Best app for fishing and navigation

Most useful and certain app , never misses y use it for fishing and navigation and its the best app

Mejor que Windy

Uso esta aplicación en vez de Windy porque Windy sigue subiendo los precios y ofreciendo menos.

Excellent Tool for Coastal Analysis

As a GIS professional who develops beach safety applications, I appreciate the level of detail and visualization Wavemaps provides. The high-resolution nearshore forecasts, swell analysis, and 3D mapping offer valuable insight into coastal conditions that goes well beyond a typical surf app. It has quickly become one of my go-to tools for understanding wave behavior and supporting coastal decision-making. Highly recommended.

Just finding this app from a Instagram post. This is really amazing data. The layout and options are high level. Great work!

Not there yet

Seems early in functionality to start charging for pro version. Half the rendered satellite images are incomplete/cropped (literally half the rendered image is a black block). Hard limit on generating images for 6 locations. I upgraded to the pro, was able to generate 6 spots and have been looking at “Cannot generate more than 6 spots per day, try again tomorrow” for the last 3 days. This is the kinda stuff you gotta dial in before you start taking people’s money. Cool idea, half baked.

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback! We have addressed the spots limits issue, please have another look. On the image quality, happens at some locations unfortunately due to coverage issues with the satellite source data, not a problem with the app. Again, truly appreciate the feedback!
