NOAA Marine Forecast & Weather Customer Service

As of now this is my go or no go app when planning a kayak fishing trip. I have used It over 10 times and the information was spot on. It takes the NOAA data and presents in a very easily understandable way. Just tap on where you want to be at and that is it. I like the wind data and the swell info. If the wind is over 7 kts or the swell is over 3 ft it is time to stay home and do something else.

This app has become my first choice when planning fishing trips. The weather and sea condition forecasts are generally very accurate, and the tide predictions are very helpful too. I do wish there was a little more info on the tide predictions though, perhaps a little more granularity so it’s easier to see tide changes at half hour intervals.

It’s like a copy and paste from the NOAA website, but much easier to navigate and more streamlined I love it. I do a lot of passage planning and I use this app, I double check noaas website every now and then and it’s always been pretty much word for word. I can’t recommend it enough

Impossible to find local marine forecast for where I live .. it is available for nearby areas but those are useless when it comes to tides.. this app is more accurate, full of good detail that anyone who plays or works on the ocean would want to know!

This is a fantastic app. I have been using it for several years now and the information is almost always accurate. I live in a remote area and if I want to go town, it’s a 14 mile trip across the bay, this is the second thing I look at, the first is sky outside my window.

I really enjoy this app! I always used NOAA weather as a captain in the Merchant Marine. Unfortunately I don’t go to sea anymore but still keep an eye on local weather and the tides for my sons fishing endeavors! I am really impressed with the ease of using this product. As far as I’m concerned NOAA always has the most accurate weather forecasts. Thank You for sharing this app

Love this app. Very easy to use once you know how it works. Choice of point forecast vs zone forecast is very useful. Attached tide chart is a big plus. What you need all in one app. Only thing I would like to see is a weather radar ability. Then it would be my only app.

Really surprised me since this app is very intuitive and easy to use as well the pleasant graphic layout complete the positive impression. I’m very happy to have discovered it. Down in the Florida Keys it’s an essential application for boaters and local living people

Very simple to operate. I run a 21-foot Whaler offshore and the app is much more fun and user-friendly than the clunky NOAA site where it draws its data from. Has it’s only limitation in that the NOAA site goes into hibernation every so often and the App then tells you that it’s loading data as it endlessly cycles. P Good app and worth the small fee.

By far the easiest way I have found to access all the information from NOAA using a simple graphic interface. I travel constantly and getting marine forecasts other ways has been awkward til now.

Great app for divers. It’s easy to get off the boat, the trick is getting back on! I dive primarily off the NC coast and in the Keys. It’s great at giving the sea conditions so you know what to expect and when to stay on shore. Wave interval would be a great addition.

This is my first stop before I take the boat out 100% of the time! Great for anticipating the big picture overview including wind and waves…direction and strength. Often my go/no go decisions start here!

This is by far my favorite and most accurate weather app. Have used it while boating up and down the ICW for two years now. Spot on.

This app is beautiful and makes it easy to find marine information for the closest point to where I am boating and to jump back out to the zone forecast to see what’s happening offshore. Perfect for Southeast Alaska.

I use this app every day during boating season. It’s easy to find a forecast for any location, with dependable info.

Living on a boat and traveling the ICW it allows us to plan ahead and almost look around the corner to avoid unwanted surprises room for improvements? yes, but a great format and easy to read.

Great info that you can get quickly. The graphics also help you make sure you are getting data for the intended area.

I live in Southeast Alaska and fish offshore a lot with my 15’ whaler and reference this app 1st before planning my trips. Pretty accurate for the ever changing weather around here. I’d recommend it. I use this and the windy

Always accurate and dependable for conditions. Only wish they broke it down more than twice a day.

Very helpful when you need special alerts on weather conditions and stuff. I like it a lot. Thanks! I have another app by the same developer too!

I’m am a licensed charter boat captain and 50+ year scuba diver This app has very complete wave , swell and wind predictions which are necessary to plan boat trips and diving days It’s easy to set up so that with one click I get the info I need. So far the accuracy has been great Picking the area that you want to check is easy. I normally use the noaa site but this one has the info with faster accessibility. Totally recommend it.

I think this is my best source of reliable forecast. I still check two other sources as well before heading offshore!

I like that the tide chart and marine forecast are both presented. It’s also really convenient, being on my phone. The online NOAA marine forecast has more info, in forecasting the weather and the marine forecast. Can you add that extra info here? Thx

Everything I need Nothing I don’t. Accurate. And the don’t collect or share any info. Perfect app.

