Latest reviews of Buoy Explorer NOAA Marine Weather Conditions app for iPhone and iPad
That was a complete waste of money. Never worked... At all. App support was useless. Very disappointed
Do not get this app. Not user friendly! This should be deleted from App Store!
Used this all last year on Georgian Bay collecting data from 5 or 6 buoys around me. It was vital in planning routes and trips where open water was not avoidable. Early 2014 some buoys were not sending data yet and I was receiving connectivity error messages. App works great, simple user interface and very accurate. App developer was quick to respond to questions. Highly recommend this app to anyone who boats.
Shows me marine conditions quickly. Really like the design.
Great app for surfing, intuitive navigation, makes me wish I was surfing!
