Over your morning coffee you know where to go. IslaBu tells you where the sun is on the Canary Islands, where the sea is calm, whether calima is coming – and why. TODAY ON YOUR ISLAND • The day's recommendation in one sentence: which beach and when. • Sky, temperatures and sea by part of the island – the north is often cloudy while the south is sunny. • UV, calima and sunset at a glance. • Official warnings from AEMET and the Government of the Canary Islands, always on top. A SCORE FOR EVERY BEACH – WITH THE WHY • Swim and beach scores from 0 to 100 for hundreds of beaches and natural pools. • We work out whether a beach is sheltered from today's waves: we know which way it faces and where the swell comes from. • Every number comes with a reason: "calm sea", "offshore wind", "waves 1.5 m". 48 HOURS AHEAD • Hour by hour: score, clouds, temperature, wind, waves and UV. • High and low tide, as a guide. • Water temperature, swell and wind direction. MAP AND FAVORITES • Every beach on the island on a map, colored by its score. • Save your favorite beaches – they stay on your phone only. • Directions to the beach in one tap. All 8 inhabited islands: Gran Canaria, Tenerife, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, La Palma, La Gomera, El Hierro and La Graciosa. In English, Spanish, German, Czech and Polish. Free, no sign-up, no tracking. The score is a guide. Flags and lifeguards always come first. Data: AEMET, Gobierno de Canarias, Open-Meteo, Copernicus, OpenStreetMap, EEA. IslaBu by inBee.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: IslaBu at none against Wisuki's 2. IslaBu also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months). Wisuki's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price there is nothing between them.
