NOAA Buoy and Tide Data for Positive User Reviews
✓ Must have for boatersIf you fish or boat, current weather conditions are important. A touch or two of your phone gives you all the info you need before you go. Now even better you got radar images of the area to let you know if it's raining or not! Good work!.Version: 4.5
✓ Nice and easy to work withI wish they would add the moon phase to this app, it's useful to have to figure neaps and spring tides. also, it's a good app when you're in a wifi zone (ipod touch here) but not so good when you're not, it tries to update all the time, i like to pull up the info and have it available as a reference at the destination. consider for an upgrade..Version: 0
✓ CaySeaEasy to use and gives you accurate up to date information when you need it. I like the icon based main screen as it is easy on old eyes. I find this to be a very valuable tool to help verify weather forecasts. Easy to find info for your area instantly..Version: 0
✓ Great App!I use this app all the time. Gives real time conditions immediately with all pertinent information at a moments glance. Even useful when you're not boating and just want to see what conditions are like for the beach or even wind conditions for your golf game. A heck of alot more accurate than the tv weather report..Version: 0
✓ The BEST!Hands-down my favorite weather app for near a decade now. Excited to see it’s being actively developed again. This is by far the best weather app for any nautical area. No frills, accurate and timely data from an authentic, authoritative source. Thank you for developing this- I depend on it every day. 🙏🏼👍🏼.Version: 8.05
✓ Excellent; Maybe Life-SavingThis app provides ship reports of actual conditions around me in the Bahamas. When the weather is supposed to deteriorate, or when I don't trust the forecast (which is often) I use this app to find out what is really happening. When the forecaster calls for a front with winds, say, in the 20-25kt range, I get the ship reports sorted by distance to see if it is better or worse than expected. Frequently, I have seen ship reports of winds far in excess of the predictions. The map view allows me to follow the front as it approaches and to check whether a report likely represents a localized squall or a general condition on the other side of the front. This allows me to take precautions like setting another anchor, or reefing the sails, or finding sheltered harbour. The data is presented very well. I have tried to find it directly at NOAA, but with no success. It is pretty challenging to pick a few reports out of a long tabular list of NOAA data when the weather's getting bad at sea. The map function is critical. Admittedly, you do have to have Internet access on your boat to use this, but that is becoming much cheaper and more readily available. This is the only weather app that allows me to easily check actual conditions. I use it almost every day..Version: 4.5
✓ Bouy informationSimple and easy to use. Would be nice to have a map showing location of bouy, mainly when going to destinations different than your home port. Otherwise it's excellent..Version: 0
✓ Great before, awesome now!Wonderful app that is exceptional with the lastest update. Great screens, easy navigation, timely info. Love the quick link to NOAA forecast data from the buoy. Indispensible for sailors and great for anyone who craves weather info. Thanks to the developers for a job very well done!.Version: 0
✓ App works flawlessly.Had this app for sometime now and it has never failed me. Updated to latest version (both phone and app), and have had zero problems. Great work!.Version: 0
✓ Excellent marine data serviceQuick access to nearby or favorite buoys. Includes ship reports. Tide stations. Lots of goodies. My favorite "real time" marine weather app..Version: 7.8
✓ Best App for the Professional MarinerAs a yacht delivery captain who delivered vessels all over the world, this app has been my go-to marine weather resource. I have bought other apps that claim to be NOAA Data Buoy but fail miserably in provide NOAA textual data. This app provides marine weather forecasts as well as current and historical data verbatim from NDBC/NOAA. Don’t waste your time or money. Take it from a professional mariner. This is the app you need..Version: 8.02
✓ Best Buoys AppI am not sure why this app is getting some very low ratings. It's easy to use on my iPhone 6. I like having the list of nearest buoys so I can choose one - or view all of them on a map. You can always search for buoys that aren't near you easily if you are planning trip..Version: 7.7
✓ Wow! Great Program!Wow! I love the version 4 update. The screens are much easier to navigate, and I really like the thumbnail view of each station. The map views are much faster and display better too. The addition of tides is a huge plus and made it so I didn't need a separate tide app. I also like that the speed of rivers are included. I have a kayak, and it's great to know when a river is running faster, so we can plan our paddle accordingly. Thanks for the update!.Version: 0
✓ Wave height...This program provides data available in real time that is, simply stated, available. If you spend any time on NDBC you will know that not all buoys provide identical information and many do not provide wave height or distance between. Good job Verona. Joel..Version: 0
✓ Great Buoy Data ReaderUpdated review for 2.1: new features are great, easier to search. The app works exactly for what I need it for. It takes my current location and lists the closest NOAA Buoy's and lets you choose which one you want a reading from. Works as well as described. Highly recommend!.Version: 0
✓ Thank you for the long termI set the app aside for years after apple undeveloped the platform. Today Buoy Data is as good as the day it started, lol..Version: 7.8
✓ Period please!Cool simple little app but surfers and anyone interested in the waves need to see the period data! Please please add APD info. Like the map view and that info comes from ships as well as buoys..Version: 0
