Thanks

I live in Hudson Florida. I go out in the ocean all the time with a underwater metal detector and do underwater metal detecting up to my neck. I use the site often to give me an idea of the water temperature and the wave and swell heights. I definitely give you guys five stars, thank you.

One star. Didnt want to be nagged for eternity to rate this app. Your popups harassing for a rating are annoying. Should be a "duck no" button rather than a "later" button.
What gives you such a hard on for a rating that you feel the need to harass users for eternity until they rate your app?

Ok then here you go. One star. For nagging me for 4 god damned months.
Go back to college and learn gui. And stop harassing.

NO MEANS NO!
