Gute Ergänzung

Durch die Möglichkeit der Offline-Nutzung eine gute Ergänzung zu anderen Wetter-Apps, insbesondere bei längeren Passagen.

First app I check

This app gives so much info with a very simple display. This is the first app I check when deciding when to take the boat out. While I am on the water I make it part of my routine to check the app to see what to expect in the following hours and days. This is one of my must have apps to go sailing with.
