### 5/5 — Great App!

*2020-06-16, version 9.0.93*

First app I look at to see if it’s a good day to sail. I’ve been using it now for about 6 years.

### 3/5 — Not reading internet

*2018-10-16, version 9.0.8*

I love this app but cannot get my iPad or iPhone to read the internet.  Are you planning an update?

### 1/5 — Don't download

*2016-11-26, version 9.0.8*

It's just a bad user experience. On top of that some really poor weather model is being used. Avoid.

### 1/5 — Not great

*2016-09-11, version 9.0.8*

The app is telling me that Boston will see wind between 10-13 mph today. Just saw that we're seeing gusts of 50 knots.

### 1/5 — App from hell!

*2015-02-23, version 8.72*

Not usable.and cannot be removed from my iPad.  Support takes me to some irrelevant website.

### 5/5 — Yes yes

*2014-07-28, version 8.72*

This app is really helpful, I love that I can set my weather preferences and see how the weather is forecasted to progress hour by hour - and it is usually accurate!  Finally, a cheap weather app for sailors.  My only suggestion would be to also list the speed of wind in knots, not only mph. Definitely download!

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2014-02-18, version 3.0*

This app was great when it worked, but it stopped working recently. The icons telling you whether to go sailing or stay-at-home no longer display. I love the simplicity of the interface, but now the app has become useless.

### 1/5 — Not so much

*2013-08-30, version 3.0*

Pretty basic not much vital info for sailing. I get the same info from my local news channel app. Pretty sure some of the preference features don't work. I g

### 5/5 — Wow

*2013-07-26, version 3.0*

Asom for salors like me.👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
