The addition of cameras to my local breaks has been amazing, and I look forward to seeing new updates in the future!! ### 5/5 — Mejor aplicación de surf *2025-12-16* Datos reales y fácil de entender. 🤙🏽 ### 5/5 — Great app for surf, fishing and more *2025-12-02* This app is very instructive and helpful to know the size of a swell in various places of the world. Free for forecasts 48h in advance. Moderate price for the professional version. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-11-17* Reliable and convenient, very grateful for this app:) ### 5/5 — Solid Forcasting Tool *2025-11-10* Really like the nearshore maps and visualizers… hourly forecast with multiple swell data is great… had a great session today thanks to wave maps… highly recommended! ### 5/5 — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ *2025-11-03* Best forcast app in the appstore!!! ### 5/5 — Best wave forecasting tool I’ve used *2025-11-02* Accurate and easy to use. Definitely my new favorite forecasting tool. ### 5/5 — New generation forecasting App *2025-11-02* This app is as complete as it gets — long-term forecasts, live webcams, clear and easy-to-understand data, and the highest-resolution nearshore model available. Proudly made in Puerto Rico, for the world. 🇵🇷 ### 5/5 — Ciencia del mar hecha fácil *2025-11-01* Wave Maps es una de las herramientas más completas y accesibles que existen para entender el mar, tanto si eres surfista, pescador o amante de la ciencia oceánica. Lo que la hace especial es su capacidad de traducir datos científicos complejos como direcciones de swell, corrientes, temperatura y presión atmosférica en información visual simple y clara. Su interfaz es súper intuitiva y amigable, permitiendo que cualquiera pueda interpretar datos que antes solo estaban al alcance de oceanógrafos o meteorólogos. En lugar de abrumarte con números, te enseña a leer el océano como un lenguaje natural, ayudándote a desarrollar tu conocimiento marino mientras planificas tus sesiones de surf o tus salidas de pesca. Además, la precisión de sus modelos es impresionante. Los mapas interactivos, la combinación de viento, swell y mareas, y las actualizaciones en tiempo real la convierten en una herramienta de aprendizaje y análisis profesional, pero presentada de forma tan clara que se siente como una conversación con el mar. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Useless data hoarding *2026-06-11* Before you can access anything you have to agree to their terms, privacy policy and share your details/make account. **Developer response:** Thanks for your message. We no longer allow guests users, we believe we have an exceptional product and that creating an account is worth it. Cheers ### 2/5 — Not there yet *2026-06-21* 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. **Developer response:** 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! ### 2/5 — Can t fit the screen *2026-04-13* Can t fit the screen of my iPad stays small , cannot enlarge **Developer response:** You are correct, the app was not deigned for iPad, but we are working on an iPad-optimized version. Thanks for the feedback! ### 4/5 — Cámaras *2026-04-23* Muy buena app en mi opinión le está comiendo los dulces o tiene el potencial de comerle los dulces a Surfline y muchas otras apps de forecast. Lo único que me “entristece” es que quitaron las cámaras (al menos el mini view que tenía). Creo que deberían dejarlo integrado en el servicio gratuito, balanceando así lo que ofrece la app en comparación con otras. Porque aquí no se puede ver el forecast semanal ni cámaras cómo en otras apps (por ej surfline) que si tienen cámaras pero con ads. Que esa es otra cosa que creo que sería buena incluir apps de negocios locales de PR. **Developer response:** Gracias por compartir tu opinión! ### 5/5 — Best app for fishing and navigation *2026-08-24* Most useful and certain app , never misses y use it for fishing and navigation and its the best app ### 5/5 — Mejor que Windy *2026-08-22* Uso esta aplicación en vez de Windy porque Windy sigue subiendo los precios y ofreciendo menos. ### 5/5 — Excellent Tool for Coastal Analysis *2026-06-26* 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. ### 5/5 — Top Tier Wave Charts *2026-06-24* Just finding this app from a Instagram post. This is really amazing data. The layout and options are high level. Great work! ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-03-22* Very Accurate. Easy to use. ### 5/5 — Best Fishing-Surf app *2026-02-27* Spot on! ocean intelligence, many features and layers to choose from. Use what best fits your needs! ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best on island *2026-02-26* I am a diving instructor and own a dive shop so surf information is huge for us. This is the best one we found in a long time for Puerto Rico. Highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Bassman *2026-02-16* WaveMaps is incredibly reliable and impressively accurate. Its true ocean intelligence. Transforms complex marine data into clear, actionable insights. Fast, precise, and dependable every time. ### 5/5 — Delete Surfline *2026-01-08* This app is next level on all the levels. Delete Surfline, and download Wavemaps! ### 5/5 — Best metocean forecasting tool *2026-01-05* Wavemaps is the best all-in-one app for metocean forecats. Hands down the most accurate global and nearshore predictions out there. The interface is intuitive and the visualizations are awesome. Great tool for both professionals and anyone who depends on accurate ocean conditions. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
