Most complaints are long-running bugs and neglect: Watch app lag and broken complications, freezes, slow loading, Mac crashes, data inaccuracies, and unresponsive support. Secondary monetization friction comes from paywalled widgets and Watch support and a bait-and-switch for lifetime buyers.
Navico Norway AS · Navigation
Reviews overwhelmingly cite crashes, lost GPS position, broken track saving, frozen settings and failed offline downloads across several versions. The software is neglected, but the charts themselves are praised.
The rating collapse comes from v4.6.x crash-on-launch, frozen settings and unreliable chartplotter sync, all neglected for months. Some crashes may be tied to new iOS and iPhone releases. The app's value is tied to Navico hardware and C-MAP charts, so users are partly captive.
Reviews are dominated by crashes, disappearing location, settings resets, lost waypoints and a removed water-level feature across versions, which points to neglect and poor quality. Some crashes coincide with iOS 26, but the problems persist across releases. Much of the value depends on proprietary charts and Lowrance hardware integration.
GEC s.r.l. · Navigation
Recent reviews mostly cite broken tile downloads, a buggy route planner, freezes, disappearing offline charts and poor UX. A secondary theme is creeping add-on pricing. Users are not captive, since Navionics and iBoating are named as alternatives.
Wavve Boating Inc · Navigation
Most recent 1-stars attack the hard paywall: a forced trial before seeing anything, hidden pricing, and surprise annual charges. A second large group complains about missing lake data and poor routing.
WeatherFlow · Weather
The decline is driven mainly by moving previously accessible wind stations behind higher-priced Pro/upgrade tiers, which hit even paying Plus users. A v7 redesign that added crashes and worse graphics, plus forecast accuracy complaints, are secondary factors.
The dominant complaint is the move from free to aggressive tiered paywalls ($45–$180/yr), with ads even for top-tier payers, plus some bugs and UX regressions such as removed charts and broken SST.
Garmin International · Navigation
The decline is driven mostly by Garmin raising the annual subscription to about $49 and paywalling basic charts and saved spots. This is compounded by a widespread bug where paid users get stuck in a subscription-entitlement loop, plus crashes and GPS freezes. Users still pay, but many are churning to Savvy Navvy, Orca and free NOAA-based apps.
SAVVY NAVVY LTD · Navigation
Most complaints target the hidden hard paywall/trial and high annual price, compounded by buggy auto-routing, subscription sync failures and poor support; chart coverage gaps also recur.
The app is a mandatory companion for Garmin chartplotters, used for chart purchases, map installs and firmware updates. Reviews complain about clunky sync, confusing UX and slow updates, but users are tied to their Garmin hardware and charts. An outside developer cannot replace the device integration or the licensed charts.
