Have used paid version many years sailing in Bahamas, CA Channel Isls & Great Lakes US. Excellent download speed & ability to save forecasts -esp. in areas w/ poor connectivity. Very good that it includes isobars -would be nice if they had a numeric label or possibly were colored.. Inclusion of cold fronts would be good. That said, I realize too much data will affect speed. Love that it now includes CAPE, although I wish CAPE was also included in "Data" table -it is already in Meteogram. Edited

It would be an excellent app if it actually worked for the Great Lakes. A good amount of the data is missing in the Great Lakes, and no source will produce wave info (including WW3 that is specifically wave information for the Great Lakes). I attempted to contact the developer in regard to this issue (before giving a mediocre public review), but received no response. Edited

Earlier l had reason to contact the developers and they couldn't have been more helpful. The application works perfectly. And now 5 years later it still is brilliant! Update. Hasn't been updated since 2016, but maybe as it works perfectly on my highend phone it doesn't need to be so. If it works, don't fix it! Further update a few years later. It works perfectly well on Android 10 Samsung galaxy s9+. A wonderful application

Used for several years now. Always been as reliable as can be expected with something as variable as weather. Data always quick to download. Only criticism is speed at which it runs weather sequence. Would be good if there was an option to run at full speed or half speed or quarter speed.

A great little app. Still great on a Sony Z3 and on the XZ. I have used this app for years (now on a Samsung S25) and love the fact that you can save the forecast for when you are offline.
