Comments on i-Boating:Marine Navigation for Android
★★★★☆Some One· Apr 20, 2026
App is really not bad - 4.5/5. Couple things to improve and... Nice: 1. Routing Auto/Saving/Editing - if you can do it at home - perfect. 2. Reverse/Duplicate/Import route - nice. No Export. 3. Anchor alarm - nice, if u stay overnight. 4. Weather right on the map 5. Price comparing to Avionics 6. No subscription 7. Offline maps Needs work: 1. Some areas are not digitized properly, shows up like a scan from old paper charts but hopefully will be fixed. 2. Auto routing doesn't work offline.
★★★★☆Mike Crockett· Jun 8, 2026
Such a great app other than needs to have higher definition of bottom structure in shaded relief to compete with avionics as it has much more detail. Please update this. As structure and navigation is the most important feature.🙏
★★★★★Ryan Landriault· Jul 5, 2026
If you're looking for accurate depth charts and marine navigation this is the app for you. Have had this app free version for a year, upgraded to pro on sale and will never go back. Live location tracking and accurate depth maps on small ontario lakes. Upgraded phones and lost premium, emailed and within 2 hours premium setup on my new phone.
★☆☆☆☆Elijah McElhaney· Jun 14, 2026
What a rip-off! Forced to buy updated maps so the GPS function works. Pay $30 for an update, and you don't know how long it's good for.
★☆☆☆☆Joseph Finch· Jul 11, 2026
You have to pay for what noaa gives for free buying charts is useless as the areas change buoys move dredging of channels and sea buoys come up missing so why buy a chart I can get for free from noaa. Also the corp of engineers has charts to download if you have a GPS app.
