I love this app for planning sailing and surfing trips. I used to be able to see swells- on the best model view and now it only shows up on ALL model view. I don't really want to see all models as it takes up a lot of screen real estate. I also want to change the time zone from GMT to HST but can't find an option to do so. This would help me more accurately plan trips. I use android and would appreciate all the neet IOS perks to be added too. Why punish android users because we hate APPLE?

Hello Kathy! Thank you for such an insightful review! To see the swell data even with the 'Best model' on please switch to Surf/Boat/Dive/Kitesurf profile (small square button near model picker on the spot screen). WRT to the time zone please contact us at [email protected] and expand on your request. We'd be happy to assist.

I want to like this app, but can't. The use of multiple weather sources is good and there is lots of info and possibilities to configure it. But the app design is not up to standard. The GUI lacks a permanent home button, so if you looked at several weather spots on the map, you have to click back through all of them before going back to the home menu. Also, the weather station database seems messed up. if I click weather stations near me (NL), I end up seeing info for UK spots. Sorry, but no.

Good app content, but horrible notifications: splash screen to sell the premium plan almost each time you open the app. The worst are random push notification to notify you of the premium plan. No privacy/notification options among the Settings. They use data from GFS27 so other apps offer the same content and less annoying UX. Another annoying pop-up is the "There's an update on the app" pop-up. My phone updates all my apps at night while charging. Why is it so important to update right now?

Rain, Rain, Rain

Precipitation forecasts just became more detailed and accurate with 9 additional weather models! Perfect for fall, right?

Open the map, switch to ā€œRain,ā€ and try a model other than GFS27. Watch thunderstorms, weather fronts, and other heavy weather head your way so you can stay prepared.
