Latest reviews of Sailing Weather app for iPhone and iPad
The app is telling me that Boston will see wind between 10-13 mph today. Just saw that were seeing gusts of 50 knots.
Its just a bad user experience. On top of that some really poor weather model is being used. Avoid.
Pretty basic not much vital info for sailing. I get the same info from my local news channel app. Pretty sure some of the preference features dont work. I g
This app was great when it worked, but it stopped working recently. The icons telling you whether to go sailing or stay-at-home no longer display. I love the simplicity of the interface, but now the app has become useless.
This app is really helpful, I love that I can set my weather preferences and see how the weather is forecasted to progress hour by hour - and it is usually accurate! Finally, a cheap weather app for sailors. My only suggestion would be to also list the speed of wind in knots, not only mph. Definitely download!
