AIS Maps Reviews

You pay then you get advertising for more pay in-app purchases…..Garbage!

I have used this application for about six months. I originally downloaded the free version. It was quite accurate and easy to use. Because it worked so well, I decided to purchase the full app with a couple of add ons. All I can say is... Save your money!! Barely useable, freezes, crashes and a total waste of money.. I’m using a new IPhone 10max so it should work fine with zero problems... I wish this were the case..
I’m sure there are much better chart, maps, & plotters out there... pass on this one until it works...

AISMaps is good only if you have an Internet connection which is going to hard when you are out on the water with a standard iPad or in an area that has no cell coverage. The in app purchases charge your card but never download to the device. Every time you click on "restore purchases" it asks for the apple id and then does nothing. If you go back and try and buy the map again it says that "You have already purchased this map but it has not been downloaded yet". BUT YOU CAN'T DOWNLOAD IT EITHER BY RESTORING THE INITIAL PURCHASE. Scam!!

Can’t get to show lake contour, only shows blue with no depth contour. Paid extra and nothing.

Despite many hours of effort and several emails to support, AISMaps remained completely nonfunctional. It does not support offline maps, making it worthless for bringing on a boat. Most of the "features" like map rotation and distance measuring don't work at all. I don't believe I've ever seen such a completely nonfunctional app. Save your money.

Based upon all the positive reviews I downloaded AISMaps & purchased the MN map set. The popular north metro lake I was going to fish had no contours, nothing. Looking at some lakes that had information, it was no better than the DNR maps. I removed AISMaps after one day.

This apps is terrible don’t waste your money.

Basic phone maps more useful, all functionality requires upgrade to “Pro” version

AISMaps works okay and the fishing chart I downloaded (paid) is good value and good detail.

A few things to help the developer would be:

Landscape mode really doesn't work well. Text wraps on the opening screen. The compass doesn't adjust and is always 90' out in landscape.

The program crashes every now and then.

I was not able to find the chart I paid to download after the first crash. Even trying to re-download I had some issues, but eventually got the chart back by selecting it from a list view of maps and charts. Not very intuitive or user friendly.

In general it has the foundation of a great app for boating and fishing. With some tweaks and improved interface to make it more slick, this could be a great app.

offline is working very fast, at least my chart

improve the routing

I really like the Flyto maps because you can use them with the offline maps when you are out of cell coverage. I do a lot of SCUBA diving and most of the dive sites are well out of cellphone coverage so the standard map programs are useless. There is a good marking feature so you can mark points of interest. The route function will give you bearing and ETA which is very useful.

it works outside US

Very detailed offline chart in my area Tampa.

I was not sure about the AIS feature without AIS receiver but it works

We had to spread my fathers ashes at sea. AISMaps let me plot out the course, get to my waypoint, and get back. I was able to save the location, too. The best part I didn’t expect is this long, red line that extends out from my vessel on the map. It shows very clearly my heading in relation to everything else around me. Really cool. Thanks devs

fishing around the keys, a good alternative free of cost
by the way ..I like the weather and AIS info

I share AISMaps and the cost with my two friends, works great

It works well, offering all the features I need at a reasonable cost without a subscription. I particularly appreciate the weather forecast feature, which allows me to view forecasts for any location.

Awesome support
