I NEEDED THIS

It’s everything I needed in one spot! beats having to keep a bugillion tabs open on my phone

Must Have

Awesome for figuring out where to go fish. Even better to pull up when they are biting to see what they are biting.

Best on the water forcasting app

Why check 2-3 different weather apps, when you can just check Big Buoy.. It’s unheard of to have water temps, waves, wind, solunar, chlorophyll overlay, sea surface overlay, and more; all easily accessible inside of just one app.
