Best Buoy App for Surfers
This is by far the best buoy app for surfers. All the right info, clean interface, and includes an Apple Watch face and Widgets for your iPhone Home Screen. Great jobs guys — thank you!!
Developer Response ,
Thanks for the review, we really appreciate it. Keep tuned as we have some cool updates coming soon 👍
Cheers.
PLEASE ADD watchOS WIDGET!!
edit: received developer response. amended rating. hoping to see continued progress :^)
i’ve had this app for a long time. for a while i thought it’d been abandoned, but recently it has been getting better fairly consistently. i recently paid for the Pro version and, while i have no idea what exactly that entitles one to, i will note that the data refreshes seem more immediate and snappy. is that Pro? dunno. the developer needs to follow Apple’s lead with watchOS 10 and pivot the app to a “Widget first” functionality, which massively improves background refresh while minimizing battery impact. PLEASE ADD watchOS WIDGET!! the improvements are welcome. hope to see more
Developer Response ,
Thanks for the review.
The app is constantly being updated. Apart from adding new buoys, latest watchOS updates included Wind and Wave complications for the buoys that have this data.
watchOS Smart Stack WIDGET is on the pipeline, however I’ve been holding on it as it’s a fairly medium size task and I might need to drop older watchOS support.
Please bear in mind that I am a solo developer so adding a three star review will push me more to abandon the app than to get new features implemented.
There is a "contact support" button in the app directly send me an email with questions, feedback, feature requests, etc.
Best regards,
Pablo.
