Latest reviews of OpenSeaMap app for iPhone and iPad
I suppose we have to buy charts to see any detail and if Im going to do that, might as well use Garmin. Views are slow and buggy to load when you zoom.
I cannot upgrade to the Professional version without any good reason...Please update the version: it doesnt work anymore. Since the last update It shows corrupted maps, zoom is blocked and no updates about wind and conditions. Please update.
This is the best I can find for an app thats free and usable. But unfortunately for what I need, it just need a little more. All I hope for is that i can bookmark an location and be able to remove them individually. This app cant even do that. I wish there is that feature, then would at least be a 4 star.
This app provides attractive maps, but I cannot get it to display the depth of the water. Nice land map, but useless on the water.
I just purchase the plot seamap and it dose not work! I wold like a refund please. You guys need to work on this before you sell this app any more.
