1. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Lies. I was trying to update my Ghost trolling motor. I had some hesitation because I didn’t want to pay $15 to update my motor. The app says you get a free trial period. Well the app would not connect to my trolling motor and they lied about the free trial period. So I paid $15 for software that didn’t work. Not happy.

2. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   App. Been a paying customer for multiple years. Cancelled subscription recently because I cannot get app to work on my phone! Cannot get it figured out can’t find out how to get any help !

3. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   App crashes 1000% of time on IOS. Horrifically unstable.

4. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Deceptive advertising. No disclosure of price; companies collect data prior to their willingness to disclose the price of the program. I believe that this may violate FTC standards.

   Cannot connect ghost trolling motor to the app. I’ve tried everything I’ve been told so far. When I go to the Lowrance app to add my ghost it just gets stuck on the loading screen. When I try to pair the trolling motor directly to my phone it doesn’t show up (yes I put the pedal into configuration and enter Bluetooth pairing mode) I’ve spent 5 hours on this and lost my entire Labor Day weekend of fishing. Absolute bummer from a 3+ thousand dollar unit

   Terrible app. Still sucks. Really appreciate all the effort Lowrance is putting in.

7. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Not fixed yet keep working!. Trying to update my ghost trolling motor. Will not let me add trolling motor just buffers. Putting second heading sensor in less than 6 months. Poor quality Lowrance!!

8. ★★★★★inaccurate results and incorrect data

   Barely works. Won’t display scanned charts, stuck with the built in inaccurate ones. Can’t open settings. Can’t even file a help request because “an unknown error” occurs when you try. -Garbage!

9. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Doesn’t work. The app hasn’t worked in months fix it

10. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    HDS 12 Gen3. This app won’t allow me to add my HDS 12 Gen3 in order to sync. Extremely disappointing!

11. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Trash app. Where to start but to say it is VERY buggy. Switches from satellite to ‘cartoon’ view on its own. You can’t assign different colors to different depths without a major cussing. Overall it sucks beyond words. Lowrance, fix your app or remove it from existence.

12. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Stopped Working!!!. This app….oh man. Not good!!!!! Too much to type, but after everything that has failed to work on this app….now I’m assuming your company just recently did an auto update and absolutely nothing works now!!!! I mean nothing. No one foot contours, hell no 5’ contours. Nothing. Blank lakes. Nothing. My subscription ends in less than 30 days. Thank the Lord!!! PS….the offline mapping never worked, ever. Also, your gps coordinates never worked either. Going back to Navionics!!!

13. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Broken. No app support.. Turn on HRB and Genesis and nothing happens. Will not show details or depths. Link for app support doesn’t apply to this app. Useless.

14. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Basically a scam at this point. Bought the year subscription and now the app just crashes on launch every time. My phone isn’t even old it’s an iPhone air.. Avoid until they actually fix the app

15. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Constantly crashes. App crashes. Won’t even load charts

16. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Immediate Boot From App. I’ve paid $14.99 for the year and can’t even use the app. As soon as I open the app, it boots me off immediately. What a waste of money.

17. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Not a Good App. I downloaded this app and paid the yearly fee, and I can’t even open the app without it shutting down over and over. Can’t even log on to get help, very disappointed

18. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Unuseable. Crashes upon opening in ios 26.1

19. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Crashes. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled. Phone is up to date. Will not load. Save your money

20. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    This app got bad, needs fixed asap.. Can’t even use it anymore. The app closes right after opening it. And I’m paying for it.

21. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Constant crashing. Paid for the premium version and can’t even use it regularly because the app will crash on startup and get stuck in this loop. Tried reinstalling, clearing caches, and nothing. When the app does load, the units are off, the map types get switched around, etc. Way too many issues, especially for a paid app.

22. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    User. App crashes as soon as I open it

23. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Pretty awful. Downloaded the app, primarily for product registration and software update. You can download the software updates, but you can’t transfer the data to your machine. It requires a proprietary lowrance wi-fi connection, which won’t connect you to your machine, and prevents you from accessing the internet via cellular data. Overall this product is pretty useless.

24. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Buggy and Slow. App crashes regularly, settings reset and change randomly. Nearly useless as a resource.

25. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Looks like child’s drawing. No detail. I have enabled HBC and adjusted every available setting and it makes no change to the map detail. Has 2 or 3 contours for the whole river. Absolute garbage. I bought because I have Lowrance HDS Live units and wanted to look for fishing spots on my phone but this app is worthless. DO NOT BUY.

26. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Crashing!. Crashing before update installation! Any updates in the future? Any tech support? Hollow echo chamber!!

27. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Crashes. The app is crashing every time I open it now. I've never been too happy with it even when it worked. Navionics is the way to go.

28. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Won’t even open!!. I pay for the subscription but it just closes immediately. Buy anything other.

29. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    App crashes. App constantly crashes after opening. Charts are not the best compared to others i have seen.

30. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Waypoints are deleted be careful. I have tried several ways to save places and each time I open the app or sync my charts to the app waypoints are deleted. Map study using the app and syncing to device will delete waypoints. Be Careful!!!!!!!
