IMPORTANT NOTE: With this App we display all the AVAILABLE weather data provided by NOAA at each location (buoy station).

Hence, do not leave (please) a bad review for something we can't fix, as on reviews depends our survival on the market.

I like the app, I choose to use it mostly to figure out the sea state and swells. The only thing is a lot of the time the swells are not included in the data that is given. I understand that this is not the apps fault that it is what info the buoy is giving but I figure everyone
Turned to crap over the winter.

Last summer, I was able to see all of the weather buoys on the great lakes. Finding the relevant ones was a bit of a bother, but once selected ad favorites, it was great. Now, the GLERL buoys are a premium purchase and the app seems to select the buoys that I have checked recently as my favorites (I may check buoys in Florida to see what a hurricane is doing, but most of the time I really don’t care about it).All in all, this app is now pretty useless and it’s going away.

Live views!

I use this app often to evaluate conditions for offshore fishing and the live view from select buoys is fantastic. I continue to use other sources for detailed sea conditions and forecasts, but a picture is worth a thousand words! (Premium subscription user)

If you don't see specific data on a particular buoy, it is not the app's fault but rather a lack of information from NOAA.If you require any further information, feel free to contact us at: plusmeteoapp@gmail.com Thanks and have a great day.Marine Team
So useful

I have been using NOOA Buoys on and off since 2017… got to say that the much needed recent update came with the real time buoy cam feature which is by far the best thing this app has done! I hope you get the picture.
