Paid premium for the route planner option. It does not even work.
★★★★ Ian Clapham 8/16/2024 v5.32.1
This is ridiculous! I have just upgraded to Premium, and now cannot open the app! Tap the icon and instantly an ad appears for SailTides app, with no way round it. How do I get back into the app?
★★★★ Francesco Ingravallo 3/31/2024 v5.29.1
Unfortunately this very nice App just became unstable and one cannot access the personal account any more.
★★★★ Andy Pag 3/19/2024 v5.29.0
Paid for premium and the download tool is still atrocious. In many cases unusable on both phone and tablet. Please sort it out.

★★★★ Kevin Welch 3/6/2023 v5.24.0
Much better apps out there for free
★★★★ Dave Dase 10/10/2022 v5.23.4
Yet another account required to use an app, why
★★★★ Ictac 4/25/2022
Downloaded the app but have been unable to add a credit card payment method via Google. Tried for an hour and then gave up. Shame everything runs via Google. I'd rather sail with a sextant than give these guys my hard-earned money.
★★★★★ Hae Versn 12/10/2025 v5.41.6
Worked well for years and since latest update not: When clicking on a marina or anchorage it freezes
★★★★★ Olaf Becker 8/17/2025 v5.41.1
Unfortunately, the app is often completely wrong when it comes to predicting how safe a particular bay is. Even on the same day, adjustments are made and then the bay that was ok for the day in the morning is no longer safe in the afternoon. Not very helpful. The reports from people who have already been to the bay in question are interesting.
★★★★★ Jamie Dicker 9/3/2023 v5.27.2
Was good but it stopped working constantly saying I was offline !! Updated app then got maps back but no info !!!
★★★★★ SANDRO MONTEBELLO 7/18/2023 v5.26.4
App is great but keeps on getting stuck, repeated logins required, error messages coming up. Very frustrating.
★★★★★ Mecu Landia 2/22/2023 v5.24.0
Upset about having subscribed to Navily Premium, as I had assumed i could download the same maps I was looking at while online. Turns out I can only download a Very basic street view map (not satellite as I had hoped) , and i cant even zoom in enough. Great app to use for free, i don't recommend the payed option.
★★★★★ Ray Ubik 9/15/2022 v5.23.4
I bought the premium only because of the offshore feature. Unfortunately: - there is no way (or I didn't find it) to select to store the offshore maps and information on the SD card, so it goes on the main memory taking rapidly to much space. - the map selection interface is poor, with no resize and depends deeply of the orientation of the screen.
★★★★★ Katarina Percinic 8/4/2022
Minimalno do beskorisno ako se ne plati. Pokazuje kartu ali sve ostale opcije su zakljucane dok se ne plati.
