IMPORTANT:

Please remember that this app can only show data the buoy collects. Not all buoys collect wave data. This app will display all data collected by a buoy.

If you have any questions before purchasing, please email me at mwnbdc@gmail.com. I typically respond by the end of the day.

If you notice a missing a buoy, please contact me first rather than leaving a poor review. If you are correct, the buoy can be easily be added to the cloud database.

Enjoy.

### 5/5 — Ocean swimmers

*2026-03-07, version 1.2*

Love this app!

### 2/5 — Bad Buoy

*2025-10-07, version 1.2*

No information, always says not  responding.

### 1/5 — Not particularly helpful aka useless

*2025-08-13*

You cannot place a curser on a specific location and get a temperature for that particular location.  You cannot change the map temperature scale range.  You cannot change units. Temperature scale size is too small. The FAQ section is generic and doesn’t provide helpful advice, probably because there is no way to interact with this app.  It’s basically a pretty picture of temperature. And you’re on your own after that.

Will be requesting a refund.

### 5/5 — Ocean temps

*2024-07-26*

Fantastic app , I check ocean temperature before I go out . I know it’s surface temperature, but it gives a good idea of how the fish should be acting…

### 1/5 — Not much data

*2024-03-02, version 1.2*

More data available on free APPs

### 1/5 — Poor

*2023-12-27, version 1.2*

App has went down hill steady since it first came out. Useless now

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2023-09-08*

Easy to use where ever you are.

### 1/5 — Dud

*2022-11-17, version 1.1.12*

Never shows actual temperature

### 5/5 — I like it 🙂

*2022-09-23*

I track the temps to try and guess when the stripers run up and down the Atlantic coast. Seems pretty bug-free as well. Good job 👍

### 1/5 — Useless for Massachusetts

*2022-09-20, version 1.1.12*

This app is useless if you live in MA. There is one buoy in the Boston area so there is no way it can be used for any specific Massachusetts beach.
