  Jan Alexander: Buggy Installed on asus zen pad fine and instantly recognized the internal GPS. It refuses to recognize the cm93 charts I have been using on PC laptops for years. Also there is a few seconds window of occasion to choose between raster, vector or cm93 when the apk first boots. Then the option disappears and can't be brought back. Lastly, the assist file appears to reprinted from the Windows ver and isn't useful. I uninstalled the apk. Too awful, it's good on the old laptop.....update, I stumbled onto the solution. My cm93 files were corrupted in transfer somehow. I should've compared the size of the transferred files to the original to create sure they were the same. Now begin cpn is as unbelievable as always. The raster,vector,cm93 menu appears as required when an place is covered by more than one chart format, therefore it's a non trouble. The assist page should be much better and the help forum is inaccessible to me, but the apk itself is good. Therefore I'm piling on the stars...

  Mike B: Good apk! I shadowed an expensive, integrated Ray marine system in a coastal trip of some 500 miles and Opencpn was dead on - and easier to operate. Would like to see Active Captain integrated. Also Squid dio won't download POIs. Following bigdumbboat and it appears fix is known. Need to push out the modernize! But another than that, good.

  What I have been waiting for... This is an good first release of the Sailors' favourite charting application. Receive yourself a copy of CM93 charts, or any of the another supported formats, and you are away. And for a fraction of the cost of nasty Navionics with their annual subscription for out of date and inaccurate charts. I am enjoying the high resolution scans of paper charts for my place (Philippines) in KAP format - the most accurate accessible. Sat pics also display perfectly. Performance is good, almost never crashes. Most of the PC functionality is working already, and doubtless more to follow. Works beautifully on both my smartphone and smartphone.

  John Juliano: This is a gorgeous port. That says it all. It works across our a lot of android device devices and versions and matches the desktop ports. It is very, very awesome.

  John Bauernfeind: Good apk! I use it on my android device smartphone and it works good. Very awesome apk for a little boat. Being able to plan on my PCWORLD and transfer routes and method points via SD card is helpful. It would be really - really nice if Active captain was integrated. That and Bluetooth GPS

  bobmor99: Working Good on Samsung Tab 4 Satisfied to have the sanctioned OpenCPN Android device apk. Streaming all sorts of NMEA data to/from a Raspberry Pi 3. Comforting redundancy. All I have to do now is receive off the dock and go cruising.

  Daniel Mack: Nexus7 As of now I had a few captains attempt to download a map. I have tried for a few hours. Your manual does not address this, only how to do this on a laptop. At this point I nearly have all the instructions memorized. Can you give me detailed, specific to a nexus7 instructions? If this is not going to work, I am requesting a refund as it is not stated the apk will not function on a Nexus7. Preferably, a fix. /////Modernize Accurate and specific instructions were provided by Dave. So far working ok. Upgrading to five stars because of service.

  Kai Weeks: A lot of people ask about the benefits of the Paid ver of OpenCPN over the gratis. I can give a few reasons why it is much better. 1. Ability to shop charts on SD-card. 2. Vastly more energy efficient - the apk will sleep when screen is off (this is a configurable parameter). 3. Plug ins such as GRIB viewer, tides etc accessible. 4. A better player interface with more functionality and configurations.

  Fred Kinkel: Unbelievable. AIS integration very helpful
  User rated this game 5/5 on 2017-02-08

  Awesome. Very awesome. What I'm after is intermittent reference to AIS details to assess the risk of visible traffic. Would my dAISy receiver through USB OnTheGo work with this apk? A note on dAISy's page indicated it would, but this app's forum sent me no 'activation code' to allow me in, and the developer hasn't responded to the question. So, I bought the apk. Now I know, the dAISy receiver via USB OTG does exactly what I need. And it's OpenCPN nicely adapted to my smartphone. [Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8" - no crashes yet.] Thanks.

