Yachting Weather Reviews

Great app for yachtsmen

The meat king

Used it for the past 2 weeks and found it accurate and very useful. Would love to see an auto location function

DEVELOPERS: Please READ, and DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS APP! No professional weather forecast defaults wind direction as the direction the wind is blowing “to”. NONE. Wind direction is ALWAYS stated as “out of”. ALWAYS. No exceptions. Well, except this app. And, that is not “inverted” - your default is what is inverted! Also, who states precipitation as “mm/in”, or “L/m2”? How about a straight depth in inches, mm or meters? Why would someone endeavor to write an app about a subject of which they seem to have so little apparent knowledge (either weather or sailing)? Have you ever heard of distances being stated in terms of “Metrical/Imperial”? Me neither! How do I get nautical vs. statute miles? And, what does “mp/h” even mean for speed? MAKE KNOTS AT OPTION FOR ALL SPEED SETTINGS! It should even be the DEFAULT! Sailors don’t use miles per hour or meters met hour - THEY USE KNOTS! There are undefined symbols for waves, with numbers that are frightening. What does “7s 9m” represent? It isn’t listed in the key. Makes me not trust any app from ESIRION.

Insufficient help info

I supposed the forecast is only as good as the data received from the weather services, but as I write, seas are running 90 degrees from what the forecast shows, and ha for most of the day. The descriptions of the forecast icons are too vague. “Wave heights” - is that peaks, averages, or what? A single number for wave heights is minimally helpful. What about swells? I find the app minimally helpful, mostly because it isn’t even remotely accurate!

Useful app

When pin is dropped, you need the Id of that data source. Also, need to be able to slid the pin around. Buoy data is a must in future updates

Pretty decent

Bug out box

If you just need to get an idea of what conditions may be for a particular area this app does the job. I use it on my Phone when I am considering a fishing trip and am not by a computer. It is simple to use on an IPhone or iPad .

No help

Last Call

I am sitting on my boat in Lake Erie and this app can't find weather for my location.

Good!

Just wish instead of 3 days of weather forecasts it would be better if it was a 10 day forecast.

Yachting???

I just updated hoping for more information. It seems a yachting program would provide wave height info.

Good and bad

Here's the good: I get the most accurate wind forecasts using this app. I drop a pin on the map in the area I do most if my sailing and I think it leveraged forecasts from surrounding areas to get the forecast for this one spot. More accurate than the five other apps I use. Here's the bad: I can get a forecast for 11am and then 5pm, not in between. Apparently, if I pay the $8 for the pro version I can also get 2pm. Really?! That's it?! And to the reviewer who complained wave height isn't in there, well I see it. Might be only for certain locations.
