Used to work on my older iPhone X, but doesn’t work on that one anymore either. ### 1/5 — Not working *2021-06-15* No data displaying. ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2016-06-27* What a rip-off! Liars too, since other reviewers state hasn't worked in years. Want my money back PLUS should be removed from App Store as a scam purchase! ### 1/5 — Bad app *2016-05-27* Can I give this negative stars? It has never worked. ### 1/5 — Too bad *2016-05-21* This used to be a nice app to use when determining whether to go to the lake. Unfortunately the app stopped working after the 2014 summer. I contacted the developer and he said he was going to fix it, but never did. Disappointed. ### 1/5 — Too many stars from me *2015-07-08, version 1.0* This would be an excellent app ... if it only worked. It doesn't, hasn't for a couple of years, and won't ... until the developers get off their butts & fix it. I've been sailing or fishing this lake for over over 60 years, and rely on the UW's data collection & record-keeping. A shame that what could be a nifty & useful app is merely a consumer of space. ### 2/5 — No data pulling, app keeps closing when I open it. *2024-06-16* Title says it all. Disappointed. ### 3/5 — Would like to change units to mph *2019-09-02* This app is up to date and useful. However, it would be useful if there was a setting to display the wind speeds in mph, rather than knots and m/s. ### 4/5 — make a graph please *2013-07-30* this is great, it would be great if there was a history graph on the wind speed though, that way you could look at what kind of gusts have been coming across. ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Presently misbehaving *2024-06-13* Been using the app for years now. Today it flickers on, then immediately shuts down, returns me to my phone’s home page. Deleted & re-downloaded, got same result. ### 5/5 — The most impactful app of our generation. *2023-05-27* How else could you possibly boat without this app which has clearly descended from the heavens….game changing. ### 5/5 — Great App! *2012-06-23* I love this app! I'm in Florida and my Dad texts me whenever he rounds the buoy on his boat. ### 5/5 — Great for Hoofers sailors *2010-05-21* Good info to decide if you wanna go sailing. ### 5/5 — Love it!! *2010-04-30* A quick way to monitor wind speed and direction before heading down to the lake for a sail! ### 5/5 — Fantastic app! *2010-01-19* Used this during '09, mostly factoring buoy data into the go/dont go decision process. It'll be AWESOME once we know whether the buoy is reporting or not. Great app, thanks! ### 5/5 — Great *2009-09-25* I go fishing and boating alot this Is perfect for deceiding wethier conditions are good or not ### 5/5 — Nice *2009-07-31* Nice App ### 4/5 — Nice app but.... *2013-07-24* It would be nice to able to export the data via email or text. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
