charts I need, clearly sets it apart. Dont be nickel-and-dimed by cheaper apps with all their IAPs. I ended up spending a lot more than what iNavX charges and got a fraction of the features. More importantly, through iNavXs partnership with X-Traverse I got all the international charts I need. Really helpful when I was sailing the Virgin Islands this spring.

Best maps

This app has the best nautical maps. It has more detail than navionics or blue chart. The only problem is that the maps do not connect, so one needs to switch maps as you travel. I dropped my rating one star after the update as theyr weather does not work as advertised. It does not display as an overlay and simultaneously replaces the underlying chart with a solid tan box.

AWESOME NAVIGATION APP!!

This is my #1 back up to paper and Mk I Mod 0 eyeball. Rendering and georectification is spot on. It has never let me down.

The best and always getting better.

iNavX - Thank You for Keeping Me Safe

I sail and angle often - Ive tried many other apps but I keep finding myself coming back to iNavX each time. This is easily the best and the price is a steal for the amount of features you guys provide. Thank you for keeping me safe and creating beautiful memories for many many years. Keep up the good work!

Awesome app

When it comes to marine navigation, no app comes even close to iNavX. As an avid sailor, I have tried many different marine navigation apps to enhance my sailing adventures and iNavX has consistently been there for me. A must have for any passionate marine explorer!!
