iSailor is an easy-to-use navigational system developed for the amateur seafarers. The application operates on iPhones and iPads utilizing built-in GPS. Intended for use on boats and yachts, iSailor provides a clear presentation of navigation information and ...
I dont understand the negative reviews The app is free and the digital charts are very reasonably priced especially since the Navionics Hot Map for my Lowrance chart plotter cost me 135 at least for the NY Finger Lakes where I do my boating The app runs smoothly and has all the features that would be needed for inland waters I wouldnt try a TRANSPAC with just this app but cmon be reasonable Good way to get started with electronic navigation The only reason I didnt give it 5 stars is that the small screen on my iPhone 6 is a bit limiting              Inexpensive GPS chart plotter
I did use this app on Ipad for my sailing from Stavanger Norway to Iceland Westfjords last year 2014 it is a great software for this i did stop in Faroes and Shetland Islands and the charts where all the time very accurateI have Navionis too but i did not use it for this trip Isailor is much better only one thing i would like to see is that i would like to see some support for Raymarine WIFish in the future would make this app PERFECT                 Fantastic app
I used this for the first time last night and I was impressed I couldnt believe the number of very shallow locations right out in the middle of the river that I had no idea were there I tested it and it guided me right back between the channel markers to take me back into the marina The only downside is that you have to load the entire Canadian St Lawrence River chart for 2500 when all I really needed was one or two segments of that chart set Regardless this seems to work well Im going to test out the tracking feature later It also helped verify that my boat speedometer is pretty accurate which I always wondered about Now I want to see how far my trips are and what kind of gas mileage Im getting It should be a breeze with this app              Found it very useful
I am out in my sailboat all through the summer Ive worked my way through paper charts and RDF technology Loran early garmin Nothing can compare to your Transas isailor I use my phone while sailing and layout trips on my iPad Your attention to detail is unequaled and the simplicity of use is unbelievable Thank you for lazy summer days and not running aground                 Super app
Log my cruises with this app Great to look at the map and see exactly where I was with speeds and headings as markers Thanks for a great app with top of the world support                 Awesome program
The only app I could find in the store with detailed charts of Hong Kong so obv a major plus for that I love the usability of the interface they have a very good guide to get you going and then from there you can get the hang of it pretty easy As other reviewer stated I would like auto routing as manually doing it can be pretty tedious That said you can copy routes and adjust from those plus a lot of nav apps dont do auto routing well because of depth and other restrictions fouling it up The charts are outstanding the level of detail and quality of information is top notch I actually like this app better than my Garmin hardware chartplotter that I use on a different vessel and this app was a fraction of the price Dont be deterred by the negative reviews on here I think the developer got it right in terms of offering balance between features you may or may not need                 Very good app and charts
Not sure what Hula Girls talking about Im using vector based charts on the US West coast for 499 Works perfectly for me              Works Great
I have worked with many navigation programsboth marine and aviation iSailor is an incredible value The user interface is one of the best I have encountered and I speak as someone that recently retired from an software design career where I was often hired to assist with improving the user interface design of technical products One such product was an aviation flight planner The documentation has answered all my questions and I have not had any problems running on 08 The manual covers how to restore the app and inapp purchases which is more of an Apple function anyway so the negative review on that seems unwarranted It is going with me on a 10 day bareboat charter next January                 Excellent Product
After update all purchased charts and routes are LOST It impossible to regain the purchased charts OR reach these developers This app and the folks behind it are a hazard to navigation     Do not waste your time with this
Thanks for a Awesome App that is so very helpful to us Senior sailors Its easy to use and understand A great supplement to any method one might utilize for Navigation Thanks again for supporting our marine community SV Waterwings                 Awesome App
Cool app                 Good
This app is the best navigational tool which Ive ever seen before There are no bugs in it all features are well synchronized and quality is amazing I will recommend it to my friends                 Very professional app
