Running very slow and locking up. When I sync to HDS pro 10, the HDS loses all the trails, so I am trying to delete trails in app. Cannot delete all at once,locks-up. Takes 4.30 to delete one trail Don't think I'll be using this app after trial period.

Immediate "connection failure" message when trying to add ghost to app account , so a software update could be done...Worthless

I am trying to register my device, and when I scan the qr code, it tells me I need the app to continue. I downloaded the app, and have made it to the point where it is telling me to scan the qr code (place the qr code within a box on the screen in the app), but the app never accepts the qr code. It is difficult to get it to scan the qr code, and then I guess when it finally does, I receive this message: "The QR code information could not be validated." Called support and they are closed.

OK app and good to lool at charts. Major complaint seems to be Some bug when trying to manually enter in coordinates. It seems to disable numbers from being entered into the number pad, yet if you manually go to the area on the map, it shows the coordinates that you are unable to enter in the number pad!

Lake jocassee in south Carolina needs a major rehaul of graphing. I spent hours on the map marking certain points and depths. Over 100 waypoints and when I got out there for the tournament the map said 14 ft of water and the sonar showed 60 ft. Great app otherwise but jocassee needs some major love

7/9/24. All data got erased out of the blue? All my marked fishing spots are gone. Why?********* Worst app i ever used!! INCLUDE MEASURING 2 POINT DISTANCE RULER! When im choosing wave height, gusts, wind, etc..it changes grounds background color without showing any data,??? Why doesn't it shows wave height? Water temps? And all other data? It shows arrows for wind but doesnt say how fast wind will be wow, im using subscribed version. None of the "how to" works.

It was great to start with. until 1 afternoon out on the water, I was head to a favourite spot, and it did a system upgrade and I lost over 470 waypoints of the unit and phone with our any warnings that it was going to do so. I had seen you could recover your way points via the app that's not the case on the Australian version. From now on, I put a 2nd sd card in before it decided to do any type of upgrade or updates to the unit . Because once the waypoints are deleted, they are gone for good

Spams notifications. Even though push notifications are turned off in the app, it displayed a bunch of notifications trying to sell the premium subscription. Doesn't matter what the subscription does, if the app can't follow it's own settings, there's no way I'm paying this company more money. Help & Feedback section of app hangs when trying to submit feedback.

Junk! Could not get it to scan QR code to register device. Can't really use any "free" features since the screen is covered by ads to upgrade to premium. Worse click bait I have seen in an app. I already paid for your device. Let me use the app you forced me to download without scamming me for additional money...
