iNavX: Marine Navigation App Reviews

160 add

Used for over 2 years

I first got InavX when I installed a wi-fi enabled AIS to supplement my on-board navigation instruments. I really like the route making capability and the fact that I can import/export routs between my IPhone and IPad. I also like the ability to track AIS targets with it. I downloaded Gribs while offshore with my Globalstar phone on two crossings of th northern Gulf using XGate and a Redport optimizer. I am currently assisting a friend who is in SW Florida teaching an ASA class with weather forecasting using the weather functions. Impressive app. Now if only I could get my on-board radar on it too! This is a five star app!

INavx

This is definitely the best and most comprehensive boat navigation app out there. It has worked flawlessly for me. If the iPad screen were better in bright sunlight, this is all that would be necessary.

PERFECT!

Very thoughtfully designed.

Will not use anything else

Ive been using this nav app for several years. I have tried others, but they always leave out something to force you to use their plotter. With this program, I "technically" dont need anything else.

Killer app

Read about in Latitude 38 and decided to try it myself. Love it!

Not compatible with 6s or 6s plus

Warning: Some of the important INavX touch features do not work with the latest iPhones (6s & 6s plus). I was assured by INavX (by email) when I bought the new iPhone 6s plus in November 2015, that a software update fix was coming soon. So far, nothing. This is a huge disappointment. I would not have spent the money for the new phone if I new it wasnt going to be compatible. I rate the app itself 5 stars......but for no warning about the incompatibility with the new phones to be found anywhere, I rate it one star.

Great app

Great app and easy to use. Simple navigation tool that I use in addition to my gps chart plotter. I create my routes in NavX and then use same coordinates in my chart plotter. Highly recommend.

Not so great...Waste of time and money

First of all, it crashes a lot... Secondly, it is poorly designed, there are "free apps" that are much better... This is nothing more than an app to run other paid charts with, however it can not even do that well...on both iPhone and iPad... Save yourself some money and frustration and avoid this app! Does not download and display NOAA charts correctly, coordinates are off significantly on top of only displaying individual charts one at a time... No quilting of charts! Plus you have to start from scratch selecting a chart each time you exit the app not counting when the app crashes.

Awesome!!!

I use this everytime I go sailing!

Latest update crashes on start

This app used to work fine prior to the most recent upgrade now it crashes on start so I wouldnt recommend the latest upgrade.

Great app, almost everything you would need.

I use this app in conjunction with a bad elf blue tooth gps, and my iPad as a chart plotter. I have tried other nav apps and in the end came back to this one because of its customizability. And ability to integrate other hardware, and maps. I use it to cruse and race in Mobile Bay. This app run on a iPad or iPhone should not replace a chart plotter for long distance sailing. But is does make a viable back up system. Well worth the app cost.

iNavX is our primary navigating tool

We have been using iNavX for over four years while sailing from South America through the island chains to North America where we sailed through the Great Lakes, even north of the 49th parallel! Our voyage then took us through the inland waterways of the USA to the Gulf of Mexico. We are now preparing for a Pacific Ocean crossing to New Zealand and then north to Alaska. All the way we will use iNavX as primary navigator with our Raymarine system as the back-up. We love the ease and clarity iNaveX gives us aboard our boat s/v Mahayana.

Love this app

I have found this app more useful, user friendly and more reliable than my actual handheld marine gps

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.

App gives error on startup

app on new iphone SE is Broken. iNavX no longer works just shows error. Waste of $$!

User friendly and intuitive.

Use this on my iPhone and iPad to plan cruising routes.

INavx

Used to be the best App, now getting error and missing the whole App. Apparently the Developers are working out the bugs... Looking forward to resume using INavx.

The best!

Ive been using iNavX on my iPhone and my iPad for years. It is a great app! All the features I need and want are there. Its easy to use. Everything works. I highly recommend it.

Great app

The ap repeat function is great for designing your own Arduino autopilot helm control.

Fix problems

I have been using this apps for years n it works great until the other day when I was on my boat n it doesnt wrk. And still doesnt wrk. Plz fix
