  1. 5/5So far so good

    Nice useful app, reasonable price. would love to see one feature added... the ability to re-zero (or offset) pitch, bank and compass heading from any iPad / iPhone position so iPad could be mounted in some position other than directly in line of sight but still give (relative) pitch / bank and heading...

  2. 5/5Does what it says on the box

    This app is easy to use and has no unnecessary cruft. When I had a question about locating a distant fix (which appear smaller due to the distance), the developer responded quickly and helpfully.

  3. 5/5Very nice navigation app.

    Useful for boating. I wish there were a way to have it record the bearing so that I can check my progress on a return journey.

  4. 5/5Great app

    Started using this app on an iPhone 7, now using on an iPhone Xs. Works great, never any problems.

  5. 1/5Not worth the cost

    Terrible app..completely freezes up the phone/camera..junk. I’m an 40 year airline pilot, power boat and sailboat user. My iPhone 8 and IPad Air has the latest software.
