What's New in SaltWater Scout

1.5.1

July 2, 2026

Updates to map layouts and UX improvements.

User reviews

Perfect

Has everything in one spot, makes it super easy!

Marine Forecast

The marine forecast is user friendly and great to be able to save favorites.

Simple, Quick and Powerful

Aggregates numerous data sources into one free service that others charge for.

Taking Over

This app is great. It’s easier to use than others to add locations or search on the map. Info is accurate and displayed well. The owner is constantly updating. Saltwater Scout will take over the market.

Getting worse

Never perfect, but was at least usable. Decided to delete and reinstall hoping some bugs were fixed-only to discover that now you can’t even delete default areas like Florida for NOA stations or tides. Very annoying. Will check back in a month.

Response from developer

Sorry for that issue, it has been resolved in the latest release. I am always looking for user feedback so please feel free to reach out to me on the Facebook page or at tony@saltwaterscout.com to help address any concerns quickly.
