Crashes on iPhone

The home page comes up, but when I try to obtain more information it crashes the app.

Missing Information.

Would have given this a five stars but they removed the oxygen level information. Very important when planning when and where to fish.

This software should be removed from the iTunes Store

Completely unstable on iOS 12.4 on both iPhone and iPad. Useless.

Very disappointing

Downloaded to see the winds from yesterday’s 29+ knots around the Bay. The Annapolis buoy is apparently not yet back in the water, so no data there. And when I click on Potomac, it remains stuck on the Annapolis data page, giving me nothing from any other station.
If this is only a seasonal app, please add a help section to clearly identify that status. Otherwise it is just poor programming with lots of bugs.

Great app. Needs upgrade for iOS 10.3.3

It's a great app. I have been using it for the past several years, and one of the bouys is right across the Bay from my marina. The down side seems to be Apple's iOS 10.3.3. Ever since that upgrade the app continues to crash and is unusable.
