No bueno on iPad
This app looked so promising to me. So I purchased it, downloaded it. And all it does is show a very basic map. Oh, I can pan over to the Atlantic but it literally shows nothing more than my iPad’s Maps app does. Less in fact! I sure hope I missed something, but I don’t think so. Ugh!

Appears to only be for offshore
I bought hoping to get more insights on bays e.g. Tampa Bay and also rivers. No such luck with this app. If you go offshore, seems alright. I don’t go offshore, so this app is useless for me.
