Attempting to zoom in or out freezes the app. In a fast-paced world where we want our information now, this app is not even close to acceptable. **Developer response:** Hi Tunafish, we suggest you to download our latest version 1.8.3 .For further information please contact us on our website support, www.flytomap.com ### 1/5 — Why did I pay for this? *2018-04-21* I needed an app for tides and currents downloaded this one thinking I would have a better experience over a free one. Nope. No clue how to use it and it’s slow as heck. **Developer response:** Hi jhall, Nooa buoy is a powerful app for all info regarding noaa buoys and ships.

Then freezes and locks up. Never worked even once. I want a refund! ### 1/5 — Used to be helpful... *2016-03-29* I used to use this app regularly to check on wind/sea conditions until recent upgrades. They have changed the map background and it is VERY slow to update. It now uses the “FlytoMap” display and has become almost useless. No longer recommended. ### 1/5 — Awful app *2015-07-30* What a waste! Program is in a never ending update loop and will not open. Do not buy it. ### 1/5 — USELESS! *2015-05-22* The app never loads and is full of repetitive ads. ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Reliable *2024-02-18* Buoy data and charts details are fine in my area - Miami. I like the real time weather page ### 5/5 — Reliable *2023-03-07* Buoy data and charts details are fine in my area - Miami ### 5/5 — Very Useful *2016-01-14* Being a commercial fisherman, I use this app on a daily basis and multiple times during the day. The update just made this app more useful by including nav charts! Keep up the great work! ### 5/5 — Very nice *2011-09-15* Love this buoy app, best and most comprehensive in the App store. It even has ship reports. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
