Ratings and Reviews
A very important service
We always check the weather forecast before going out on the harbour…. The information provided is very informative and allows us to plan our days and stay safe
The ads are a safety issue
Ashore, it’s a great app and contributes considerably, along with other sources of information, to mariners ability to factor in the weather to passage plans. However, like most other internet dependant sources, it fairly useless 10 miles offshore unless you have an expensive satellite communication facility.
At the extremes of cellular service coverage, the ads spend forever downloading first, such that the forecast is often lost due to time-outs, intermittent coverage and all the other issues inherent in trying to get a signal at the extremes of cellular coverage. It’d be much better if the forecast downloaded first and the ads played second fiddle to the important safety information that is the weather forecast.
5 days forecast available now - hooray
Great to see that 5 day forecasts are available now ! Having the advert screen load first is a real pain, often in poor coverage areas (like at sea !) it takes too long and the forecast can fail to load. Having a single “warning” banner is pretty misleading as it may only apply for a particular area and for a short time. Otherwise works well.
