### 5/5 — Subscription Problems

*2020-11-21*

Update: I had a subscription problem and wrote to the developers. They were quick to respond and very helpful. They took care of my problem immediately. Very good app and excellent support. Highly recommended. 

I downloaded both the basic and Pro versions of the app. Unlike other apps these are 2 separate programs. I decided to subscribe to get additional features for .99 a month and also had to pay another $5.00 to get the ads to go away even after subscribing. Then I found that this only worked on the basic app and not the pro version. I’m not paying twice for the same app. I wrote to the developer. Waiting to see what they say.

**Developer response:** Dear Va­­lua­­ble User, 
Thanks for your re­­view. It is claimed in the app description that the in-app purchases are related to the device and not to the account. Regards the Premium in-app purchase, it is avaialable on both free and Pro versions. For any issue, please do not hesitate to contact us at plu­­sme­­teoapp@gmail.­­com. 
Thanks and have a great day.

### 1/5 — As others have stated....

*2018-10-08*

App on phone works ok however does not give all the information like going to the NOAA website such as wave height. The watch app is atrocious. All the information is mixed up. An example, the watch states wave height and gives wind speed instead. So Muskegon Weather stations current wave height is ESE 11.1kt?  I reached out to the Dev asking for them to correct it or give me a refund, still no response.

**Developer response:** Dear User, your feedback is absolutely false, please review it. Thanks

### 3/5 — Live Marine pro

*2018-10-01*

It needs the “observation time”. This was added to Live Marine summer 2018. The issue is that some of us mariners get out of cellular data range and do not have a clue whether or not the data is current. 

Thanks 
Jack

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. Observation time has been added.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2018-09-08*

Purchased the app on to my iPad. Only offered weather in four states. Nothing works on this app. Does not display in landscape mode as stated. Very sad product.

**Developer response:** Dear User, your feedback is absolutely false, please review it. Thanks

### 3/5 — Great app but isn’t displaying all data.

*2017-11-17*

This is a good app - does what it says. However I’m in the USCG in MONTEREY, CA and use the NOAA buoys all the time and this app isn’t displaying the proper information. Example - MONTEREY canyon buoy only displays the sunrise/ sunset when on the noaa website it displays air/water temp, wind speed/ direction, etc. if that winds up getting fixed that would be awesome. 

Second, is there no way to have this app display on the actual watch face?

### 1/5 — Terrible App

*2017-07-29*

I just purchased this app and absolutely nothing works! Very frustrating!!

**Developer response:** This sentence has no sense. Please tell me what are you referring. Thanks

### 1/5 — App freezes

*2016-12-27*

After using once the app freezes and the menus become totally non responsive.

**Developer response:** Dear User, your feedback is absolutely false, please review it. Thanks
