Many people here love the app and I don’t want to step on their toes but I sure have a love/hate relationship with the mobile app. I use WiFish on my iPad for big screen but because of the non-updated unit chip things are wonky.ĪNYWAYS, after all the rants I still use the navionics app as it works ok and $35 a year is ok for the piece of mind it provides (most of the time).

Navionic still clobbers me on the iPad disabling paid features because my Raymarine unit does not have a updated navionic chip. Keeping the iPad out of sunlight and having a power supply (usb cigarette lighter Adapter etc.) make the iPad quite usable. Remember iPads are useless unless you teather wifi on the boat or have a iPad with gps (only cell enabled ipad). I have a android phone and ipad on board. At least it doesn't clobber you with addon ads like it did a year or so back.Ī nice new feature is only 1 license is required for your android and ios device. This is a typical Overkill procedure that you just put up with. The notification wont go away and takes up 25% of the screen. Yes the new versions have some nice features but it still clobbers you with dumb stuff like constantly asking to updates maps while on the water etc. Lakemaster is in my opinion better than Navionics. Navionics has an online web app you can view lakes before you buy.

My cell coverage sucks and can just imagine the headaches this will cause again. Check the lake list on the Humminmbird website and see if the lakes you fish are listed and if they are high-definition maps. Navionic is again “updating” and soon will require you to login online etc. Still to this day I swear the original app from years ago was the best. Early adopters have gone through many ups and downs, including Navionics “version updating” requiring purchasing the same app multiple times. Like several guys here I have been a navionic user since the beginning.
