WEATHERTRACK
Amazing Weather Details at your Fingertips. Worldwide.
"An incredibly comprehensive weather app - it accesses many data models from different agencies and provides worldwide coverage. The GRIB layers include wind, precipitation, wave height/direction/period, ocean and tidal currents, air and sea temps, relative humidity and more. WeatherTrack works offline, and GRIB files can be downloaded through an SSB connection, an Iridium AxcessPoint or as an email attachment and opened in the app." (App of the month! in Cruisingworld)

WeatherTrack, the Swiss Army Knife for Weather Enthusiasts! One app - many tools
We have been using this app for the last few years whilst travelling on our boat. We started in California and sailed down the Pacific Coast of Mexico into the sea of Cortes then continued stopping many times along the way, down the Central American coast to Panama, through the canal and into the Caribbean and up the east coast of the USA as far as South Carolina. It has consistently given us accurate and reliable forecasts.Now cruising the Mediterranean and still the best!

I find this facility very useful in conjunction with the information on the position of the jet stream. It gives a very good indication of the weather to come. Excellent for work planning.
Good

Simple effective accurate
Latest versions rubbish

Used to be a great app but in recent versions they seem to have completely broken the weather routing functionality, grib maps now move relative to the planet, and it’s not clear whether the data is for a different location or the data is misrepresented on the chart. In any event the result renders the function useless.
Developer Response
This is the GRIB optim function, you are downloading GRIs with a certain estimated speed and course. These GRIB files are supposed to move. Just enter zero as speed and course before downloading a GRIB file to turn that function off, which is in WeatherTrack since the very beginning.
New:
* Add a swipe to the right gesture on GRIB files to refresh.
Fix:
* Fix meteogram title placement on first display.
* More stability fixes.
