WeatherTrack GRIB Positive Reviews

My guiding star, WeatherTrackI won’t go anywhere without looking and planning our passages on WeatherTrack first. To tell you the truth, I feel it is as accurate as Chris Parker is, not to mention I can download the forecast the day we begin our passage and have it as a reference during our passage, all be it one to three days, I can see the winds, gusts, wave heights, directions of them all and current as well. It’s indispensable if you have a boat..QBOPOTVersion: 1.6.28

The Best Weather App in the App StoreI’ve been using this as my primary weather app for over 2 years. I can’t say enough positive things about it. It’s ‘just’ a grib viewer, but a good, reliable one, the represents the data quite well. Best of all, download once, use until you refresh. Thank you for creating this..Seattle RexVersion: 1.6.22

Best grib viewer by farDon't fall for cute fonts this app is for real sailors that want all the data. Ocean currents are key and weather track has them. PLEASE add a counter for when the next GRIB file is due. (IE 2 hours till next data).Jaymannyc999Version: 1.6.22

Best I’ve used so farI learned about this app while I was delivering a boat from Cape Disappointment to Cape Fear through the Panama Canal. Now I use it for all my weather needs! Love it!.TimespacecadetVersion: 1.6.22

ReliableIt’s great to be able to make a grib and get everything I need to make a safe passage.LsundshineVersion: 1.6.27

A must for passage planningThis app was recommended to me by a Cruising World editor and has since been my most used app when weather routing for sailing passages. I also bought the in app purchase routing - it's very basic but gets the job done. You can vary your departure time and predicted speed to see what the GRIBs look like for a given time on your trip. It would be nice to be able to plug in different speeds for each leg, but that's not available at this time. The in app purchase for Tidetech was not useful to me as it only pulls 1 GRIB each 24 hours. I also had a bad URL error at first when I got the Tidetech plugin - Weathertrack help got back to me almost immediately and Tidetech fixed the problem within a day. Having the gribs downloaded to the phone for reference offshore is a wonderful feature. I have not exported them to be read by my charting program but plan to do so soon. All in all, this has been a great addition to my weather routing basket - I'd buy both the app and the routing again..On Watch SailingVersion: 1.5.5

Great appGrib files are great.Dr. deathVersion: 1.6.16

A Boater's Dream!If I didn’t already own an iPhone or an iPad, I would’ve bought one just to be able to use this app. In my opinion, the GRIB viewer is excellent ... animation, meteograms, well-labeled charts, & good in-app documentation. Ok, there are some remarks that the background maps look “jagged” at high zooms, but they’re pretty darn good, especially for coastal areas. Also for some reason, renderings look good in either portrait or landscape, but not both. Given the quality of this app, it’s likely this will be addressed soon. Big deal. The power of this app is its ability to download GRIB files, display them in the most helpful manner possible, and manage the database of the files. I learned after purchasing this app that it downloads GRIB file directly from the servers (such as Saildocs) ... No more email subscriptions, laptop setups or extraneous communication hardware! All that’s needed is a wifi or cellular connection from an iThingy. Want an updated forecast the night before a passage? Or during a passage? Just press the “Download” button while in wifi or cell range. This app also obsoletes the distasteful cottage industry of GRIB file “resellers,” who ask for subscriptions or account registrations to re-package publicly-available forecasts. So long! In my opinion, the marriage of GRIB files, and iPhone or iPad, and Weathertrack have just made coastal passages safer and more enjoyable. Great work!.SuperMaramuVersion: 1.2

Absolute best overall weather appWeathertrack is simply the best! not your typical weather app interface, you have to learn to use this guy properly- but once you do, the benefits are huge. i live on a very remote island in the bahamas- it's very difficult to get accurate weather data for this location, even though several apps claim to provide it. but weathertrack always delivers the goods- let's face it, when you're talking about weather, no forecast can be correct in every detail: but this app has a great track record in terms of letting us know, within reason, what to expect weather-wise. for example, if weathertrack indicates that we're going to have high winds from the south tomorrow, we've come to know that the app can be trusted- and accordingly (since our shore faces south), we pull our boat out of the water and thereby avoid trouble and anxiety. and it's important to note that on important stuff like that, the app's always been right: it have may have indicated 30 mph winds and the actuality may be 25 mph- but so what? weathertrack let me know what was going to happen and allowed me to prepare accordingly! and, btw, the app also provides a page with links to all the major weather sites. what more could you ask? wonderful, wonderful app!.ExumaslimVersion: 1.6.5

