Finally...

Amongst the plethora of weather apps someone has finally written a sensible one for those of us who spend our time outside, and particularly on the water. This has quickly become indispensable for me as I move my yacht up and down the east coast.

It works.

Quite simply, this App is excellent. The App itself works in a very practice way. The information is presented well and most importantly is of good quality. Don't hesitate to get it and soon it will be your main weather App.

Excellent

It would be even better if you could plot your position (of the boat) projected for the next 1 2 3 days so that you will easily see the weather conditions during a crossing. But very satisfied.
