Update 9/18/2020: old problems fixed, good to go
I walk my dogs next to the SF Bay, and this app will tell me the temperature and velocity of the wind off the water. My regular weather app (Weather On) is right on the money for ambient temp and wind speed, but the buoy data tells me the wind temp and speed off the water, and whether or not I'll need a jacket. Maybe a "one trick pony", but it's really good at it, and I use it every day for that. The tide data is there also, but is easier to read in Tide Graph Pro. I'd buy both, if you're by the water. Tip: Pick a few “favorite” buoys near you, and those are the only ones that will come up when you tap favorites (so you don’t have to sort through all the weather on the coast, but you can if you wish). The app responds quickly, so the delay from home; screen to favorite buoy air temp and wind speed takes about 3 or 4 seconds max. Simple, and well written. Good Job.

Thanks
The data is older than some other apps that I am looking at. Used to be more timely. Now the email address doesn’t work either.
The BEST!
Hands-down my favorite weather app for near a decade now.
Excited to see it’s being actively developed again. This is by far the best weather app for any nautical area. No frills, accurate and timely data from an authentic, authoritative source.
Thank you for developing this- I depend on it every day. 🙏🏼👍🏼

Poorly advertised
Does not work well for australia/NZ. Despite the picture showing wellington on the app. Disappointed
Sea height
Why does the data show the sea height anymore?
Fixed and working!
I submitted a review saying the app keeps crashing when I try to open the app, preventing me from using the app, and I asked for the developers to fix this issue. Within days of submitting the review they released an update that solved the issue and the app works great! Thank you for the great customer service!

Worked pretty well for a couple of years but its broken
The app worked well for a few years. A couple of weeks ago it began to hang on the opening screen and then just crashes back to the app icon. This app is broken on my iPhone and ipad.
Best App for the Professional Mariner
As a yacht delivery captain who delivered vessels all over the world, this app has been my go-to marine weather resource. I have bought other apps that claim to be NOAA Data Buoy but fail miserably in provide NOAA textual data. This app provides marine weather forecasts as well as current and historical data verbatim from NDBC/NOAA. Don’t waste your time or money. Take it from a professional mariner. This is the app you need.

Synopsis
Suddenly the synopsis has disappeared and the app keeps freezing and shutting down when I try to scroll down.
Refund please
Poor app - should have read the reviews
Excellent!!!
No other app combines the features and usability found in this one. As avid boaters, my husband and I rely on it all the time.
Wave Height
This app does not make use of reported wave information
Very few listings
I boat on a large lake with numerous buoys and the app shows one or two on the lake. Junk
Doesn’t seem to work.
The app is slow and doesn’t seem to work. I would like a refund.
Should have read reviews
2nd re-write: The developer responded the same day as my review, and provided instructions to disable automatic user location (set Auto-Retrieve to off). Having downloaded the app again and making the location changes, I am still nagged with a pop-up error, "No Location. Access to location denied! Check Settings." Another issue is that wave height info is missing from most buoys I've checked along the eastern shore. NOAA comparisons show the data (just not provided from within the app). Excellent marine weather info otherwise.

Thank you for the long term
I set the app aside for years after apple undeveloped the platform. Today Buoy Data is as good as the day it started, lol.
Dumb
This is hands down the worst app I have for tide charts. Rid of it please.
Requires GPS ALWAYS
What a bust. As long as you have gps running the program works. If you have it off to do some planning, it will not work. This is not a navigation program. Once I store my favorites, I should be able to access them. Anytime!
