Need weather info

Ads pop up and cannot access information needed for safe navigation! Cannot close ads! Makes this app useless

Poor App

Not worth the time to down load. No bouy markers for current conditions. Very basic . To have more info you need to purchase the premium .

Marine forecast

What happened to this app? It was the best for marine forecasts. It used to provide for free 2 days of forecasts with wave heights, wind and other predictions. The premium site gave 7 days. Now there are no predictions.

Buoy information usage.

I mainly use it for my hobby of amateur meteorology. Very helpful tool.

Live views!

I use this app often to evaluate conditions for offshore fishing and the live view from select buoys is fantastic. I continue to use other sources for detailed sea conditions and forecasts, but a picture is worth a thousand words! (Premium subscription user)

Dear Valuable User, Thanks for your review. All the available data has been displayed for premium subscribers. If you don't see specific data on a particular buoy, it is not the app's fault but rather a lack of information from NOAA. If you require any further information, feel free to contact us at: plusmeteoapp@gmail.com Thanks and have a great day. Marine Team

San Luis Pass

I rely on the information from the San Luis Pass buoy when planning my fishing trips to the area. It’s current and spot on.

Dead End App

Can’t clear notifications without clicking each one. Use to be able to see forecast but now just forced into a new screen where they want you to upgrade and pay. I have no problem paying for apps but I don’t think there’s enough value here. Way better apps out there

Dear Valuable User. Thanks for your feedback and your worries about the app :). This is the unique app in the store that reports more than 1800 buoys with fresh data and real time cams. We are releasing and improving the app every day. About the push notifications, most of them report the info without opening it. For further information or feedback do not hesitate to contact us.

One the best

Living up here in Michigan among the Great Lakes, I find this extremely helpful as the weather is unpredictable with “lake affect”.

Terrible

New version has so many ads, most buoys important to me have no data, Smith Island is no longer available. I will delete the app.

Turned to crap over the winter.

Last summer, I was able to see all of the weather buoys on the great lakes. Finding the relevant ones was a bit of a bother, but once selected ad favorites, it was great. Now, the GLERL buoys are a premium purchase and the app seems to select the buoys that I have checked recently as my favorites (I may check buoys in Florida to see what a hurricane is doing, but most of the time I really don’t care about it).

All in all, this app is now pretty useless and it’s going away.

Frustrating

I got the app for mainly water temp and wind measurements. No water temps and sometimes can’t get anything because it’s a premium subscription location. Ad is in the way as soon as I zoom in. Very annoying.

Dear Valuable User, thanks for your review. We displayed an ads each 60 seconds and according to our customer feedback, it allows you to use properly the app. If you don’t want ads at all, just subscribe the NO Ads subscription, less than a usd dollar per month. For any other issues, please do not hesitate to contact us at plusmeteoapp@gmail.com. Have a great day. Best regards, Marine Team

Ads won’t go away

Paid for the paid version of this and ads are still showing! What is the point! On the plus side it reports data from the boys

Dear Valuable User, Thanks for your feedback. Unfortunately what you are writing is not correct. We provide two different subscriptions: “premium” which provides extra features and “no ads” which remove ads from the app. For sure you took the “premium” instead of the “no ads”. Regards, Marine Team

So useful

I have been using NOOA Buoys on and off since 2017… got to say that the much needed recent update came with the real time buoy cam feature which is by far the best thing this app has done! I hope you get the picture.

Thank you!

You ought to get real time weather prediction in through NOAA Buoys… accurate data models, crisp interface… simple to use. Passes in all the essentials. Highly recommend from my end.