Very Good - Needs A Little WorkThe Grib maps are beautiful. My biggest disappointment is the lack of Dew Point information in the Global-Local and gribs. The Global-local display is a little awkward but the cloud data presentation is very nice. Turning off the day night display helped. I'd like an option to make the night shading more transparent. I'd also like the option to pop up more than 10 cities at a time - at least 15 in the Global-local. The grey boxes used to display the data make it cluttered. Finding a way to display the city data with a transparent background I think would be a nice improvement..Cecil128Version: 1.4.7

Very useful for sailorsI downloaded this AP because of it's ability to download and display wind forecasts via GRIB files. It does this very well. The interface is not necessarily that intuitive initially and could be better. For example there is a small circular reload icon down in the left corner of the graphical viewer. What is that for? Well it actually is an update button and downloads the newest grib file. It then takes you back to the previous screen showing the available grib files. You'll then click on the latest which will then return you to the graphical display screen. The process although once understood is fairly simple but seems awkward and unintuitive. Other than this minor quibble and a few others I am more than happy with the program. Thank you to the developers..GrouperhoundVersion: 1.6.5

I'm giddy as a school girl, a great GRIB app finally on the iPhone.It's GREAT !!! .. . . . . . but not perfect yet. iPhone comments: (have not tried it on iPad yet) Multiple paramaters: I would like to see multiple parameters displayed simultaneously, however, the Meteogram function nearly solves that issue for me. Meteogram: Would like to be able to compress the display to get sense of the interrelation or all parameters in the total time span even at the cost of precision. Parameters: Would like to select from really available options for parameters. For example the forecast interval button take you to a screen and you select from 3,6,12, or 24 hours which is what I am familiar with from other programs. However, days and grid_spacing make you enter a number with no guide or list of real options. Awesome so far, I have been waiting for this for a long time, THANKS !!.Sail and OarVersion: 1.1

Great app!The best app for weather enthusiasts (like me), but in the news tab, why not show not only app news, but also show weather news(severe weather, record high/low temps, heavy rain/snow,etc. And it would be awesome if you added an all new tab showing active advisories, watches, and warnings for both nationally and for your current location. Plus, it would be cool to have the option to automatically delete an older GRIB file when refreshing the existing file. Other than that, it's an excellent app!.Bluekatz2012Version: 1.4.8

UpgradeLove the app, it's great and has been a big help as we've been sailing across the Pacific. My only complaint is that with the latest upgrade (which added sat imagery which is nice) you run into the "edge of the world" instead of having a continuous loop. Probably not an issue for many, but when you are getting ready to leave New Zealand for Fiji and want the weather all around, you now have to put the lat/long coordinates in by hand to get it to work. Not cool, especially since they don't get saved. Any fix on the horizon guys? Otherwise I absolutely love and recommend it..Bella2014SailingVersion: 1.6.1

ONE OF A KIND!!This is an exceptional weather app. No other GRIB viewer even comes close. An avid outdoorsman I have come to rely on the app's wealth of accurate forecast information . Whether a hiker, sailor, climber or skier, if you need fast and accurate information on today's or next week's weather conditions you need this app! Backed by a profession customer support team, which responds quickly and individually to customer needs, this app is a good value, offering an exceptional return on your investment..RespectfullyVersion: 1.4.2

Must have for cruisers w WIFI or cell coverage!Fantastic, intuitive App for getting weather info! Combines the gribs with the ability to provide a point forecast in a weather graph of wind, waves, etc. Extremely easy to use with quick download times for the grib. If you have WIFI or cell service, this saves all that HF radio time and expense and AMPS! Having used the pactor modem and HF for gribs for many years, I would highly recommend this App for any cruiser!.Kokopelli37Version: 1.4.8

