Ratings and Reviews
Love this FREE app
I use this app all the time with no problems. We used it to travel the ICW Atlantic this fall and it was our guide to our travel plans each day. Only reason I am giving it 4 stars is that on my iPhone (iPhone 6s) it displays the map and locations making it easy to use. When my husband loads the app on his iPhone 8 we cannot get the map to appear, even though we compared all our settings to ensure we were the same. He has the latest iOS loaded so not sure if it is an issue with the iPhone 8?
Would highly recommend this easy to use app and hope to get it working on the iPhone 8 with a Street / Wind map like it does on my iPhone 6s.

Hi RH. On your iPhone 8, you may have cellular data turned Off for SailFlow! On your iPhone, try going to the phone's Settings app. Tap Cellular. Scroll down to SailFlow and make sure cellular data is ON for SailFlow. You can also contact us at support@sailflow.com
Unable to use favorites list
I used to love this app. However, it has become less user friendly over the years. Stations that have favorited no longer show up in my favorites list and every time I click on the station where I sail, I get a pop-up telling me to “favorite” the station… but I “favorited” it years ago, and last week, and again this week. After looking around the app to find my favorites again, I found them under the “Master Profile” option in the favorites tab. However, it is now an unusable menu because every time I click on a station, it asks me to upgrade my account or sign in. I am already signed in on the app with my free account. If I find the station I’m looking for on the map, I can still access the blend models of plus/pro stations. Why can’t I access these same pro/plus stations from my favorites list now with a free account?

More location-specific forecasting
You get weather specific to a more precise area. WU might give you a general forecast of rain and thunderstorms, which might be true somewhere in your forecast area, yet miss the mark for where you wish to sail. That’s weather in Florida! This app forecast the thunderstorms about 3-4 hours later for my vicinity of interest and was on the money. So this app is more helpful when you need a window of just 1-2 hours. If this app said thunderstorms or too-strong wind conditions were imminent for my vicinity/time of interest, I wouldn’t bother to try sailing that day.

We appreciate your vote of confidence, Barbershop Brad!
