Just saw this from Active Captains' newsletter
>>> A Couple of Other Things >>> We've received almost 500 emails about problems with logging into ActiveCaptain on Garmin's BlueChart Mobile app for iOS. It only happens on the iPad after you've upgraded to iOS 8.3. When you try to log in, it tells you that there is a problem with your account. There's a simple workaround until Garmin releases a fix. All you need to do is turn the iPad 90 degrees to portrait mode. Go to Garmin's Settings and log into ActiveCaptain in that portrait orientation. Strange as it may sound, that will fix the problem. After you're logged in, you can turn the iPad to any orientation for use. There's another iPad issue facing Bluetooth GPS users of iOS 8.3. There are multiple reports that Bluetooth GPS devices no longer work with any navigation product. This will also supposedly be fixed in iOS 8.4 when it is released in the future by Apple. These are two good examples of why you should never be early adopters of new OS levels on any platform. Wait a month or more. Better yet, if you're underway, don't make any major system change to any computing device. Get feedback on forums like the ActiveCaptain Facebook group and other media before updating your systems.
