Pros and cons of Wärtsilä iSailor app for iPhone and iPad

Wärtsilä iSailor app good for

Just had to be patient to get the improved new version. Look ok so far
For every update, I sailor give you surprise and open new field to easier navigation. Thank you!
Please add french language but i suppose you are working on it Would be great to have a google map style display option while arriving to the pier plus information on the port facilities ...otherwise well done worth the price.
I just love it!!! Very good app, easy to use and user friendly. I have tried all the apps available and have already used Raymarine C120 plotter but I prefer the iSailor from Transas far from them all!!
Vera Nice app. As a pilot, i started using the app and i could say it is very reliable. One good improvement would be the ability to insert user waypoints by latitude and longitude, as well as see the routes by courses and distances.
As a professional mariner I use iSailor for double checking and recording large vessel tracks and its accuracy when comparing to professional onboard equipment its quite spot on. Certainly would not recommend for professionals handling large vessels as a sole means of navigation, but then again, thats not the purpose of the app. Overall its a great app for vessel tracking and recording and for the yachty or weekend navigator!

Some bad moments

Impossible to recover previously purchased chart folios. Impossible to use this new version, and no way to recover previous version !!!
Since the new version Of IOS 7.2 installed the app doesnt work anymore ! I can opening the prog but no purchased charts even you have restore them and ré installed will Works ! .... Please upgrade the software , to be usefull with IOS 7 2 .
I hereby to inform that the ISailor program is booting at all times in my IPad Air, could you confirm if everything is ok with the software for the new IOS 8.1? Regards, Ender Almeida
Out of a recommendation in a sailing shop about its nice map view, i installed this app for my 3 months sailing in the Netherlands. I got disappointed that the track recording stopped when the phone got into energy saving mode, which is not the case for another charting app. In addition, it is missing info about high/low tides which is helpful when navigating in the North Sea. instead the display of navigational lights,lighthouses is nicely displayed, while depths are not rely on. The information on marinas and harbours is not sufficient.
If you have purchased charts please rate and review this app I am too chicken to spend the $24 on the charts without knowing if its good or not.
The free maps are looking good, but after paying 24.99 for one set maps its not what it should be I give it a one out ten.

Usually Wärtsilä iSailor iOS app used & searched for

tide chart, great lakes, current tide, and other. So, download free Wärtsilä iSailor .ipa to run this nice iOS application on iPhone and iPad.
