Marine Weather Forecast Pro Reviews

I am a multi-circumnavigator who downloaded the free version of MarineWeatherForecastPro to get buoy reports. I liked it well enough to buy a year’s Pro subscription which at $4.99 is a bargain. The amount of information available is enormous and useful. MarineWeatherForecastPro itself is well designed and intuitive.

I emailed the developer to ask if it is possible to change wind speed readings from mph to knots and received a response within a few minutes. He replied that currently it is not possible, but he may add that to a future update.

Other than another app, Luck Grib, to download GRIBS, Marine Weather is now my one stop weather shop.

I go fishing in Alaska every year, and one of the most important weather conditions for us is wind speed and direction in specific areas of the ocean. Too windy and you can’t anchor up, wrong direction and you’re gonna have a miserable time getting to the spot. Used MarineWeatherForecastPro yesterday to get the forecast for a spot 70 miles away and in the open ocean, and when we got there the weather was exactly as forecasted. Wrote the developer an email requesting a small feature and got a reply within 12 hours. Just buy it, you won’t regret it.

We go fishing a lot we are only four miles from the lake. On one side but where we fish it 35 miles, only because the fish, that we target are in the bay in very great numbers. We love eating walleye and fish for walleye them. With that being said, it’s too far to take a chance just going not knowing the conditions. My side is completely different from that side. On my side the waves maybe 6’ that side 1’ or Vice-versa. I’m not just going to take a chance and go without knowing. It’s reading the buoys in the bay so it an exact wave reading. So I feel good recommending MarineWeatherForecastPro. I have others also, so I compare.

I use MarineWeatherForecastPro everyday and it has made planning for fishing/boating trips super easy. No more guessing on the weather or missing out on fishing cause the zone forecast is for too large an area. Point forecast is amazing and let’s me evaluate my specific area for travel and fishing. Used for both inshore and large lakes and impressed every time with the accuracy of weather and wind data. I don’t leave home without it!!! And a huge plus, the developer is super responsive to inquiries as well.

And it looks good so far, but I have to immediately question the ‘Terms & Conditions’ we have to agree to, or we’re told not use MarineWeatherForecastPro . Well, we just paid for MarineWeatherForecastPro , so ‘Agree to this or flush your money down the drain’ is probably not entirely legally binding. I think the shrink wrap stuff has to have a mechanism for declining that doesn’t disadvantage the user. The T&C stuff has all gotten to be a bit too much. How about everyone act in good faith and do the right thing?

That’s the only TOC I truly willfully agree to.

MarineWeatherForecastPro provides the most needed information to make the call “where to go or should i stay?” Almost all the needed macro weather info is available at your fingertips in this one little app arranged in a well engineered manner. I couple MarineWeatherForecastPro with a local weather (wind) tool and i have all the information required to get a good picture of where the surf will be good and when.

This robust, well-designed app is one of the few we rely on for up-to-date, accurate weather and sea conditions. The Pro version is worth the investment. Bonus: The developer feedback is human, timely, and knowledgeable. So far, we have had two interactions with the developer; both were positive and provided clear instructions and screen shots to answer our questions. Kudos on an app well done.

I find MarineWeatherForecastPro extremely helpful when making the decision to go offshore or not. It utilizes accurate information (you pick the buoys) and I find it a resource where you can depend on it and have a great day on the water. The developer is very responsive with his app and reliable. Don’t hesitate to buy it, and by the way I upgraded to the pro version. Very inexpensive for what you get.

This is now my go-to weather app. As an avid sailor in New England, I really appreciate all the vital marine weather and related information at your fingertips. MarineWeatherForecastPro is informative, intuitive, easy to use and provides great access to information needed to make wise decisions about safe and fun boating.
An added benefit is that the developer really seems to care about his work. He responds quickly to questions.
Highly recommended!

We purchased a boat and live on the Chesapeake Bay. I reviewed several apps and chose this one and I’m very pleased. It is easy to use and provides timely and accurate information. I am also a surfer and use Surfline Pro and MarineWeatherForecastPro provides similar data but in an easier format and for a broader area. I had one quick question about the alerts and the developer wrote me back instantly and answered my question.

UPDATE : MarineWeatherForecastPro is still solid. Plenty of info packed into a clean looking, simple to use app. I don't review apps all that often because I don't use them enough nor do I interact w the creators. Not the case here. With MarineWeatherForecastPro I have gotten responses to emails and seen MarineWeatherForecastPro change at the asking of its users. I know I can get a ton of info here and the support and growth of MarineWeatherForecastPro make it worth purchasing.

