User Reviews
Great app for checking into about lake
If you like to beach or boat 😊👍🏻
Kind of a waste of money. I live 90 miles from Lake Michigan and would like to know wave conditions before leaving the house. Those are not working.
I’m in Northern lower Michigan on Lake Michigan. Every report is waves of 1 ft or less, yet I’m watching waves crash over the break wall in Leland. Does not give me great confidence as a lake tool.
Looking for help about the weather for our fishing trip, downloaded app, paid 2.99, but didn’t get the info we were looking for…
Information I found most useful when I first got this app is the Buoy Data which no longer loads. About a month ago the screen just keeps trying to load but never does. Very disappointing.
Very easy to use. Has all the information one needs to plan a safe boating trip. I use it as my weather app as it gives detailed and accurate forecasts over several days.
Useless
Excellent and multiple usefulness. A must have for us, especially when operating on Lake Michigan.
A quick look at the marine weather for a point on the map. Use this to navigate up and down the west coast of Michigan. Not sure the wave by prediction is always accurate, but maybe it’s my imagination let the waves are 1 foot larger than they expect. The one complaint I have is that a weather alert pops up every time I launch the app or change the point. But I have yet to figure out how to see what the NWS alert is for.
