Description

The Shipping Forecast from the UK Met office is a tight, compact meteorological forecast for the areas around the UK and Ireland used by boats in the region.

Due to its poetic structure, it has a listenership far beyond its intended audience. It lends itself nicely to relaxation and focus. These minutes can be saved to Health app for mindfulness credit.

Depending on your available time, you can select between short, medium and long versions and the Text-to-Speech voice will read the dynamic forecast.

Don’t be fooled

This is a computerised american reading of the shipping forecast rather than the trade mark soothing voices of the actual forecast readers.
It’s neither soothing nor accurate as the computerised voice can’t cope with some of the names.

Nice idea, but....

Yes, I'm a "dyed-in-the-wool-BBC Radio-4-until-I-die" person. 😄 However: as a regular insomniac, one of reasons the shipping forecast is so soothing is entirely down to the intonation. A synthesised American text-to-speech voice misses the point by an margin almost incalculable! GET RID OF IT - please. Also, is this app actually the current forecast? I couldn't tell. Great idea but work needed on some fundamental things.

Great

I like this app,very useful when I'm out and about,very simple to access