Well done my friends I mistakingly veered from an LBI NJ chart and ripped off my skeg Ive found your depths to be a bit off on average but not in channels Should have payed more attention to iSailor that day              Great Navigation
AIS option is minutes delayed in busy harbor Not worth the money I purchased The 15 subscription to Internet AIS     AIS
This app is very nice and helps navigating waters beyond my expectations                 Very nice
I purchased the Atlantic chart My 12 year old grand son knows more about the waters than the tiny and I do mean tiny amount of information on a paid for chart through this app WORTHLESS     Piece of crap
Ok I wrote my last review regarding this App thinking my problems were a result of iSailor It turns out that the IOS 83 upgrade has a bug in it which interferes with all external GPSs As a result when my iPad automatically updated its IOS I lost iSailor It was NOT their fault But I did blame them My Bad I am back to loving this App Now all I have to do is wait for Apple to resolve their problem so I can use it again                 Problem not solved but known
Worked like a charm on iphone 5 and iOS 7 Dies not work at all on iPhone 6 and iOS 8     Is not working on iOS 8
We bought iSailor for my iPhone and iPad instead of a backup standalone GPS system for a Mediterranean sailing trip Ive never used their competitor but for about 120 the price I got all the functionality I needed Aside from using the boats builtin GPS system for the autopilot we used iSailor all the time It was easier had more features and was more accurate And as a bonus for just a few dollars more I can add charts from just about anywhere I would ever need The charts have been accurate and uptodate Aside from a few hitches during updates we have been completely satisfied                 Does what we need and does it well
Super nice app Very helpful                 Great app
Start using Transas back in 95 come a long way getting better and better all the time Gone through some growing pains but worth the problems overall Resent update has an export glitch which Im sure will get resolved soon Excellent app and very useful for passages with weather integration with Weather Track                 Top notch Nav tool
Works as intended Thanks for the update Its fully mission capable                 Thanks for the update
Easy to get started Has all of the advance features you would need The chart detail is amazing                 Has it all
Needs updates Poor detail     Not accurate I drive tracks over land masses
Would like to see the next update include mph as an option for speed rather than kph and knots Would like to see sat image overlay to enhance the map                 Almost the best app
Update 171 cures issues in earlier version on iOS 8x Great value very accurate fun to use                 Great App
Ive been using this app for 25 years and it has worked flawlessly The charts are frequently updated and have never steered me wrong The app has been very reliable and although its not supposed to be used as a sole navigational tool it has helped me get out of more tricky jams than I care to admit I use it to navigate the ICWW and various channels to access the Atlantic Ive not gone out to sea with it but I can highly recommend the app for anyone looking for a nearshore navigational augment                 Great app for novice boater
I recently paid the 16 for the internet AIS what a waste of I work and play on the water in Corpus Christi TX the 5th busiest port in the US as well as home to thousands of pleasure boats It comes in intermittently and when it does pick up a target it is at least 30 min behind I also use the Marine Traffic AIS app and while it has a 15 min lag it always shows all the AIS equipped traffic Just wish that ISailor had picked this group to merge with I contacted both ISailor and Pocket about this and they offered to help ME set up a receivertransmitter to improve there service Dont know how you could check to see if it will work good in your area before you spend the but its hard to get it back if your unhappy     New internet AIS
Sailed 100s of miles using this program Its not perfect but its cheap and powerful if youre willing to dig in and learn a bit Love it                 Amazing program for sailors
The latest v171 update cures the iPhone 6 problems Works as intended and charting is super now Obviously this program needs updating iOS 8 and the 64x architecture have rendered this app useless Upgraded to a new iPhone 6 and all I get now is a frozen screen with no sidebar or chart It still works fine on an older iPad 2 Transashow about an update                 Doesnt work on iPhone 6
Update 171 works very good on my iphone 5c with iOS 81 Was easy to load and does a nice job Does Not Work I did not think another review could be true that iSailor 17 would not run in iOS 81 I downloaded the APP and one map area USA Pacific WA for 5 Everything loaded OK The APP wants to run but will not display a map It only displays a gray screen with the scale of miles at 1 ft for about 12 inch of screen The GPS is alive and tells COGSOG if I walk around Ant the lower menu also pops up where all the settings are After 4 hrs of tinkering and reading I gave up asnd sent an email inquiry to Support Sure hope I get it to work as the APP seems to have potential              Engineer
