Please give it some attention developer. ### 1/5 — not working *2021-08-12, version 1.4.1* App is still not working. Need to fix!!! ### 1/5 — No updates since June 30 *2021-07-10, version 1.4.1* This is has been my go-to weather app for years but it’s stuck on June 30 2021…please update it. ### 1/5 — What happened??? *2018-08-29, version 1.4.1* I use this app to check conditions before kayaking the Great Lakes. For what ever reason the iPhone app shut down and has not updated in a week! I would’ve given 4-5 stars but this put it down to one! ### 1/5 — The app quit working *2017-02-08, version 1.3* We rely on this app for lake conditions during the boating season. It quit working about 2 months ago. It was the best app I had, please fix it, you provide a great service. ### 1/5 — It died *2017-01-20, version 1.3* Worked awesome when it did but now it doesn't work at all anymore. Not sure what happened to it. It won't open past the main menu featuring what lake you want to get reports on. Huge bummer...if there is a problem with the app, please fix it. Thanks. ### 1/5 — Needs work. Like a lot of work. *2016-06-20, version 1.3* Things work, but not well. Can't zoom in on the map without the side menu trying to come up. Not detailed at all, and therefore not helpful at all. Uninstalled almost immediately. ### 1/5 — Nothing works. *2015-12-18, version 1.3* Hey guys. The recent update doesn't work. No data or maps show up as you select Lake Michigan. ### 1/5 — What happened to this great app??? *2015-06-05, version 1.1* I was very pleased with this app for the past 2 years. Then I opened it up this boating season and the shore forecasts are no longer available. I can still see the animated wave forecasts but that's it.......PLEASE FIX IT, OTHERWISE ITS ANOTHER APP THAT OUT DID ITSELF. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A must for any boater!! *2020-10-09, version 1.4.1* I have been using this app for many years with no issues. Very helpful when planning a day out on Lake Michigan. Gives you bouy data up and down the coast, wind speed, wave height, direction...etc. Now I always check this app before heading out on the water. Instead of “hear say” from other boaters or actually driving on land to look at the waves myself. This app gives me a peace of mind. No boater wants to be caught in bad weather/waves. ### 5/5 — Great app, great support! *2017-06-16, version 1.4* If you boat, sail, surf, kite or swim in the Great Lakes you need this app. ### 5/5 — Love This App but Stopped Working *2017-03-07, version 1.3* I use this app all the time but it stopped working a few weeks ago. PLEASE bring it back! ### 5/5 — Very Useful But Quit Working *2017-01-01, version 1.3* I fish Lake Erie several times a year in my 17' boat, and the weather/wave info that this program provides is very useful to me - for both my pleasure and safety on the water. The app completely quit working a few weeks ago. Is this program no longer available? Sure hope it is! ### 5/5 — Works Great For Me *2016-07-30, version 1.3* Fantastic app. Been searching for an app like this for a long time. Animated wind maps work great, simple design. ### 5/5 — Simply the best *2015-08-14, version 1.2* This is my go-to app, before heading out to the big lake. Works great! ### 5/5 — Great app *2013-08-03, version 1.0* I live in the middle of Michigan so I am able to fish 3 of the Great Lakes wit regularity and this app is awesome with all the lake info you need to decide if its a good day to go or are planning to go ### 5/5 — Great App. *2013-04-08, version 1.0* Use all the time to check Lake Erie conditions. ### 5/5 — Started crashing? *2012-11-26, version 1.0* I love this app, but it recently crashes... When opening any of the options.. Anyone else having this problem? ### 5/5 — Love!! *2012-10-31, version 1.0* The best app!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
