For sailors, LuckGrib offers a best-in-class, complete solution: industry leading visualization and ease of use, highly optimized weather data downloads via satellite, along with industry leading optimized weather routing and route analysis. Inshore sailors may not require satellite downloads, but will benefit from the rest of the system.
LuckGrib is unique among apps that were originally designed for sailors, in that the weather analysis tools are powerful enough to attract attention from meteorologitsts.
For sailors, meteorologists, and all weather enthusiasts, LuckGrib offers access to a wide range of high resolutions models, a number of global models, weather data at the surface, 850mb, 500mb and 250mb levels, parameters ranging from simple things such as wind, pressure and temperature, to more advanced quantities such as simulated radar, standard deviations, precipitable water, lightning, vertical vorticity, helicity and more. LuckGrib is a thoroughly modern and advanced GRIB viewer.
LuckGrib provides access to many weather and ocean models, including global models such as GFS and ECMWF along with many high resolution models, which vary according to the region you are interested in. In the USA, there is the HRRR, NAM, NBM and many others. In Europe there is Icon-EU, Arpège, Arome, the Danish DINI and others. There are several ocean current models, such as the global RTOFS and Mercator Ocean, along with regional higher resolution models such as OFS, NCOM, CMEMS and others.
The LuckGrib weather routing system is an industry leading, high quality, robust, high performance and comprehensive system.
The LuckGrib isochronal Weather Routing solver has many unique features, such as being able to respect constraints (points that must be left to port or starboard,) deal with routes which require you to heave-to, outstanding visualization and interactivity features, and much more.
LuckGrib comes with a 14 day free trial, or free access to reduced resolution downloads (LuckGrib Lite) for users who do not require access to the most accurate data. If you are interested in studying weather and gaining access to detailed weather forecasts, download the app and give it a try.
Downloading data via satellite requires the Offshore Data in-app purchase. Access to the isochronal weather routing system requires an in-app purchase.
Note that LuckGrib does not use a subscription pricing model - after the free trial, when you decide to purchase the app, there will be a one time charge, not an ongoing subscription.

best grib file app for sailors

p-69 on

Germany

this app is clearly made by a sailor who knows what it's all about. in my eyes it's the "go to app" when you plan on sailing in areas outside of cellphone data coverage where windy & co say "good-bye". this app not only offers a wide range of grib models right in your hands (in my case a old 2018 ipad that works like a charm with this app and an iphone on the helm), but it even takes it a step further by filtering the useful gribs for the area you're currently planning to sail. no scrolling through a list of gribs from the other side of the world. priceless when sailing in moving seas with a small crew of just 2 where overall efficiency is the key to happy sailing. with all the additional great features (for example distance with calculated apperant wind regarding to a preset boatspeed) it is absolutely worth every dollar (or in my case euro). and it's a one-time affordable buy, not a subscription that quietly sums up in the background over the years. i'm more than happy that i've run across this app, it will play an essential part in our future sailing! thanks & kudos to the developer

Swiss Army knife of weather routing

Battelliere on

Germany

Great app with a ton of features, clearly developed by a seasoned sailor. Routing works great, it’s fast and has tons of options. Many weather models included, if you need something else, load the GRIB file. Gone are the days of overpriced routing software packages on clumsy tough books. LuckGrib made the iPad my first choice for racing and cruising. Craig is a friendly, active developer, who keeps LuckGrib up to date. Highly recommendable, worth the money!

Excellent

Works seamlessly on my iPad. I like the option to show weather along a route as one sails along. Plus you can store different model vintages and compare them.

Sehr gut auch für Routing

SQ36 on

Germany

Nicht nur super Wettervorhersage. Auch der Kauf der Routing Funktion hat sich gelohnt! Genau das, was ich wollte. Einfache Festlegung von Wegepunkten (Beispiel: für Rund Bornholm ist nur ein Punkt auf der Insel festzulegen, ansonsten nur Start und Ziel). Auch Ausschlusszonen (Sperrgebiete u.ä.) lassen sich einfach definieren. Praktisch auch, dass ich jederzeit, auch offline, von der aktuellen Position aus die Route aktualisieren kann. Außerdem lässt sich die Route exportieren und in eine Navigations-App wie isailor einfügen. Die Bedienung war für mich etwas gewöhnungbedürftig. Es gibt aber sehr gute Tutorials. Die App arbeitet sehr schnell. Es ist nur eine einfache Landkarte hinterlegt. Da wäre für das Routing eine Karte wie Open Seamap (oder gekaufte?) wünschenswert.

Great App, but I did not know, that you have to buy it twice, if you want to use it on IOS and MAC.

Routing

zigy46 on

Great app, the best I've seen so far. The routing (in app purchase) works really great. Once you have the polar coordinates of the ship correctly entered and your own performance of boat and crew correctly estimated, it's a great thing! I sail - almost - exactly the routes that were calculated before. Craig answers questions immediately, if he is not sailing himself ;-) You can see that an experienced sailor has programmed something really good. I can highly recommend the app. In addition, there is the offshore function as an in app purchase. This works smoothly with Iridium go, without the prior knowledge is required. OK, You have to wait for the data, but that is due to the transfer rate of Iridium! I use the app and all two in app purchases (Offshore, Routing). Rarely get so much performance for money! Zigy. Grossartige App, das Beste was ich bis jetzt gesehen habe. Das Routing (In App Kauf) funktioniert echt klasse. Wenn man erstmal die Polarkoordinaten vom Schiff richtig eingegeben hat und die eigene Performance von Boot und Crew richtig einschätzt, ist das eine super Sache! Ich fahre - fast - exakt die Routen ab, die vorher berechnet wurden. Craig antwortet auf Fragen sofort, wenn er nicht grade selber segelt! ;-) Man merkt, dass hier ein erfahrener Segler was richtig gutes programmiert hat. Ich kann die App sehr empfehlen. Darüber hinaus gibt es die Offshore Funktion als In App Kauf. Das funktioniert reibungsfrei mit Iridium go, ohne das Vorkenntnisse erforderlich sind. OK, Auf die Daten muss man dann warten, ab das liegt an der Übertragungsrate von Iridium! Ich benutze die App und alle beiden In App Käufe (Offshore, Routing). Selten für Geld soviel Leistung bekommen! Zigy.