✓ Great appGood app...easy to zero in on buoy near you and good information if you want tide, temp and wind I your boating area. I tried a couple of wind ones that were a total waste of money...just deleted as waste of space on phone. This one is a keeper. Only logical thing....be sure there is a NOAA buoy near you.Version: 5.02
✓ Don't leave home without itI use this app various times throughout the day whether I am out in the water or not. Would never think of leaving the dock without checking with this app. The new upgrades puts everything at your fingertips and is very user friendly..Version: 7.7
✓ Good simple solid appI use this all the time. It's accurate and easy to use. Actually reports buoy data so there is no prediction, it's fact. I have sat next to bout 10 miles offshore and temp and swell dead on. I wish it did some swell map predictions and some SST predictions but I doesn't that I can find. Oh well, like I said it's a ample app that works great..Version: 5.11
✓ Best surf app out thereSince the update for the iPhone 4 this app has been indispensable for checking buoy reports and tides. Searchable, updates easily, gives maps and lists of all buoy and tide spots and allows favorites without requiring a login. Worth every penny..Version: 4.5
✓ Please updateAloha, I really like the format of this app. But now it does not load on my iPad Pro 11” running software 15.6.1 version..Version: 8.6
✓ Excellent!!!No other app combines the features and usability found in this one. As avid boaters, my husband and I rely on it all the time..Version: 7.8
✓ Excellent Ap!Finally! This is THE ap for bouy data. I've tried three others that were not near as easy as this one. Automatic bouy finding, scrollable distance to bouy setup. Super quick. I would have paid more for this!.Version: 0
✓ Buoys IncompleteThe app is excellent. The data is not as rich as the buoy web data, but it is up to date. The app comes with some buoys preloaded on the map, I had to find my local buoy via the link provided and select it, after which it appeared as a pin on the buoy map. The support is great, they answered my inquiry within hours and solved my confusion. Great tool for figuring out if the wind is right for sailing..Version: 0
✓ Steve f PerryGreat app. It gives you the basic info you need at the touch of your fingertips without having to do alot of searching. If you need more details, you can do so easily. The added map view is awesome. Highly recommend this app..Version: 0
✓ Touch also has a 4.0 update!!I did not realize that the Touch also has a 4.0 update, not just the iPhone. I'll try it and I'm betting it will be fine again! Sorry Verona. Update: I upgraded to Touch 4.0 and it works fine!.Version: 0
✓ Fixed and working!I submitted a review saying the app keeps crashing when I try to open the app, preventing me from using the app, and I asked for the developers to fix this issue. Within days of submitting the review they released an update that solved the issue and the app works great! Thank you for the great customer service!.Version: 8.03
✓ Perfect easy way to check the NOAA BuoysEasy access, especially using favorites to the buoys you use the most. Data is easy to read and understand. a must have for any fisherman!.Version: 0
✓ GreatGreat presentation of NOAA buoys and tide charts. All info available from particular buoys is available including water temperature for some. More detailed weather than many weather apps. Easy and fast to find the info you need. Like the new lunar phase feature too..Version: 5.0
✓ Great but (follow up RPT)I reported yesterday that the program would not load. Turns out was a bug in my 3G iPhone. The program was A--OK all along. I go offshore fishing the Texas coast every week. I use Buoy Data before every trip. Sometimes I'll use NOAA WX on the computer, but actually, I can get everything I want and need faster right here. Combine this app with "TideGraph" and a good WX radar program -- and you're ready to roll. From a carreer airline pilot who knows the meaning of planning ahead..Version: 0
✓ Updated reviewFunctionality works very well though saving Favorites may take a couple of attempts. Having multiple buoy readinhs at a glance and drilling down for more detail makes thus app a must for cruising mariners or those wondering if they should venture 50+ miles to their boat for a day sail. Well done!.Version: 0
✓ Link to NOAAThis app is terrific. Current conditions at the buoy plus an easy link to the National Weather Service Forecast for the area encompassing that buoy. Just tap the Wave or Cloud icon and shezaaam. The link provides the current dynamic radar map and the 5-day forecast for the Zone, including wave height, wind speed & direction. Having this info close at hand is a great aid to setting up a float plan..Version: 4.5
✓ Great app.This is a great app. I work on tug boats and have to cross the Gulf of Alaska on a regular basis. This app makes getting the bouy reports and forcasts WAY easier then navigating NOAA's site. One thing that would be nice is a search function so you can type in a bouy's number or name, instead of having to increase the distance from your location till the bouy you want comes up. Also don't listen to the people that give this app a low score as most of them don't realize that NOAA only puts these bouy's offshore. Although you can look at weather stations that are based on land..Version: 0
✓ A very handy appA very well thought out application and interface. It was very easy to find the weather stations and buoys close to my location and then build a list of favorites for future reference. The page for each buoy gave the major categories of wind, wave and weather information. The link to the NOAA buoy home page makes for quick reference to the graphs for wave heights trends. My favorite new application..Version: 0
✓ No longer functionsShut down phone Reloaded app Hasn’t updated in 7 days Received a response from developers Apparently the problem is with noaa.Version: 8.05
