Lowrance: app for anglers
authentic ratingPeople love the depth maps and being able to plan a trip at home, then push waypoints to the Lowrance sonar on the boat. Stability keeps breaking: crashes when opening the map, waypoints vanishing after a sync, freezes during basic navigation. They also removed the water-level adjustment that was the whole reason to pay.
Reviews are detailed and technical: the app crashes loading the map, the boat icon disappears, a sync deleted 3500 waypoints, they removed water-level adjustment, it will not connect to Ghost and Live units. The five-star notes are specific about trip planning and unit transfer. The gap between storeAvg 4.55 and textAvg 3.19 comes from real instability, not faked ratings.
