Buoyweather - Marine Forecasts App Reviews

53 add

Extremely useful

This app is very straightforward, useful and easy to navigate! Highly recommended!!!

Extremely poor app

Dont waste your time.

Spot on

The accuracy of the forecasts are so good on the west coast. Easy to use.

Does not even launch???

Downloaded it and tried to open it... Just getting a blank screen.

Great App, BUT...

Excellent app, one of the better ones for swell heights and winds. But you have to enter your user name and password EVERY TIME to see your save locations. Why? This is most annoying, so much so I had to deduct two stars.

Awkward

Interface is not user friendly. Nags to register / purchase upgrade.

terrible app

I searched for and specifically downloaded this app to determine ocean temperatures in the North Pacific but with every attempt it automatically resets itself to the mid Atlantic. useless.

lousy app

very awkward to use-freezing on my phone

Be upfront

Why not explain how much the premium service is? Cant locate the price anywhere?

Be Upfront #2

I agree with Mark1850 -- simply state the price for the advanced version instead of playing games by requiring our information first. Overrule marketing on this mistake. A good app - but that approach is a major turn-off.

Could be useful but.....

First off as others have mentioned, its a "tease app" to buy an astronomically expensive (IMHO) subscription. The biggest problem is that the numbers (in my version) are all messed up and useless.

Bouyweather

This app is a total ripoff. Your "free trial" automatically converts to a credit card @ $14.95 per month or $79.95 per year. If you are not in the habit of scrutinizing you credit card charges like me you can be in for a big surprise down the road. Besides the app is super clunky and you can get much better info on a variety of free sites.

Idiotic

Dont bother unless you plan to buy the Premium

The money is worth the ease of information

There are lots of websites that can give you wind and swell reports but generally I want one last report a few hours before I sail. The App seems to have been improved since the comments back in 2013 & 2014 because I didnt experience any of the issues stated. But to get quick and accurate information is extremely important so while Free is always nice I felt this was an investment for peace of mind. However, I agree, dont offer something for Free that useless and simply be open with the cost upfront. Otherwise Id give it a 5 star.

Buggy

Cannot set time zone and units on iPhone 6+, which is required to get any info. Deleting immediately.

Broken app in iOS 9 / iOS 9.1

Opens to logo screen then quickly goes to a BLANK WHITE screen. Nothing. No functionality. Totally broken.

Forget it!

Poor app, you cant set time zone and units. Deleted immediately!

Dont waste your money!

The app is poorly made and very difficult to cancel your subscription.

Does not function on iPhone

Cant set time zone or units on I plonked. Tried 2 different models with same result. App will not operate without these settings.

Units

All of a sudden I cant change unit or time zone??? I cant use app now?
