Well it’s flat ### 5/5 — By far the best Marine Weather App on the planet! *2024-05-12, version 1.21* I tip my hat to the App dev and App rat team on this marine weather App. The compilation of various NOAA data bases, graphic interfaces, satellite imagery, and simple/ease of accessing and navigating data screens makes this App a stand out in the world of available marine Apps. The App has managed to compile numerous data graphics and sources on a single control pane of glass! No more fumbling through various (and limited detail) sites to piece together desired weather elements while attempting to navigate through the convoluted government sites to obtain desired marine weather. I have all of my boating friends now using this App. Great job App team. Joel ### 5/5 — Must have for boaters *2024-02-29, version 1.15* We love this app especially for accurate and the quickest notifications of upcoming weather. You will get updates as soon as they are posted from various weather systems directly making this a must have for any activity dependant on the weather. 👍👍 ### 5/5 — So good *2024-01-12, version 1.13* It’s got everything you need for marine weather and passage weather planning. Yes… all of this is available through other free sites… but the NOAA site is so convoluted and unfriendly for mobile use and this app assembles that with buoy data and various models… it’s easily worth the subscription… especially if your time is precious and frustration (or lack of) is even more precious. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2023-09-09, version 1.10* Great app, I use it instead of other weather apps! Since I live so close to the coast and it seems more accurate than others! ### 5/5 — Immediate alerts and responsive help *2023-08-13, version 1.10* Alerts are instantaneous with NOAA, and quickly pop on my iPhone. The ability to chose spot forecasts is a great feature, and shows the difference between smooth seas and burying the bow. Questions to the developers are answered just as fast as the alerts!!! I have been using pro version for 3 years now and it’s my go to first look. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2023-07-28, version 1.10* I have been using this app for a couple of years now and it is my default source for marine forecasting when boating (on Lake Michigan). I use various paid and free apps and this one beats them all. Thank you to the dev … please keep going!!! ### 5/5 — Highly Recommended!!! *2023-05-29, version 1.10* I absolutely love this app! Instant weather, forecasts, Buoy, tide information and so much more. I love that you can literally just tap anywhere on the satellite map and receive instant detailed information. You will not be disappointed! ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2023-05-27, version 1.10* Spot on! ### 2/5 — Misleading *2023-05-05, version 1.9.9* What set this app apart from the others was the water temp in the chart page. I couldn’t decide between three, but chose this one cause the other two didn’t show they offered that. Downloaded just to find that I have to pay for a subscription in order to view that information 😡 ### 5/5 — Reviewing weather conditions *2023-05-03, version 1.9.9* I love this app for planning trips off shore. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bouts *2025-04-25, version 1.31* Not working properly ### 1/5 — Bouys are off line *2024-11-12, version 1.26* Am I doing something wrong? ### 1/5 — Error *2024-10-13, version 1.26* Just says error can’t connect to buoy. Useless ### 1/5 — Used to be good. *2024-06-29, version 1.23* I’ve been using this app exclusively to collect offshore fishing information for about 3 years. It’s always been easy to use. Recently I noticed it had stopped showing me swell reports which are exceedingly important information when going off shore. I contacted the developer and had two brief emails back and forth then nothing. I was left with a screen shot the developer sent me simply telling me that they can see the swell reports in California… great for them not for me. Unfortunately for me this app has become virtually useless and seeing the number of apps the developer now has it’s not surprising they aren’t willing to help troubleshoot this one for one loyal user. ### 1/5 — Offline *2024-06-16, version 1.22* All the buoys are always offline or not working? ### 1/5 — Does not work *2024-05-26, version 1.22* Every time I open the app to get info an error screen pops up instead. I can’t get any functions of the app to work. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2023-10-10, version 1.11* Paid for a year and ask for info because I could not get any wether info and it’s been a week with no response ### 1/5 — Reading are always down *2023-05-21, version 1.10* Never can get a report ### 1/5 — Gulf of Mexico *2022-05-15, version 1.9.1* Bouy information is very lacking offshore ### 1/5 — The updating is meaning You improve not remove *2021-10-11, version 1.6.29* There was RNC CHART layout before this update but you removed now in this update, and that was one reasons to bought this app but now after this update I give you star only and shouldn’t be possible either, my suggestion to users this app don’t update to don’t lose this feature ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Thru no fault of DEV *2025-12-05, version 1.37* There’s a lot of bouts that haven’t reported data for 3yrs and you don’t get a definitive answer until you do the thumb~work yourself. ### 5/5 — Essential for marine trip planning. *2025-10-15, version 1.34* Most used app. Buy the guy a coffee please ### 5/5 — Excellent resource for boating *2025-10-08, version 1.34* App has many very useful tools for planning your boating trips. Custom service is excellent. Send an email and you promptly get a reply to answer questions or assistance as needed. App has worked without issue for me. Recently upgraded to the pro version. ### 5/5 — Water temperature *2025-10-03, version 1.34* I love to water temperature boy that’s near me ### 5/5 — Boater *2025-08-23, version 1.34* When taking my family or friends out on my boat safety, he always comes first, and I can always rely on Marine weather forecast pro. If you don’t have it installed on your phone, you’re missing a great thing and the best information that you need to have a great day on the boat. ### 5/5 — Maine to Vineyard *2025-07-08, version 1.33* I love this app for timely weather advisories. I missed checking it once, missed a small craft advisory since it was a beautiful day on land forecast. 8 foot swell turned me around but I’d have saved the lesson if I’d looked before hand. 5stars. ### 5/5 — Good app *2025-04-14, version 1.31* I love this app you can look out 5 days in advance and get a real good idea what the seas will be like where you want to fish ### 5/5 — Well its weather *2024-09-23, version 1.26* Still weathering ### 5/5 — An Amazing Weather Aggregator *2024-07-22, version 1.24* This app has so much detailed weather data from multiple sources available and is a lot more reliable getting current data. I’ve used ‘predictor’ apps like Windy and PredictWind and they don’t hold a candle to it. The developer is incredibly prompt in responding and resolving to any issues. You get data from the source to make your own decisions without inconsistent predictive algorithms, especially if you live where local information and observations aren’t as plentiful. The real time observations like buoys and stations are great. A much better deal than other apps out there. ### 5/5 — Best app for surfers! *2024-05-24, version 1.21* This is the most reliable and accurate app for surf reports. Information is relayed directly from user selected buoys. The information isn’t rounded up, so if the buoys indicate 3.3’ swell, that is what you’ll see. Some apps either round up to the nearest whole number or are so far off that I don’t think it was because of rounding. I don’t have the pro model so I can’t speak to other features available on the app but judging from what is available on the free version, I’m sure they’d be just as impressive. Both the app for my phone and watch are useful. I check this app for surf reports and forecasts. Also, I had some trouble setting up a Marine Weather complication on my watch. I thought I’d reach out to the developer, not really expecting a response. I received help and worked out my issue the same day. I’m immensely impressed with the support from this brand. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
