Description
Do you want to get your weather charts without using an internet connection or a dedicated computer? HF Weather Fax lets you receive marine weather radiofascimile transmissions, using the audio from your HF marine radio. Just set it next to the radio's speaker or headphones, tune in a weather fax frequency, and watch the images come in. The app can also receive audio from Bluetooth audio devices.
HF Weather Fax is perfect for mariners who want to be able to view the latest weather reports and forecasts.
Received fax images can be manually or automatically saved, and viewed later. You can also export them to your computer using iTunes.
There is also a built in copy of the NOAA/NWS Radiofacsimile schedule, and an option to download the latest copy of the schedule from the NWS website.
Visit the support page for step by step instructions showing how to use the app: http://www.blackcatsystems.com/ipad/iPad_HF_FAX_Weather_Fax_App_FAQ.html
Buy your copy right now, and start decoding and displaying weather fax transmissions in minutes.

Ratings and Reviews
Excellent app
This is one of the best apps available for cruisers in need of NOAA forecasts. I use it frequently offshore and for passage planning. Highly recommended.
Great!
Using a Kaito 1103 radio and no connecting cable (just the iPad microphone), I’m getting clear weather fax reception even when the signal doesn’t sound great. Yesterday I managed to get good images from stations 1000, 2000, and 4000km away. I’ve ordered a cable just so I won’t have to listen to the radio while it’s receiving.
The only annoyance is that some images are transmitted rotated by 90 degrees, but it’s easy to flick on the iPad screen rotation lock when viewing those.
Meh
No matter how clean the audio the fax was always almost unreadable.
