One-Boat Network Reviews

by Thad Miller

If you ever bought a single lake map on the fish smart app you will loose them. If you download this you will loose all of those purchases. I emailed Humminbird and they basically said you have to keep OneBoatNetwork to have them, but you can’t redownload it if you get a new phone. Or you can download them on a computer, which does a lot of good on a lake. It’s kinda like buying a product and then a new version comes out and they take it away and leave you with nothing. I’m just disappointed. Probably won’t buy any more Humminbird stuff cuz I don’t want to spend a few hundred dollars and not get to use the product I purchased.

I’ve used the legacy Humminbird FishSmart app for a few years and loved it. I used it to mark all my favorite spots and could add notes to each location. It wasn’t flawless, but it worked. I no longer needed to keep handwritten note for my waypoints, everything could be kept in OneBoatNetwork . Then Humminbird announced FishSmart would no longer be supported or updated, so I purchased the One-Boat Network app, which is the replacement for the old FishSmart app. The new app seems ok, but there is no, currently working, way to transfer my waypoints from FishSmart to One-Boat on my iPhone. If transferring doesn’t work, I would be forced to manually enter my hundreds of waypoints and notes into the new app. Humminbird’s customer service acknowledges the issue and says the issue has been escalated to their lead and engineering, but they have no timeline for a fix. I’ve been waiting for a fix since early March and it’s currently mid-May. I’m very disappointed, to say the least.

Charts will not load on my iPad!! Also, I emailed the support email given in OneBoatNetwork and got an “invalid email” in return. Pointed me to a Minn Kota Motors support page where you need to enter your trolling motor’s serial number to submit a support request.

They need to take some time and get this ready for ongoing support. Right now it’s a very iffy app for charts.

Garbage. Took my FS map that I paid for and dumped it when I downloaded this new app. Tried the free trial on OneBoatNetwork and can’t even download the new map. So they took away my paid map and made this trash I can’t even use. I’m so ready to dump this lousy company for garmin.

The website states that OneBoatNetwork is compatible with all trolling motors with Bluetooth from 2017 and beyond. That is a lie it won’t connect to anything made before 2023. The website still states it’s compatible to this day even after calling and complaining about the issue. Very disappointing. The i-Pilot link app looks like it hadn’t been touched in years the interface is so outdated.

Have yet to find a use for OneBoatNetwork. 12” solix has a better screen for mapping and charts. Remote for the ulterra lets me do everything I want. Updating the sw would be useful except I’m limited to using Bluetooth even though I’m connected to solix WiFi hotspots. So OneBoatNetwork looks nice, but honestly kind of worthless. 🤷‍♂️

OneBoatNetwork constantly crashes. I can’t even get to the map to view anything. I had it crash so hard, it reset my background wallpaper. Seems like there are some bugs that need to be fixed.

Paid 25$ and now it just loads without opening maps. Worst app on my phone. Rushed as always humminbird

I have installed OneBoatNetwork twice and it will only stay open a few seconds. I also paid for the yearly subscription. It keeps crashing. Glad I didn’t wait till I was on the lake to start using it.

I want to like OneBoatNetwork, especially considering that it seems lakemaster maps are more accurate than navionics.

However, I cannot seem to get the charts to load, even after purchasing the yearly map subscription. I press Chart Viewer and the screen more or less freezes with a preparing charts load screen.

I have the most recent version of OneBoatNetwork and I have restarted my device multiple times. Please help me resolve this issue otherwise I will have to request a refund.

I can’t have OneBoatNetwork open for more than 10 seconds without it crashing, tried deleting it and re installing multiple times but does not help. App was great before this started happening though.

If OneBoatNetwork worked as advertised it would be 5 stars easy. App works until you are Bluetooth connected to your fish finders and as soon as you open the update screen OneBoatNetwork crashes, also as soon as I click to view charts to stays on the loading screens and never loads. Great concept, bad execution. Just something else to note, the update screen crashes didn’t happen until after I was able to use OneBoatNetwork to update my fish finders and trolling motor. I tried redownloading OneBoatNetwork several times and it does not change

Need to fix this glitch

I have the Minn Kota Ultera with the ipilot link feature but the One-Boat Network app doesn’t connect to the Ultera only to learn OneBoatNetwork is not compatible with trolling motors with ipilot link? Is this true and if so why?

Works on my iPhone, but not on my iPad.

One-boat is by far the best fishing app in the industry! The clarity and accuracy of the maps out performs the competition. I would highly recommend for any fishing angler.

I used FishSmart previously and so far this blows it out of the water (pun intended). $25/year for access to ALL the maps is incredible, and the detail is unbelievable. Very excited to see how the Bluetooth data transfer features work since FishSmart was pretty buggy. Very happy with this new app so far. Well done!!

by Sam Hol

I’ve found tons of new fishing spots just sitting on my couch at home! This has made scouting so much easier for me, and these online charts compete with any fish finder on the market.

Been waiting for this to drop and couldn’t be happier. Offline maps in areas we don’t get service and with no other handheld able to utilize these maps, I couldn’t be happier to have this on my phone. Thank you!

by Tomschultzy

So glad to have all the lakes I fish in hd in one subscription! The shaded relief is really cool, I’m already picking out new spots to fish. Excited to try the offline maps ice fishing 20 miles out on Lake of the Woods where there’s no cell service.

OneBoatNetwork is the most useful off the water and on the water fishing tool. My father and I had so much fun, eating breakfast the day before our fishing trip plotting and planning every spot. Good times and tight lines!

by MattLinn

I recently downloaded this and bought the year subscription. OneBoatNetwork is an absolute game changer. I had the old “FishSmart” Humminbird app and this one blows it out of the water. Instead of buying each lake map for $10, you gain access to every lake map for $25. I was able to target fish on multiple different lakes that I’ve never fished and found them because of One-Boat. If you’re an avid angler this is a MUST have.

by Mikey92746274

OneBoatNetwork is fantastic because for only a small fee you get access to all the lake maps instead of purchasing them individually. The level of detail is incredible yet very intuitive. You can tell the devs put a lot of work into this one. Highly recommend!

by Emmett12

This is an Anglers must have app. See your waypoints, account new areas, mark new waypoints. Have it all on your depth finder ready to go. OneBoatNetwork is awesome, hands down a game changer and won’t disappoint!

Long time navionics user here. Really stoked that I can connect to my Helix 7 and do all my prep work / waypoint discovery and general map study offline and be able to pair directly with my unit. In my kayak I use my phone with Coastmaster VX mapping as my main GPS / navigation in tandem with my Helix 7 for side imaging and up & down graphing. Nice work Humminbird!

by CLG1995

I Was referred to OneBoatNetwork by a good fishing buddy of mine. I am religious about studying satellite views as well as keying in on certain depths to target patterns throughout the year. OneBoatNetwork offers both, and more. Highlight the depth zone, zoom out on satellite to see bottom content, you name it. It’s all in one and at the tip of your finger.

by TK North

Much better than Navionics, can’t wait to sync to my phone. Very intuitive and what you’d expect from Humminbird.

Worked through some issues, seems to work ok.

OneBoatNetwork is great, user friendly and very detailed if I could 6 starts out of 5 I would!
