Inactive Buoys and false information
The Buoys in Lake Michigan are mostly inactive and the very few are active don’t give wave information. The ones I that give wave information are incorrect and a complete waste of resources. The waves were reporting 1ft of waves on 9/11 2026 outside of Port Sheldon in the Grandhaven location. The waves had to be at least 3ft and very choppy. I do not recommend this app for Lake Michigan.
Response to the developer: This would mean that the buoys are stationed in areas unprofitable for civilian use. What is the purpose of a buoy and its correlated data gathering supplied for the public in an app if not for trust-worthy data reporting? My rating was and description still uphold for the use in Lake Michigan. It would be dishonest of me to withhold my experience from other anglers expecting the nearest buoy to display accurate information for nearest areas use. I’m allowing the public to know of the uncertainty of water conditions despite the buoy’s data.

Interrupted
Every app that interrupts me actively using it to ask for a review gets 1 star.
Water temp
To many times water temp is not displayed
Critical infrastructure
This is a critical service to all who travel on the lakes, especially recreational boaters!
Excellent Source of Sea Conditions - wave heights/winds/sea temp.
We use this app. often when we’re planning an offshore trip or even head to the beach. It gives us a decent snapshot of the sea temp. as well as sea state and winds. All vital information to plan a run.
Sailing On Desire
The buoy information is extremely valuable and I appreciate the easy access provided
More data
Terrible app due to data from many buoys not available most of the time. Additionally the ships displayed in many areas rarely contribute any data.
GPS
Want numbers for gps to find buoys! Where is the gps numbers?
Response from developer
You can get the GPS coordinates for any buoy by going to the full "Buoy Report", and then scrolling all the way to the bottom where you should see the buoy's Latitude & Longitude. Please feel free to contact us directly via the app Settings->Feedback if you have any other questions.
Love it
Love this for Lake Erie buoys in regards for water temps pressure and because I got a lifetime subscription for 25$ buoy cams and buoy history

Well, first, I NEVER thought that I would be reviewing a bouy! (There. That’s outa da way).
Second and foremost, I gave 4-stars only bcz when it’s extremely cold or windy, the “numbers” get skewed. But udderwise, like today, that big ol’ Weeble-Wobble* sits out there selflessly giving up its data, 24/7, to anyone that wants it. It’s kinda sad…

*I remembered, after I got this far, that this bouy is factually brick-and-mortar, not capable of wobbling.

Great and accurate thread. Matches the radio report 📻
Plenty of information
gives me critical information about what the ocean is doing. This helps make me a better boater knowing what to expect
BUOY THIS IS COOL
Love this app. great for fishing and any other boating weather awareness requirements. I used to use these to predict where hurricanes would track. I’m no meteorologist, but it’s a fun challenge.
Long ago when I was in aviation, I used them to see what the water temperature was. It helped us predict inevitable fog on Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket and Block Island.
Always file a float plan!

Just what I was looking for!
I’ll be going on a cruise and this has been so useful in helping me anticipate weather conditions such as air temperature and wave action. Upgraded to Professional, which is VERY inexpensive. Great.
Bouy info
Incomplete and not accurate need more info
Great Lakes fishing
Need this App with wave height and wind historic data to determine if it’s Safe to go out on the big lakes. Fish On Tone.
Great app!
It’s super handy to have all of the buoy info right there at my fingertips, and upgrading to premium was worth it just for having an extensive favorites list alone. Sailing down the San Joaquin to San Francisco, I’m checking on all of those conditions.
Ships
Ships never seem to report water temperature??
Great App
I have used this app for years when watching weather