I use this regularly while sailing in the Chesapeake and occasionally in the Mediterranean It has been a very useful tool and has all the functionality you would expect from an expensive onboard GPS nav system Highly recommended                 Awesome sailing app
Great app inexpensive charts il and the current information is great for planning trips around the golden gate              Rarely leave the dock without it
I use this app on my iPad along with my chart plotter on my boatI wont leave the dock without it its packed with lots of bells and whistles that Im still figuring out Well worth the money for the charts                 Great navigational tool
You have to be an engineer who designed this to understand Horrible User Interface and very costly maps and once you buy and download they dont work There are better ones This is overrated     Absolutely useless
Easy to use A lot more features than Navionics for less                 Really great app
The app is easy to use and I like the UI The biggest issue I have is with the charts When you get to the level of markerbuoy names those details seem to be missing When I plot a course I have to refer to a NOAA chart to get the name and confirm the course I do this anyway but should not have to I wish I could choose the chart provider           Chart detail missing
Very nice and easy to use                 Rate
Dont be fooled by the cheap prices in the inapp purchases list They get around that with unlock features Want full NMEA support Thats another 33 AIS Another 10 I didnt bother to see what else I would have to unlock Delete     Dont be fooled its not cheap
The recent inclusion of the tides and currents means I can stay in iSailor for all my nav and planning I especially like the display of currents for all stations in the map view And being able to see future currents helps planning for currents throughout the day                 Just keeps getting better
This app is quickly becoming my favorite Nav app on my 30 sailboat Its extremely well laid out and everything seems to be exactly where I want it to be I like route planing to be a little easier Perhaps follow my finger style And Id like Active Captain integration Add those two things and Id delete all the other Nav apps I have              Fantastic Nav App
Great app The app alone makes owning an iPad worth it Especially like the cross track error display and ability to set the boundaries I can not think of one improvement and I use this all the time for recreation and commercial fishing                 Alaska Fisherman
After downloading this App it was apparent that most all of the positive reviews were obviously false This App consistently charges you more and more until you finally just give up in frustration If I could give this negative stars I would     They use Bait and Switch Tactics
Loved it before but iOS 81 has caused screen to show only grey The little handle to bring up the bottom control panels also doesnt show You can bring it up if careful to not bring up the iPhone panel As the other review said the gps works heading works can buy and load maps bought 2 today for trip but no main map shows PLEASE FIX              Same problem no maps in 81
Please update the app for iOS 8 I cant use this at all anymore     Doesnt work after iOS 8 keeps crashing
Caution make sure you have a cellular iPad before purchasing this app Wifi only iPads do not have built in GPS This app will NOT work out in the ocean with wifi only iPad Good app otherwise                 Good app only works with cellular iPads
Charts detailed and accurate Controls are intuitive easy to understand and use Good job                 Outstanding
Compared to a standard horizon chartplotter and inavx which I used to use iSailor is a dream My favorite way to navigate by far I can pan and zoom so quickly I feel that in tight nav situations its a significant safety feature Compare this to inavx or the chartplotter where panning and zooming are slow and cumbersome and take your attention away from operating the boat                 Best nav app out there
I have been using iSailor for about a year now My family just completed a 10 day trip from Hampton VA to Washington DC and back with zero issues from iSailor I use the software on our ipad and iphone One of my favorite features is the anchor watch One night at anchor it was gusting to 40 knots I plugged in my iphone set the anchor alarm and placed it next to my head Slept without a worry Back in November I was with a friend bringing back his latest purchase an early 80s Catalina We ran aground because he never bothered to check when the chart plotter maps had been updated Turns out they were 8 years old I should have had iSailor out on my ipad but I didnt When I did pull the ipad out iSailor was accurate we had run right into a shoal We used iSailor the rest of the trip without incident Wonderful app that I trust and will continue to use                 Wonderful app that has more than paid for itself
Writing to echo previous posts about the absence of map view on iPhone PLEASE FIX SOON     Gray screen of death in iOS 81
