Awesome at a glance to get ACCURATE data on Lake Michigan!

Crashes immediately

1222012713 on

I loaded this app on my iPhone 6s Plus running iOS 15 but it crashes immediately when launching it. It’s supposed to operate on iOS 12 or later.

One of the best apps to date

Moto 2015 on

Easy to navigate fast real time data thank you!

Useless. Just shows position of buoy. No data

Alerts

rtuck246 on

Alerts work once in awhile Most of the time not

Compass directions fail

Arizona_Moose on

At present the compass arrow pointer on both map and details page, are 180 degrees out of position. The top of a map is always north!

Bad interface

YakManDoo on

Brings up terms of service that I have to agree to before access, but won’t respond to my selection. Interface has lines overlapping making it hard to read. Does not work well on my iPhone 11

User Friendly App

Yupper56 on

easy to read interface, not cluttered with useless information

Wave height is missing

Kc99999999qwe on

Looks like it would be good but there is no wave heights. Too bad.
