RayRemote 4+

I am unable to use this Ray Remote app at all! I have successfully installed and connected to my Axiom 12 MFD, but the display on my iphone is not interactive at all!

And when I’m connected to the Axiom MFD via WiFi, it blocks cellular data and makes my phone unusable!

Set up this app and my MFD to connect by WiFi, but the app continues to say it cannot find my MFD. Raymarine technician says I did everything correctly, so puzzled why it wasn’t hooking up. But as an earlier reviewer remarked, once the app cannot find the MFD, there is no way to get it to stop looking. The only choice is to REPEAT the search. I tried to stop it by shutting my iPhone down, but when I restarted the phone the app was still searching. Deleting the app from my homepage did nothing, and deleting it completely did nothing; it is still “in the cloud” and when it comes back it is still in search mode. Presumably this would prevent me from trying to hook up by Bluetooth, which one must do in order to use the app while sailing and away from your WiFi. After reading earlier reviews, it appears the app is useless anyway, since you cannot both see the chart and the controls simultaneously (I can’t vouch for this since I can’t get that far.) Save yourself the grief of trying to get it to work.

This is an absolutely useless app. You can either view, or you can control (kind of), but not both. When I switch to the remote control I can’t see the screen, and therefore have no idea where I am in the menu system or what I’m selecting. If I’m close enough to the main unit to see the screen then why wouldn’t I just use the main unit? The whole point is to be able to be in a different location on the boat and use my iPhone to access the features. I’d have to set everything up on the flybridge and then use the view were in the cabin helm, but if I ever needed to zoom in or change any setting I’d have to walk up to the flybridge. Ridiculous.
