The ads are so intrusive. I bought the pro version and it’s still terrible— the stations don’t load at all ### 1/5 — Does not work *2025-07-19, version 8.9.3* This app takes forever to load and works less than 25% of the time. Don’t waste your time or money on this garbage. ### 1/5 — Won’t load any buoys *2025-07-18, version 8.9.3* I can see the list of buoys but no data about them ### 1/5 — Waves *2025-07-03, version 8.9.3* The information is not accurate at all for boating and fishing…. ### 1/5 — Отвратительно! *2025-06-15* На каждый чих реклама. Интерфейс, как написано, чистый, но не юзерфрендли! ### 1/5 — The app doesn’t work *2025-05-27, version 8.9.3* Reinstalled 5 times and the app want allow me to login in ### 1/5 — Terrible, non functioning app *2025-05-24, version 8.9.3* The app used to be decent. For the past week nothing loads and for the past few months everything has loaded very slow. The developers seem to release minuscule updates very infrequently. Not worth your time or the subscription cost. ### 1/5 — Stopped updating *2025-05-24, version 8.9.3* App became useless as it either takes several minutes to update info or times out. ### 2/5 — Used to work *2025-05-23, version 8.9.3* Now it doesn’t load and stinks!!! ### 1/5 — No longer works *2025-05-21, version 8.9.3* App no longer seems to work. Waste of money and am canceling subscription ### 1/5 — Used to be good, not anymore. *2025-05-18, version 8.9.3* This app used to be very helpful and accurate. I don't know what happened, but I cannot get the buoy data to open. And if it does open, and that's a very big if, it takes forever for any information to appear. This is not a connection issue. I've tried it in multiple locations on different Wi-Fi networks. Something changed with the app. ### 1/5 — App down? *2025-05-17, version 8.9.3* I have a paid account and this app has not worked for several days Quite frustrating ### 1/5 — Slow as can be *2025-05-17, version 8.9.3* This takes forever to get data to upload. Regardless of your internet connection. Their server is terrible. ### 1/5 — Don’t Even Try *2025-03-08, version 8.9.1* Only advertising you cannot close. There is no app function without subscription. ### 1/5 — Gone bad *2025-02-18, version 8.9.1* Used to be A good app, but lately it is become unusable with ads and functionality. It will be deleted. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — It seldom opens *2026-07-17, version 9.0.2* The app seldom opens ### 1/5 — App Does Not Work - but takes your money *2026-07-09, version 9.0.2* The app will not work. Just keep getting error message when trying to log in. Sent multiple messages to their help email with no response. Apple won’t refund. Use another app! ### 1/5 — Never any service *2026-07-06, version 9.0.2* Thought this would be the perfect app for us. You almost can never get logged in. There’s almost no information that’s pushed out. Always getting timed out. Not effective at all! ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-07-03, version 9.0.2* This app use to be a our go to but it just sits and tries to load now. Why would I buy premium again when it won’t load. Please fix it! ### 1/5 — Free app with in app purchase? *2026-05-06, version 9.0.2* Yes. You can download the app for free. But the first “continue” button is to sign up to actually see/use anything in the app is to pay for the app? I was curious if it gave me the data I wanted, not to commit. Just charge for the app directly from the App Store if this is your business model. ### 1/5 — App littered with click bait *2026-04-24, version 9.0.2* Its full of ads and free subscription schemes ### 1/5 — No longer works. *2025-09-26, version 8.9.5* I paid for the Pro plan and I can no longer login to my account. The app attempts to boot up and then it times out. ### 1/5 — Goes down for long periods if time *2025-09-15, version 8.9.5* App is decent when it’s working but this summer it has gone down and stopped working for days on end multiple times. Certainly not worth the annual subscription fee ### 1/5 — Can’t evaluate *2025-09-05, version 8.9.5* Too bad. Can’t even decently evaluate this app because of all the ads. If you want me to purchase, at least let me evaluate a functioning app for a couple of days before bombarding me. ### 1/5 — Lousy app *2025-08-29, version 8.9.5* Right now your app shows.85 ft waves in Kachemak bay. NOOA is showing 6’ waves in the bay and 10’ in the outer bay. Last year we had an episode where we were worried about getting back because I trusted your app. Never again. I am deleting your app after I send this review. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good value *2026-03-04, version 9.0.1* My go to on weather forecast ### 5/5 — Good value *2025-10-08, version 8.9.5* My go to on weather forecast ### 5/5 — Always accurate *2025-04-10, version 8.9.1* Whether I’m out boating with friends or doing some solo sailing, this app helps me plan way better and avoid bad weather. ### 5/5 — Super helpful during weekend trips *2025-04-10, version 8.9.1* Had a weekend full of boating and sailing and this app kept us one step ahead of the changing wind.