  Unbelievable An essential addition to any yacht, I can't imagine sailing without. Plus there is endless help through the forum if you run into issues, though it's so intuitive I can't photo even a beginner would need much assist. Additionally buying this ver as opposed to installing the gratis ver encourages the developer to continue the awesome work. Also running the exact same tool on my smartphone, smartphone and laptop is good.

  ruben koene: Good addition to windows I have been an begin cpn fanatic for a while now. I used an old ver of Max Sea for a lot of years. Now begin cpn is my basic tool.

  Rick Gleason: Now our Samsung S4 Cellphones and Notepad can run routes using the on board GPS. A very compact and inexpensive solution and a good asset in the cockpit. Looking forward to getting Nmea data with AIS on the smartphone which OpenCPN will do once we have wireless connection + AIS on board. Thank you!

  Rich West: Works perfectly! I am so impressed! Admittedly, I only just installed it but I've place it through its paces, doing all the things I'd normally do with openCPN on my PC, and it's all there, working and very responsive. It's nice on my Nexus 6, but now, I'm going to buy an android device smartphone just for this apk. Thank you!

  nigel wilson: Have been using PC ver for years so I paid for Android device ver to help developer and give something back. BUT cant make batter from 1.08 to 1.09, says device is incompatible even though it is same device. Read a few posts with same trouble, tried to register on forum but did not keep activation email. Yes i did check spam as suggested, so nowhere left to post to inform developer. maybe similar to google play shop, however I'm left with a paid apk that i cant make batter. UPDATE: version 1.0.10 is compatable once more with my Blackberry, must be the 'Disable USB Host mode compatibility filter.' that did it - Thanks Dave. Perfect help. Perfect Apk.

  Alan Hall: Love opencpn on laptop and Raspberry pi 3 All my attempts so far to install charts on Android device ver have failed, CM93 Smartphone Wileyfox swift. Gratis ver and this paid for ver same effect , point charts at folder containing charts and apk becomes non responsive. Initial 1 star updated to 5 star, after checking on forum discovered it read/write privileges on Android device required amending. Thanks for link Dave

  Wayne Tyrril: Brilliant well done Dave Thanks to all the developers and testers too. 5 Stars if I should choose the Auto-Follow Boat button then move my boat to where I would like on the screen. Look ahead mode doesn't slash it especially if I am rounding a headland or related and besides the screen jumps around too much especially in a rough sea.

  I installed this apk on my 8" Galaxy Tab Active. (Android device 5.5.1). I had to install the charts in the sandbox for them to modernize properly. My paths are: "storage/extSdCard/Android/Data/org.opencpn.opencpn/files/NOAA Charts/ENC" and "storage/extSdCard/Android/Data/org.opencpn.opencpn/files/NOAA Charts/RNC". After making that adjustment it is smooth sailing. I'll check more functionality after I receive my Vesper AIS installed. Looking forward to NMEA data access and AIS overlays on OpenCPN.

  Steven Hepple: Brilliant apk,, works very well and links straight up with my inbuilt gps(samsung s4). very accurate and just needs a few more of the plugins to create it identical to the pc ver. One little trouble i have is the text appear/disappear button is not on the top(or anywhere) ofthe app..so text items on the map cant be seen....any ideas developers please.

  jose maria trueba: Hi Dave, It looked awesome to me, so I went ahead and got it yesterday for my fresh cellphone, a 6 inch display quadcore with just 1Gb of RAM running Android device 6.0 that costed just 99€. I have been spending MANY hours trying to load my charts, same charts that work excellent with my win10/laptop running OpenCPN 4.6.1 but it wasn't working even if I was telling the tool wher my charts were located. Not until I PLACED MY CHARTS EXACTLY in the RIGHT DIRECTORY. I have placed "mycharts" directory inside the device storage under this path: /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.opencpn/mycharts .

  Francois GAECHNER: 3 stars only because while it works perfectly on my Samsung S7 Edge, it keeps crashing all the time on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S2. Such a pity, I was obviously more inclined to use this apk on my Tab rather than my phone. Dave, are you able to do something to improve stability on the Tab S2 please? KR, Francois
