Can’t log in or create a new account in new version of app

The older version was great- enjoyed using it and we would love to continue using the app, it’s a yearly subscription that is affordable - now with the upgrades we can’t log in nor can we create a new account - however we can log into the older version but all of the info that was saved ln the older version has been lost - someone please contact and leave an email address that can be used outside of the app for those of us they are unable to access the app at all. Thanks in advance

Very good app

Update: Everything I paid for back in the day is now gone and now they want $100 per year for access to maps. Just delete it! Especially when you can get the permanent Linz marine maps for $5!!!

My review back in 2015:
This is a fun, easy to use charting app. Works very quickly on iPhone 6. Sonar charts have incredible detail. Track recording works very sweetly, though does chew battery. Neat bits like tide and current prediction at various places, and light beacon descriptions, plus ownership of moorings. All nicely presented and mostly intuitive (but note that 'route' is for planning a new route, not recording your current one!) Cons: You have to buy extras to bring out more advanced functionality. Not exactly cheap, though much cheaper than my boat and same price as a single paper chart.

Hi, Our Navionics Boating app has evolved in time and years ago we introduced the yearly subscription for our coverage areas in order to give access to daily chart updates and app’s advanced features. With the latest app version, only regions with an active subscription have the right to download and update chart details and to use the advanced features.
Previously downloaded data related to discontinued or expired subscriptions will remain stored on your device's internal memory unless you uninstall the Navionics Boating app, install it on a new device or log into the app with a different account.
The original purchase of the product included a yearly subscription that allowed the download of chart content, but with no lifetime support in terms of free and unlimited replacement of already downloaded charts. Further information can be found here: http://tinyurl.com/muysjfya
The Navionics Boating app has evolved into a premium navigation tool offering the latest technology in chart updates, overlays, planning, navigation features and more. It offers the same charting experience and value as our premium chart plotter mapping products Platinum+ and Navionics Vision+ at a competitive price point.
As we continue to focus on providing our users with developments enhancing their boating experience with innovation, we believe you will continue to appreciate the value and benefits the app brings to your boating experience now and into the future.

Was my primary navigation tool

Been using navionics for over 10 years. Back then it was my goto tool. I’ve captured thousands of sea miles and hundreds of anchorage. But appears stability is a problem the last few years, for me that’s a show stopper - because my life depends on these types of apps not crashing (especially when I’m approaching an anchorage or New Harbour).

Please navionics address stability asap - I don’t want to change platforms, but will if I have to
