I love the app it’s the best/most accurate app I’ve used for fishing my only reason I give it a 4 star is because premium cost to much$$$.
I have come to depend on this app to help me plan fishing trips and to make go/no go decisions prior to launching my boat.
When you go offshore this is the app to use as you plan and the day of your trip. All the data is in one place with easy to understand data and graphics. It’s a must have app for me.
You come a long way baby! As the software continues to evolve and improve so shall the improvements. There's is one thing that I want to see in the future. Information about the run and their migration patterns? Knowing more about where, what, and when would be sweet for the haul. Keep up the great work!
Better apps for the money
Just downloaded the app and was asked to either sign in or register. I have never been on buoywrather so I tried to register my info. After entering my info, it says no user found. I will be deleting.
This app does exactly as it claims, giving accurate weather forecasts for your chosen area! Easy to set up and read.
I have been using this app for many years and in different areas. It’s has been as accurate as anyone could ask for, based on predicating Mother Nature! I rely on it for seas and wind and it’s rarely off by much! I would buy it again
Glad I hit this for our trip to Antarctica. Felt great knowing the Drake Passage would be calm on our crossing. Will now use it on all our water-crossing trips. Sadly, app is not intuitive. Difficult to set favorites among things needing tweaking.
Save your money - this app is absolutely horrible. When you open the forecast, you can’t close the screen without having to end the app and relaunch. Seriously bad.
