Wonderful app...very accurate with rain forecast. One small change, if possible, add a "delete" option to favourites so that a previous favourite may be erased from list.

It's getting better with each upgrade. It would be nice if the user can select 1 spot to load directly into when the app starts.

Accurate and easy to use, nice to have a sensible weather app I can trust. ☺ I have just paid $16.99 for the Pro version hoping that the Lastest upgrade was a profit motivated move only to discover that all that had happened was to add a useless rose implace of a perfect Sat view on first opening the app. You have unlimited 5 Star reviews why change a winning formula. PS I would like my money back so that I can use it when you Come up with better improvements it will be still yours when I'm happy with the App. Cheers

Bought the Pro version a day after installing the app. Love the customization, the tons of locations and the ability to choose your own spots. Forecast closely agrees with my NOAA GFS wind apps. This one is going to be one of my favorites.

Disappointed with app. Wasn't what I expexted, waste of money because it is not user friendly in my opinion. I see other reviewers that like it but for my cruising it only covers coastlines and we sail off shore. Guess I'll have to go with NOAA exclusively without bells and whistles.

Bought the pro version and I'd like to have the information given my location. At the moment, the locate me just gives me a list of places. Instead, it'd be better to tell me the information given my current location rather then make me pick from a list. Thank you to the developer!

Great app for people who need to know wind info. For me, I use during Search and Rescue with my K9 who uses winds to find lost & missing people.

The app has been completely inaccurate on two occasions - reading 8 knots gusting up to 10 knots when in fact 16 knots gusting 26 knots!!

The swell height is often incorrect. We had swells today well over 9 feet and the app said highest through out the day was 9 feet. I work on boats off the so Cal coast so swell height is important.

Quite detailed and informative. One big negative - the location search facility could not find, or even suggest 'Birmingham, England' - the second largest city in the United Kingdom! Suggest that it display current GPS location and item labels (the far right end of the time-line) when the application opens. A user manual or help section with clear descriptions of labels would be appreciated.
