I don’t have to go topside and turn on weather channel or fire up PC or TV… I just open this app and my nearshore weather and forecast is there and in a very pleasing format. I love it!

This is the best marine weather app out there as far as I’m concerned. It’s clear, simple and gives all the pertinent information that you need to get out on the water!