Essentially for quick weather information. Integrated with NOAA advisories. Slick interface all apps should work as well...

Does not always show wave height info for every location which is important for smaller craft. Otherwise it’s spot on I always check this before going out.

This is a great app. Very useful for getting marine forecasts. The one item that would be great is water temperatures. Here on the shores of Lake Erie, they typically give water temperature from 3 different points. The variance of knowing them can also be helpful. Thanks for a great app.

We live 2 yrs. away from our boat in Tarpon Springs. We rely on the short and extended forecasts before driving to the area. This app is a definite go-to necessity. 👍

We are on the Gulf Coast and are in the large boat business. This app is great for scheduling service calls to advising travelers headed on long journeys. We are recommending it to all oof our customers.

The only one I’ve found to be the closest to actual conditions and the only one I use.

There’s no quicker mor accurate way to figure out what you need to know to go offshore. Thank you!

This app is a great tool for boaters or anyone living along the coast. Simply touch a location on the map and weather and tidal information is at your fingertips.

Great app - 5/5! Just wish it had the water temp but that might not be possible for super specific locations.

This is a fast and easy way to get the information you need for safe and stress free sailing. Thank you very much for this great app!

EZ to check before heading out. Before using the app, I had to go to different sites for both tides and weather.

This is an easy to use, well thought out Marine forecast application.

Provides similar forecasts to what you would hear tuning into WX on the radio - perfect.

Just downloaded, been going offshore fishing. Easy to use

As a professional mariner, I use this app multiple times a day and it’s a must have.

Would love it if the app would auto rotate on my iPad from portrait to landscape Very cumbersome to use otherwise Thank you

Wish this contain the same information as the Coastal Marine forecast by zone info provided by NOAA that is important for Boater Safety. All experienced Boater know that Wave Period can be far more important than Wave Height. Time between waves (Wave Period) will define how good or bad the offshore conditions will be. If 4 foot waves have 10 seconds between wave it will be a super enjoyable day. If 4 foot waves have 5 seconds between wave it will be an awful day. Just go to the Marine Forecast by Zone information proved by NOAA and save the money of buying this app (app is handy for quick info but us Boaters end up just going back to NOAA Marine forecast web page and finding out the wave period and height for our safety anyways.

It seems a little crude to click on a location and then have the app pick the closest tide buoy. Why not show all tide buoys and let the user select one? Also why can’t you save favorite locations? The biggest problem I have with the app is that it doesn’t seem to include all tide buoys. There are several that are missing in the area that I sail in.

Really miss the old Marine Weather app that gave NOAA zone forecasts. The graphics were better as the zone boundaries were easier to see at all zoom ranges. This app defaults to a point forecast which I don’t really use. When trying to plan a passage up the coast this app gets positively annoying.

I just bought the App because I needed to know the marine Forecast off Charleston, South Carolina. It was unable to give me any information at all on the forecast. I checked the next zone north of Charleston and the App couldn’t give me any information there either. It did not appear to be a problem with NOAA, but with the App itself. I didn’t like giving this App even one star because I see it as worthless, but the only way to rate it is to give it at least one star.

This needs some updates as the interface is very sensitive if you accidentally touch a point when you meant to move the map. Wish it had favorites. And if alerts are given it doesn’t tell you how long they are in affect for.

There was no clarification in the description that this was just the cheaper, less utilitarian version of the other NOAA apps. Spend a couple bucks more and get many more features, instead of buying a bunch of apps for a few dollars. I bought the better one and now I’ll be deleting this.

Just a lousy local chart with low definition an one far away buoy giving you basic tide information Zero wind maps with arrows as it should have even if designed by a 2 year old And you call this “ Marine “ I am a sailor and there is zero added value in this app and nothing that anyone can’t find on any weather app Be serious put a wind direction map with arrows and wind speeds

I use a handful of marine weather apps and like this one for the links to warnings and craft advisories, but the wave height reported is never accurate. From winds 5 knots to 45 knots this only ever says “waves 1 foot or less.” Definitely a problem there.

I’m disappointed. I’ve had the app for a couple of days and I repeatedly get the message that it can’t get the NOAA forecast data for the region I want. I only wanted the app for getting the marine forecast for parts of the mid-Atlantic offshore region. It has never been able to provide this.

The user interface could be better done. Alerts pop up and they don’t have any context. It’s difficult to chose an area on the map to view.