Its the one Marine App I use everyday I'm on my Boat.I was hesitant about paying $20 for an App when there were a lot of free or under $5 App's out there. Now, I'm glad I did. I use it everyday I'm on our boat. I never leave the dock without checking it. If you are on a lake or just run up and down the waterway, I guess you wouldn't need it, but in my case, I mostly cruise in the Bahamas. Its great for crossings or going from Island to Island..57guyVersion: 1.4.5

YESI have been using this app on a Pad and a Phone with either wifi or cellular data for just about all my weather info while cruising coastal Pacific, south and central America and Mexico. It does what it says, does it well, and They answer their emails expeditiously. I can't think of anything more I could ask for. I've also used it on the road in the US. Would not hesitate to buy again..AquaticTwoVersion: 1.6.9

Valuable ToolI'm a sailor and have used weather tracs up and down the west coast from Alaska to California, Mexico is next. It is a great easy app to use. I am not looking forward to going back to getting essentially the same files via SSB when offshore, this is far easier. The apps weaknesses are issues that are integral to the grib files themselves: tendency to underestimate wind and wave heights, lack of detail close to shore, inland water data is generalized and does not reflect local variations..SV NoahVersion: 1.3

Good appVery nice basic app. I don't use some of the fancier futures this app offers. But since I travel I like to know ahead of time not only the temperate of where I'm going, but also the humidity.... Humidity makes a big difference. It has been accurate so far. Very useful. It's been a few months (and a few updates) since I got this app. Still like it.Mk : )Version: 1.5.9

A must have for any seafarerI use this wonderful app every time I set sail. It's ease of use to get the latest Grib files for my trips is invaluable! The reports are very accurate, the map layout is easy to navigate and the ability to use this app with a satellite service for updates weather reports while your out sailing the great blue is a huge plus..MardaganVersion: 1.6.12

Just a great programI have been using Weather Tracks GRIB for almost 2 years in Thailand and Malaysia on the Andaman Sea and the Strait of Malacca. I find it an excellent program and would recommend it to mariners needing needing weather information. It has saved me a number of times from getting in some very ruff weather with it’s wind forecast..JerryRodgersVersion: 1.5.9

Use this app all the time !I'm a sailor. This model is very accurate but nothing is perfect. Having disclosed that, I would not want to be without this app. Great format, easy access to a visual display that is quickly & easily interpreted. I usually don't spend this much on an app, but glad to own it now..Captain of the EndorfinVersion: 1.2

Weather trackThis is my "go to" weather app. We recently completed a trip from FL to MA in our boat and Weather Track was with us all the way. If there are differences between weather forecasts, we rely on Weather Track and it has not let us down..Brains on the BarbieVersion: 1.6.5

AwesomeI drive a 54 meter sailboat for a living, I love this app, I use it to show the guests what to expect on a crossing. Couple of points, do we really need to show the year and month in a weather app with a 6 day forecast, can we swap that space for the day of the week? Keep up the great work.SY AvalonVersion: 1.6.10

Excellent app for sailors and for pilots!!!Weathertrack is the only weather app I know that really does do offline maps (without requiring to download the area you want to see). Very detailed and accurate. High quality and very well presented grib files. Love especially the route feature when racing which really helped me to decide which was the best way to go. You have all the weather data for your route including current and tide and get a pretty clear idea what to expect on your way. App highly recommended, worth every single cent!!!.HekltfassinovVersion: 1.5.5

Routing is excellentWe used the routing function getting to Bermuda and it is first rate for multi-day forecasts allowing the histogram to show you weather expected along the route. Really like the ability to change wind setting to apparent as well..Captn.devinVersion: 1.6.15

IndispensableThis app is the perfect tool for figuring out your passage's weather. I really like how you can plot where in the grib you will be. I used it recently on a 500 mile single-handed passage right through the Caribbean and I was able to correctly predict when to reef . Awesome app. Thanks!.EcitoVersion: 1.6.0

