NOAA Buoy and Tide Data App Reviews

Neglects to provide important swell height and period data for buoys that have this info on the NOAA website. Useless app if you want to know ocean surface conditions.

We live in Central Florida and my husband fishes offshore out of Port Canaveral and this app tells him if the seas are fishable for him in his size boat .

I walk my dogs next to the SF Bay, and this app will tell me the temperature and velocity of the wind off the water. My regular weather app (Weather On) is right on the money for ambient temp and wind speed, but the buoy data tells me the wind temp and speed off the water, and whether or not Ill need a jacket. Maybe a "one trick pony", but its really good at it, and I use it every day for that. The tide data is there also, but is easier to read in Tide Graph Pro. Id buy both, if youre by the water. Tip: Pick a few “favorite” buoys near you, and those are the only ones that will come up when you tap favorites (so you don’t have to sort through all the weather on the coast, but you can if you wish). The app responds quickly, so the delay from home; screen to favorite buoy air temp and wind speed takes about 3 or 4 seconds max. Simple, and well written. Good Job.

This app is awfull, difficult to use, and very limited in scope. I would like my money refunded.

Very good app and its pretty accurate when it comes to future wind speed. Its a must have with every fishermen.

Provides everything that I need when at the shore. I usually need tide info, bouy info and weather map. This app provides all, wave height would be a plus.

Dont buy

I appreciate and use this app every day for work, but it would be amazing it the app were configured so that it was compatible with the Apple Watch. Thanks!!

I use this all the time. Its accurate and easy to use. Actually reports buoy data so there is no prediction, its fact. I have sat next to bout 10 miles offshore and temp and swell dead on. I wish it did some swell map predictions and some SST predictions but I doesnt that I can find. Oh well, like I said its a ample app that works great.

I use this app almost daily and have for years. When its working its great. Im using a 6s and it doesnt seem to be updated to function like it should. Its laggy. I frequently have to close it out and re-open. Hoping its fixed soon or Ill be shopping around. Please update!!
