How do I get refund? ### 1/5 — Very poor *2013-03-12, version 1.40* Simply does not work. Has not updated for three days. Should be removed from sale. ### 1/5 — Useless *2013-03-07, version 1.40* Doesn't update, I hope no one is using this for going to sea. Dangerous; should be removed! ### 1/5 — Ship forcast *2013-03-01, version 1.40* Is crap on iPhone I payed for it then lost it when I update the phone I was robed don't us it u will be as well ### 1/5 — Attention App Store Administrators! *2013-02-25, version 1.40* This app is a complete con and should be taken down. It does not update and is, therefore, totally worthless. ### 1/5 — Avoid *2013-02-04, version 1.40* Doesn't seem to have any up to date data on it. Terrible. I want my money back! ### 2/5 — mr *2012-11-04, version 1.40* This app was ok, now it crashes as soon as it opens ### 1/5 — Please fix!!! *2012-10-16, version 1.31* I've just purchased this app as I'm working onboard a ferry... The app won't even open!!! I'm on iOS6 Please fix!!! ### 1/5 — Not good *2012-10-16, version 1.31* What a rip off bought this and can't even open it . Don't bother ### 1/5 — Not really... *2012-10-16, version 1.31* This has clearly got worse since IoS6 as its only mono-directional and carries nothing more than I can get from Radio 4! Poor quality, and now simply fails to open. Poor ### 1/5 — Crashes on startup (iphone5) *2012-10-15, version 1.31* I want a refund.. Just plain rubbish ### 2/5 — Not impressed *2012-08-16* So far I'm disappointed with this app. It seems very slow to update and is therefore lagging behind the Met Office website and giving out of date information. But even once it updated, when I was checking the Irish Sea conditions it was WRONG. And has less detail than the website. Therefore, since you need to be online anyway, just save a link to the website! ### 2/5 — Developments? *2012-05-26* Are there any plans to add the inshore forecast? I would not have paid for this had I realised this was not included. It is not sufficiently detailed information to be useful despite the fact it functions well. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2011-12-15, version 1.22* Wont update,Cheap interface,look online.will unistall.Go to programming school programmer.. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Useless *2021-07-28* The bloody app just crashes repeatedly. 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. ### 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. ### 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 ### 1/5 — Absolute rubbish *2014-08-18, version 1.40* Don't waste your money! This app does nothing. Should be removed from apps list. No stars from me, but had to give it a minimum of one. ### 1/5 — Quite poor *2013-08-04* Limited indeed, no timely updates or any in 24 hours that I can see, would not trust data before going to sea and as a result this is pretty useless. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Handy app *2018-01-02* Use this before going out on any of my frequent voyages. Very useful. ### 5/5 — Ship Forecast *2014-08-10* App works absolutely fine. Information presented via geographically accurate names shipping areas is synchronised with Met Office shipping forecast. ### 5/5 — Easier than navtex. *2012-03-15* After the fixes to the update problem this is a very useful app. Highly reccomended. ### 5/5 — Top Bannana. 👀👀 *2011-11-27, version 1.22* Does what it says it does. I think it's great top marks 😃 ### 4/5 — Recommended *2011-11-28, version 1.22* Very happy with this app. Keep up the good work Phil. ### 4/5 — Simple and works well *2011-09-07, version 1.22* Title says it all. ### 4/5 — Handy guide to the weather at sea *2011-09-04* Very simple app that condenses the daily Shipping Forecasts into a simple easy to use GUI. ### 4/5 — Ideal! *2011-08-25* A great little app - well worth 69p for an instant connect to the latest forecast. I'm sure more developments may come but a good start thanks. ### 3/5 — Bit disappointed *2012-05-21* Would be worthwhile if it updated when you press the button. Only get 1 forecast a day on my iphone even when on wifi. Please try and rectify Phil ### 3/5 — Ship Forecast *2011-09-06* A very simple app that repeats information from the Met Office web site in an attractive format. A web link on your home page does the same job and is free. It would have to be very much more comprehensive eg inshore waters forecast, to make it worth keeping. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
