User reviews

2025-10-10 good update for the BC Coast

Both Active Pass and Porlier Pass have been updated.

Don’t use this for current data

The modelling used for the current animation is beyond bad: currents flow through passages not across them. See Active pass.

Essential NW boating app

The granularity of the current forecast is not available elsewhere. Having wind, tides and temp in the same app is very useful. UI is elegant. This has become my “go to” conditions app for the PNW

Early version is very good

Just began using this app to see currents in the Salish Sea. So far it looks like it works very well. We run our sailboat from Port Townsend to the San Juan Islands, Gulf Islands, and northward. Currents in these areas are treacherous and this might be a great resource. Will give it an updated review after further field testing but so far it beats “Prediction Current” in accuracy, speed, and readability. Great start!!