If you want to see zone forecasts for a trip up the coast it takes 4 clicks to get that. MarineWeatherForecastPro defaults to spot forecast. Wherever there’s a a marine alert it show up even if it’s not in your zone and you have to dismiss it before finally clicking the zone button. The warning comes up again and you have to dismiss it before you finally get the forecast you want. The original app was a 1 click deal. This is really annoying.

This is a great app if you are a boater or just very into weather and buoy data. The information is very thorough and accurate! And the best part is the communication with the developer. I had a problem with MarineWeatherForecastPro and he got back to me in minutes to work through the problem. You’ll never get service like that from a giant company! He was an absolute pleasure. Get MarineWeatherForecastPro! You won’t regret it

I’ve been using MarineWeatherForecastPro in the Great Lakes area for about a week and in that time this has been very accurate. The forecast conditions were exactly what I experienced when I went out on the lake. So far I am liking it very much. It seems to be a great way to determine the conditions before taking your boat out of the marina. I’m happy.

MarineWeatherForecastPro is perfect for letting me know weather forecasts on the coast . I have found all data to be reliable and the developer is on top of anything that may be off. Great communication and support! Thank you so much! If you have a boat, go diving or like the beach, MarineWeatherForecastPro is definitely for you. There is even information related to tides.

The more you explore MarineWeatherForecastPro, the more useful things you’ll find.
There is info here, that you’ll never know existed until you see it all in one place.
The pro version is well worth the modest price.
I had a question, emailed the developer, and received a thoughtful response almost immediately!

I initially rated MarineWeatherForecastPro 2 stars due to a recurring crash at app start. The developer quickly reached out and asked for some details and was able to quickly resolved the issue.

After exploring MarineWeatherForecastPro I was pleasantly surprised at how much information is readily available in a visually pleasing and intuitive user interface. I'm a novice weather geek that also does inshore fishing. Anxious to put MarineWeatherForecastPro to the test!

More importantly is the support provided by the developer. The developer is clearly passionate about his product as well they should be.

Try it it won't disappoint.

I have never reviewed an app before, but as a small business owner, I felt compelled today. MarineWeatherForecastPro is packed with real time useful information and awesome scientific explanations if your interested. MarineWeatherForecastPro support has been second to none. I have received genuine interest and a response from the developer within a day of all my questions.

I went through a lot of these apps to try and find one that gives me everything I need without having to jump between apps. This one is it! And the developer is great at answering questions. I highly recommend!!

I have used MarineWeatherForecastPro for a few years and it’s worked great and is pretty accurate. Recently I submitted and question to add satellite images and worked with the developer and got modis added. The developer was very interested in my interest and communication was great with him!!

This is a great app if you are a boater or just very into weather and buoy data. The information is very thorough and accurate! And the best part is the communication with the developer.

Downloaded MarineWeatherForecastPro hours ago. Already have a small craft advisory warning. So that's good. However, I wish I could input a specific location, and have it saved, so I know the seas, weather, and tides all at once. I need information very quickly for my job, and this takes more time than I would like to locate all of the information, as well as the load time seems pretty long.

This is definitely the best app for marine weather and conditions. None of the free apps are nearly as useful or accurate. Conditions change quickly on the water and MarineWeatherForecastPro keeps up with the changes. The Charts tab in MarineWeatherForecastPro has some great graphical info on everything from wave heights, wind info and water and air temps.

I’ve tried several marine weather apps and this one is by far my favorite. I am a boater and rely on MarineWeatherForecastPro all the time. The data is presented very clearly, easy to navigate through the different pages, and the information is just what I need. Highly recommended!

MarineWeatherForecastPro is my go to place to determine ocean and weather conditions. I’ve used other weather apps but it seems I have to go to multiple places to get the whole story.
All in one place here.
I emailed the developer and he got back to me almost instantly with an answer. Six stars.

I really like the addition of the weather buoys. It gives me a more well rounded idea of the water conditions. Is it possible to add have MarineWeatherForecastPro use my location to automatically load the buoy information for the nearest buoy to me? Also, how accurate is the data for a distance away from the buoy?

So far impressed with MarineWeatherForecastPro . Does exactly as advertised. The developer was extremely quick to respond to a feature request regarding adding millibars to the pressure readings. They seem to update MarineWeatherForecastPro regularly which is a huge plus. Definitely recommend MarineWeatherForecastPro!

I have a 45 foot sloop that we keep in Rhode Island. This is our primary determinant for where and when we go sailing .Great app in ease of use, clarity and accuracy of information. Also received extremely quick response the one time I had a question about utilization. Very pleased!

As a dockmaster/marina owner on Long Island I need a firm understanding of the weather in many aspects. MarineWeatherForecastPro provides what I need to conduct my business in a professional up to date manner at a quick glance. I would recommend it to all as a tool to provide you with a general synopsis needed to go about your day.
