Read trusted reviews from application customers
Not what I thought
No mention of not being compatable with new Android phones. Wasted my time
Doesn't work on current Android version
Old, incompatible with newer Android versions. unfortunate
Screen will not rotate, makes it difficult to study
All seems ok on Samsung Note 8, a little slow sometimes but a dam sight cheaper than the 5011 chart book.
The app fails to open on my Galaxy Note 4 and on Galaxy tablet
I love this application so so much but fix the slow hanging things.... it is somehow irritating.... just make it flow well.... I need update please or I will take back my five star in six months time
Seriously please redesign this app, the user interface always hangs at start up and the text is too small on images, this may be ok on a tablet but it's useless on a phone. I'm currently doing my day skipper and was hoping this would be an aid and quick reference. Unfortunately a book or ebook is much easier to use. Take a look a the boating reference app if you want an example of a good app. I've been developing software my self for over 20 year and very rarely feel the need to comment to such a degree.
Scrolling further down shows a full screen size of unnecessary blank space for nothing.. Also the app takes time to load..Pls fix and update.
