Buoy data and charts details are fine in my area - Miami. I like the real time weather page

No data for Guam. Some buoy data but slow to load. After 10 minutes, still no noaa data.

Problems Galore

Over 2 minutes to open the app.
Changing views by using the buttons at the bottom of the screen 9 times out of 10 freezes the app.
Allowed it to know where I am, still opened in Miami, FL every time.
Attempting to zoom in or out freezes the app.
In a fast-paced world where we want our information now, this app is not even close to acceptable.

Why did I pay for this?

I needed an app for tides and currents downloaded this one thinking I would have a better experience over a free one. Nope. No clue how to use it and it’s slow as heck.

Was a good app

I use this app to forecast waves and boating conditions in the Gulf of Mexico and until this recent update it work good most of the time with a minor freeze everyone and then. After new update it crashed or freezes every time.

Doesn't work

Doesn't finish loading. Map doesn't zoom. Then freezes and locks up. Never worked even once. I want a refund!

Used to be helpful...

I used to use this app regularly to check on wind/sea conditions until recent upgrades. They have changed the map background and it is VERY slow to update. It now uses the β€œFlytoMap” display and has become almost useless. No longer recommended.

Very Useful

Being a commercial fisherman, I use this app on a daily basis and multiple times during the day. The update just made this app more useful by including nav charts! Keep up the great work!
