"How many times do I have to pay? Just spent a grand on a new B&G chart plotter with Cmaps. I believed the marketing that I could do advance planning and sync. Now everything`s ``premium``and no sign of maps on the app (which I struggled to connect). Not a happy customer."

"Not possible to establish a connection to a Vulcan 5 (updated firmware). As other users wrote: after going through the connection steps, the Vulcan finally does not show up in the list of connected devices. You can do the procedure over and over again with no result or error message. What do you need to detect the error?"

"Cannot register my devices, already registered previously, no way to reset and support does not answer in the chat (which B&G declares to do within 2 days). Clearly Navico is a hardware company that did not figure out yet how to service consumers directly."

"I was happy with it at first, however in order to sign into the app you must have an internet connection. Once signed in the connection is no longer needed. I had to reboot and then needed internet to get back in. Unacceptable if I depend on it. The good news. The chart download is very flexible and the charts are clear and can be zoomed in as much as you want. It offered contour lines as an option which made depths very clear. Routes are easy. Create a start & finish the app does the rest."

"I have a lot of B&G equipment on my boat. A big fan of the products. This app, not so much. Pretty much nothing works. Have deleted it and re-installed a few times. Now I have a blank map screen. If I go into select menu items (usually download offline maps) the app closed. I know from experience, if the app closes enough times, the maps show up (not always complete however) Nothing works consistently. IF the maps show up, not all the channel markers show up . Woods hole has a sea of channel markers. None are showing up at all now. Sometimes only shows a chart segment of a select area. See like 18 boats on AIS. I KNOW there are a TON of boats with AIS on nearby ( I can see in other apps) . Using (at this writing) a new Galaxy S21 Ultra. Plenty of power and space on the device. Nice to see my plotter data here. I wish i could see details about map items in a popup (like channel marker details, etc) Been playing with the app for a couple hours. Can`t get it to work with any consistency. Maybe it is me, but there is no way this could be a chartplotter replacement. Can be useful for updating chart items (waypoints, etc) It should not be this hard. Rebooted and cleared data several times. Not ready for prime time, sadly. I really wanted this app to work."

"Says it`s compatible with Zeus 2 but will not register the MFD. I followed the instructions that says to reset the registration but it still fails. In one of the responses from the developer, they say it isn`t compatible with Zeus 2 yet the description says it is. Amateurs."

"Premium chartplotter with the crappiest app ever. I can`t sync with the plotter. Even though I`m connected to the plotter`s hotspot, app can`t find the device and asks me to retry wifi connection. Retry what, wifi is connected. iPad apps works find but android is a joke. And there is no support number either in the app or b&g website. I can`t even submit support question in the app; I get submit error."

"The app on my Moto G6 keeps on disconnecting from my Zeus 3 so this makes it useless. Not sure the culprit is the app or the Zeus. When connected there is also a big lag. I could not find the Help & Feedback option within the app!!!"
