### 3/5 — It’s ok…

*2024-06-30*

While the app doesn’t match the information NOAA releases on their website on a daily basis it does give a quick reference point depending on which weather buoy you’re fishing near. I mainly fish the Eastern end of the lake and rely on the buoy north of Oswego which gives good data most of the time. This app gives you the average instead of the range of wave heights but it coincides with the information on NOAAs website (I.e., website says 1-3’ waves and app says 2’). I would like to see more “areas” of the lake covered by the app and possibly realtime data from the buoys which is why I’m leaving feedback but for what it is right now (a spot check) I’d say the app is OK.

### 1/5 — No Canadian support

*2023-06-14*

Waste of money if you’re trying to find Canadian data. Yet the pics show Ajax, it does not actually report the Ajax buoy

### 1/5 — Misleading. Sale

*2022-05-25*

Want my money back.  App only covers US where is Canadian side of lakes.

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2020-08-30, version 1.0.7*

Bad bad app can’t get any forecast on the lake

### 1/5 — Poor Apt

*2019-07-24, version 1.0.7*

App did not acknowledge any settings in the Point Breeze area on the lake.

### 1/5 — Stupid app

*2018-05-02*

This app only does the US side?...pretty sure it has a Canadian side!
