ARGO Navigation Boating App - Is it Worth it to Upgrade from FREE to PREMIUM?

- We've been using the FREE version of Argo Navigation Boating App on boat trips for about 2 years now and had a chance to test out their new paid Premium version & features this summer while it was still in development (we even gave feedback that made it into the app!) Argo is a super easy to use navigation app for autorouting boat trips and already comes with tons of FREE navigation & social boating features, but you can take it to the next level with Premium app version. We'll review what you get with Premium so you can decide if its worth it to upgrade!

Hear how we've used the Argo Free Boating App on Boat Trips AND a Q&A with app developer: czcams.com/video/HmtP1twllgA/video.html
This video sold me on getting the premium. Over the winter months I've enjoyed planning trips on my laptop at home.
That’s great glad it was helpful! Yeah it really is worth the extra bells and whistles. I always plan my trips from home & new web app makes it even easier!
Shoutout to my hometown Annapolis🤘🏾& DMV
Our favorite place!! 🥰
I use my Garmin MFD and/or Navionics. Been working like a champ for many years.
👍
Does the maps show your location when in offline mode? Will it utilize the GPS chip? Thank you
Yes it uses gps so you can still see your location on the map with offline mode
How do I transfer routes to my chartplotter? Thanks.
You need Premium but it’s easy.. Open a route or track to view the details, tap the dots in the upper right corner and select Export as GPX File. You can email it to you or choose other options to export the file. How you import it into your Chartplotter depends on device type.
Does it allow you to set a drift alarm? Looking to replace the app we currently use and that is a feature I really value for overnights on anchor.
Not yet - but I’m told anchor/drift alarm is on their list of premium features coming soon.
Hi guys, how do you change the location for weather/tide on the Argo app. It's currently showing Bush River, which isn't too far off, but it has to be changeable for folks that don't live on the Chesapeake
Hey the weather should update based on whatever area you are showing on the map - may have to zoom in a bit to the area for the weather spot to update, and I think tap the weather to update it. If you still have problems hit the feedback in the app - developer is super responsive!
Do you use the app on your cell phone or do you have an Ipad or tablet set up?
We still use it on my cell phone - been meaning to set up a tablet, it does work on that… and they are coming out with a desktop version too for people who want to plan trips with computer screen.
Ive been using the app almost all summer, best app available on the market. I went places my long time boaters are afraid to try!!! My concern with the paid version is that with all the added features it will get too confusing. I love the simplicity of it and dont want that compromised. Have you noticed a difference?
Awesome!! Yeah it’s so easy to use! Premium is not confusing at all - there’s not added stuff on the screen or anything weird.. like offline you just go to settings & choose area of map to download so you have it if you need it… weather just expands to more info when you tap on it - other stuff coming out should be pretty seamless too. .. I’ve been seeing previews 👀
@@MyBoatLife I will purchase the upgrade asap. Thank you. I've emailed back and forth with the creator, great guy!!
@@CaptainTodd yep Jeff is great! And honestly $20/year is worth it for the extras that are coming - we spend more than that 1 night at the bar! 😂
@@MyBoatLife He lived in Joppatowne for years, which is where I grew up, small world!!
Can I get charts for the Bahamas?
Yep unlimited charts from Canada down into Caribbean - you can download for free & zoom in around areas to see the depth numbers but yeah, it’s there!
Thanks@@MyBoatLife
My sister why this app not available here in Africa
It’s just North America & Caribbean at the moment but I know they’re looking to expand internationally
this is a good app but it absolutely murders your battery. I thought it was maybe just my older iphone 11Max pro phone but after upgrading to the 15 Max Pro I still have the same battery drain. I'm not sure why this app draws so much more power than say other navigation maps like google maps etc. I'm still within cell phone range as I'm just using it on southern CT along Long Island sound. It's not a showstopper since I have a 12v charger on the dash but it's not clear why the power draw.
I'm guessing the app cashes no map data and is constantly trying to download??
I would send your feedback to the developer Captain Jeff he responds personally to emails at support or through the app - it may already be on their list of improvements coming out!