Weather AppI live by this app. I do not listen to the NWS or the guy from Orlando on the SSB - not that I have anything against them, but if your the type of person who likes to look at raw data and come to your own conclusions, this is the app for you..Capt DrewVersion: 1.6.14

Great app !Weathertrack is one of my favorite apps ! The information is unique among other apps in the app store. I cannot find any other app that displays the CAPE and other info up to 3 days out. Its easy to use and every update makes the app more efficient. Thank you !.SoberjoeyVersion: 1.4.5

Great AppThe long range forecast is the most reliable I've found and the "Forecast discussion" in the mobile section provides real detailed insights into weather patterns and impacts. If you are a weather junkie, I think it's a must have!.Dutch 2306Version: 1.6.13

AwesomeI used this App all last summer while cruising Maine. It had the best weather info I could find and made the summer alot easier. I agree with another user. I am not looking forward to using Gribs from the SSB when offshore next year..DogbluetooVersion: 1.3

Great GRIB App - GFS models not updated fast enoughBest GRIB viewer I have used. However I am now noticing GFS forecast is not updating often enough. It is 11AM EDT and forecast is 0200. Should be 0800. Have been seeing this delay regularly. Please update every 6 hours when new model is issued. Time matters when going offshore up the coast. Thank you.JMcDonoVersion: 1.6.13

Weather InformationIf you need information this app offers a lot for the money. I'm a farmer and I find this app gives me the forecast faster then any other places that I look at..DJWasVersion: 1.4.5

Very good app and keeps improving.Paraglider, windsurfer, professional mariner. Have been using this app for about half a year now. Great value. Stable, fast and does everything exactly the way I would expect it to. A bit overpriced perhaps though..SeaveryfarerVersion: 1.4.4

Excellent app for weatherBack to 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 for releasing a fix for iOS 8. Having just purchased another GRIB app, I am happy to have the best one available again. Fast, easy to use, nice map views and with the ability to export video of a model makes this the top GRIB app in the App Store. Previous Review: Was a great app until iOS 8. We have waited long enough for the update. Completely unsatisfactory to have to avoid upgrade to keep functionality. Fix this now!.Mike and JoyVersion: 1.6.7

Weather router that is pricelessMost useful tool for an offshore sailor. Plan a route with Nav app that is compatible, export to WeatherTrack and get time lapse of weather along the way. Download weather updates and the accuracy is impressive..CappyJDVersion: 1.6.12

Very goodI use it for general forecast in the area I fly since there are not too many weather reports available. It seems the winds over land areas is not really accurate as well as wave height in coastal areas. Still I find the app useful for general planning.Nezen777Version: 1.4.6

WeatherTrack GRIB Negative Reviews

Total waste of moneyI bought this based on the one review available. What mistake. This does not even begin to compare to weather4d. The graphics are amateurish, they don't even go miles to the shore edge or large bays and inlets. The interface is clunky. The routing feature is a joke it has no optimization routines or use Polaris how they can call this routing is beyond me. Something seems off in their interpolation between points such that I get odd differences compared to other programs. A complete waste of money..8mobiusVersion: 1.6.7

Needs work-Animation too many clicks away. -Wave height not working properly. -I would like greater detail in the SF Bay as an example. Very little data in the bay. -Many settings, like C/F are buried under General Config on iPad. -Maps are as bad as they get in terms of detail and shoreline contour lines. -Downloaded data should cover a larger area than my request, just in case I want to move to the left or right. -User interface is just ok, could be much better. -Expensive, with improvements it might be worth it. With all that said, this app has huge potential and I would be happy to rank higher in the future. Would love to see improvements..JP B.Version: 1.2

Don’t waste your moneyThis is the worthless weather application that I ever seen. If you are an aviation enthusiast or true pilot or simply individual, please make you a favour. Don’t spend your money for that. You can find a lot more weather informations on different other well known apps, this is not user friendly at all, and what they propose is to buy more and more stuffs that again you can find for free. Please keep your money in your pocket. I will ask for a refund right now..Airframe67Version: 1.6.28
