The "map" is really just a crude pic of the US that disappears and goes black as soon as you try to zoom in.

I was using c-map before but after using this I'll never go back. I like that the maps are a yearly fee and the app doesn't require you to subscribe. I also haven't encountered an issue with the app signing me out randomly while I'm in he backcountry. The GPS is also more reliable on this app.

***Update: Still no response from Tech Support so i changed review down to 2 stars*** The app will not open on my Samsung Note 10+ 5G with Android version 12. The Aqua app starts to initialize and quickly fails/closes. After 2 attempts to open, I received an error message from either my phone or Google Play store. Please help, I'd like to use Aqua Maps for my next sailing trip. Thank you
