I note this problem was highlighted some time ago yet nothing has been done to improve matters. As I say, useless. ### 1/5 — This app does not work it will not load *2021-07-14* This app does not work it will not load ### 1/5 — Doesn’t open *2021-06-17* App does not open , please refund . ### 1/5 — Crashing *2020-08-26* I’ve had this app for years but it’s now continually crashing please fix it ### 1/5 — Won’t open. Keeps crashing. *2020-08-24* Won’t open. Keeps crashing. It was working a few days ago. I’ve just deleted the App & downloaded it again, but it still won’t open. It keeps crashing. This is unacceptable, for a paid App. ### 5/5 — Handy app *2018-01-02* Use this before going out on any of my frequent voyages. Very useful. ### 1/5 — No sound *2016-06-05* It should be noted that this app DOES NOT include the broadcast version of the shipping report. It is merely text on a map, which is useless for someone who wanted to —listen— to the forecast. I wish I had been warned of this before spending my money, I feel quite cheated. ### 2/5 — Skath tan *2016-01-13* Don't like it ,not happy with the layout .will give it till the end of the month ,then get rid . ### 1/5 — What have they done? *2015-03-14* Now have to click each pin to see the name of the area covered instead of the name being there as in earlier version. Pretty useless. Deleted! ### 1/5 — Ship Forecast *2015-03-12* Unimpressive. Won't update. Poor imitation of MCA & Met office report ## Frequently asked questions about Ship Forecast ### What is the price of Ship Forecast? Ship Forecast is a paid application priced at $99.99.
