    Sync fails most of the time, it deleted all my routes and waypoint multiple times. Never buy B&G

    Great tool for sure, it’s highly unfortunate it requires me to authenticate to use it from time to time, and when I’m offshore that makes it completely useless. Great when you are shoreside at the dock, but can’t trust it’ll not prompt me for a login while offshore.
  • Love the sync

    I love being able to plan my route, waypoints and check the weather on my iPad in the cabin or home and sync to my Zeus3s at the helm. Great app
  • Abysmal, Dangerous and Utterly Useless

    This is hands down the most disappointing thing I have ever seen from B&G. It feels like this app was developed by someone who has never actually navigated a boat. The route planning function is completely and totally useless. They tried to make this app simple by removing functions and letting the app decide things for the user. Planning a route is something that requires detail and precision. Hire a new app development company B&G. You can do better.
  • Trouble with logging in

    This app is great while it works but then suddenly I can’t log in to my account from any devices. That is trouble when you started to rely upon it. They have to do a lot of work on the reliability of the app. So disappointed!
  • App locks up. Useless

    New boat with 3 Zeus glass. Really ? You want 15$ subscription? Didn’t pay enough for the chart plotters. App crashes and won’t connect to the WiFi of one unit without logging out of the other and dropping the WiFi they were all connected to.

  • Unusable while on the way

    I really tried to like this app since all my instruments are B&G. However trying to update offline maps on a new iPad is impossible. Even on a 1GB internet connection at home it takes days to download the US East Coast maps. Imagine trying this while on the way with marginal internet. I flagged this once before with no reaction and even after multiple updates of the app it has not gotten better. Navionics is doing a much better job, so does Orca. B&G, Downloads are not rocket science PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE
  • Can not connect to zeus2

    The app appears to be what I’m looking for. However, I can’t confirm because all of my efforts to connect it to my Zeus2 plotter have been unsuccessful. The app recognizes it, bu never adds it. My calls to get help go into a waiting list that never seems to move. There is no easy way to get help. No troubleshooting suggestions.
  • Can’t load on iPad IOS v12.5.7

    Trying to use on an old iPad mini. I can install, but app dies after initial B&G display screen. App info suggests it should run on iOS 12 and later. My iPad has 12.5.7
