Wheres Charlotte Harbor

Not sure why Charlotte Harbor is not included. Its a huge inshore fishing and sailing spot. Tampa Bay is listed. No good to me if I cant access Charlotte Harbor. Before you buy, confirm your location is represented.

To basic to pay for!!!

Not worth it, there are free apps that do more than this one. No radar no buoy readings no maps just 2 line blurb about the that days/weeks weather. I bought Outcast app at the same time. Much better, same price but everything you would expect that this one SHOULDVE HAD. Dont bother with this one people, its a waste.

Good weather overview

This simple and handy. Not too much information, just what you need for your outings. Was definitely a good buy.

Doesnt work for Puerto Rico

There is no disclosure that this app does NOT include PR as one of the states (even though PR is a US territory). I purchased this app and now i cant even use it! If I dont get my money back then you people robbed me. There should be a disclosure!!!!

Fishing fool

Move the inland water ways not supported to the top of page. Spent $2.99 for not

Does what is says

I am running os4 and have had no problems at all running the app. If you have a boat and want to know what the conditions will be before you get under way this is the perfect app for you. Works great..

Overpriced App

This app is overpriced for the information that provides. The description of the app is misleading and only after I downloaded I was able to see that the price was not justified. The information provided is just the exact message issue by the national weather report that can be obtained free from any weather station. It does not provide any detail information as barometric pressure, air speed, wave size or frequency, water temperature or anything of value to a sailor. I am asking for a refund.

Horrible

Lying crap. Do not buy.

Great App

Great app for quick review of boating weather and conditions. Have used it up and down the US East coast and find it very handy. I would ignore the one star reviews because it doesnt include lakes or PR, it never did.

Solid but missing a couple of things

I really like the simple NOAA display, but it REALLY needs to offer an option to read the forecast discussion, not just the predictions.

Needs Tide Info

App is good but needs to show daily tide (high and low) information.

Needs Synopsis

Repeated suggestions to these guys has been fruitless. No updates either. Without the associated synopsis of the marine forecast its useless. You can this info for free, with synopsis from NOAAs website, just not in app form.

Mr

Do NOT Buy!! This is one of the worst apps I have ever bought. It is the first time I am disappointed in apple for letting such garbage be sold. You get one line of information that is very vague. No detail only one information screen. Do NOT Buy this!!!

Simplicity

This is exactly what I was looking for...an app that presented the NWS Marine Forecast in a simple, easier to read format than scrolling through the website on an iPhone.

Synopsis of NOAA Weather Print Out

App runs fine and has some decent basic features. It gives you a highly readable NOAA forecast for an ocean area, similar to if you flipped on your VHF and listened to a forecast zone. (Except that it is printed). Or, very similar to a forecast fax, if you know what that is. For me, it was worth it at $1.99 to have it at easy access. The app would be cool if these guys could tie in some other weather data though. That would make it a 4 or 5 star.

Do not buy

Very Very misleading!! This app must be good for this company only! It has nothing about my local area which it clearly states it does. The app states that it will help n your area. Well, my area is the very very large TN river. The local news gives the lake water info and I was looking for an app with the same info. I GOT BURNED ON THIS APP!!! Do Not Buy!!!! Please, I say again, Do Not Buy!!!!! These folks have ruined my trust n apps. By the way. They claim their a BBB company. Im contacting the BBB and giving them my bad report on this company. Dont try calling this company to complain about their app. Ull get answer machine!!!

Boating Weather

This app does exactly what it advertises. Much easier to get the info than surfing the web on the phone. Minimal interface. Apparently no way to delete favorites once they are established.

Does what it says

Pulls the NOAA offshore forecast.

Yes

Excellent! It is the same weather you get on VHF without the endless waiting. Invaluable when filling out logs.

Time saver

This app gives me exactly what I expected, my forecast with a tap of a button. This app is great for quick access if u dont care about radars and other bells and whistles.
