NOAA Smart Buoys

My app quit working too. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it. Works fine!

The app stopped loading any buoys. The error message states it is my Internet connection while all other apps work fine. I waited for about two weeks since similar issues have occurred before for a single bouy. I have uninstallled/ installed the app 5 times over three days. Still no buoys. Other app functions seem to work.

My app quit working too. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it. Works fine!

It used to work great but in the last 2 weeks it's never loaded I use it everyday on the water and for fishing and now have to go to the NOAA website on my PC before I go out

I love the idea of this app but every time I open it and hit map view it says retrieving current Bouy locations and it never loads

Won't load buoy list. Useless... waste of time and $$.

I really like the app, but it will not load. This condition has existed now for well over a week.

Won't work

Doesn't help out anywhere but US Northeast Coast

It only has the east coast I couldn't find any information about washing coast or columbia river.

Only shows chesapeake bay buoys. Please show all noaa buoys.

Very useful

I live near all of these places so this is pretty cool.

Graphs would make this a lot more use full for sailing.

Works fine for those buoys. Any chance you can add other buoys on the east coast? It's a fine app that I would like to see more uselful.

Couldn't find BLTM2 buoy data in this app. There is any reason for this? New to sailing and looking for a good source for Baltimore inner harbor winds

Great app for east coasters... good luck finding anything for the west coast

Had high hopes for this app but it sucks...like ten locations...terrible

This app is way cool.

Just what I needed!

Good idea, bad execution. The app collects your location (not sure why it needs it), loads all the buoy list each time it opens (haven't they heard of cache?), and going to settings crashed the app. But what got me to finally uninstall it and simply bookmark the buoy of interest webpage was the battery consumption. Never seen such a drain on my device before, it had to go. Sorry Noaa; love the buoy, hate the app..

This app is tempermental and stopped loading bouy lists altogether in early November. When works it is good and I use it often.

Sweet ?

Excellent app I should have had it sooner

The improvements to the core app are very nice but I sure do miss the widgets!

I use this app all the time. The 2014 upgrades are awesome, user friendly, and give a ton of information.

Essential aid in knowing near real time what the winds around the ChesBay are doing.

As a captain on the Potomac, I use this app almost daily. Can't beat it for getting current conditions

Great app, but it does not display properly in portrait layout on a nexus 7. The preferences menu cases the app to crash on the N7 as well.

I love the newest Features. The app is better than ever. Much more useful than the web site for CBIBS! I always check the CBIBS realtime buoys before heading out on the Chesapeake. I disagree with one of the bad reviews. This app is only meant for the CBIBS buoys for the Chesapeake bay. There are only 10 CBIBS buoys. Great app.

Has been a very useful app. And now after the update it's even better. I love the map view.

Good deal

I absolutely love this app! I teach the oceanography meritbadge at Rodney Scout Reservation so we are one and in the chesapeake qute often! I also like the detailed description of each measurement and its purposr, this will really help with explaining things. But is it possible to have a measurement of tide? Even as simple as low, med, and high tide?

"cannot use /var/www/vhost *******" i regret to say after installing twice, just not working. i can set and change preferences, but... too bad because I use smart bouy data a lot to sail on Chesapeake. when will windmill point be back online?-galaxy tab 7

Nice and simple way to access the Chesapeake buoys.

I love this app, but I refuse to update it. No reason you need access to my Google account. That's shady.

Fun. Thanks for creating.

Love it

The Chesapeake Bay smart buoys provide useful info for sailors, kayakers, and SUP folks. This app puts it right on my Android smartphone.

I do not normally comment on apps, but this app deserves props. For the Chesapeake Bay, It is great for fishing conditions. I give the 5 star rating for the app and the service. I had an issue this weekend with the app not working, so I sent an email. Within a day I had a reply and buoy readings. (Android) Thank you!
