-- 10-20-30, 2018-12-04

### ***** "The best"
As a Yacht Captain I rely on this app to get all the weather forecasting I need to predict the possibility of safe passages.
-- ablus, 2018-11-16

### ***** "Great weather tool"
I use this app all the time! Thanks for making it!
-- alanmizzen, 2018-10-07

### ***** "Great app"
Easy to use, works great.  I love it.  I use it all the time when at sea or planning a crossing.  Would be nice if sea state was included.
-- Phredder, 2016-09-12

### ***** "Maybe the best GRIB file viewer yet."
I like Pocket Grib as it displays all the information, especially winds & waves at the same time. It can be as detailed as you wish and you can scroll through the 5 (or 8) days with the same interval. It is simple to use and well worth the $8, which covers both your iPhone and iPad.
-- Chantey V, 2016-03-28

### ***** "Weather for the mariner."
I have used 'pocketgrib' now for two years. I still copy gribs when deep sea via the HAM network and fax charts from Norfolk Virginia.  However when coastal and can get 3G or internet, 'pocketgrib' is great. Also last year was able to copy gribs on a daily basis and guide a solo transatlantic sailor around the worst of the weather by e-mailing the reports to him by HAM radio. The last part of his trip was threatened by Hurricane Albert and entering the Gulf Stream was a nightmare for him. However with 'pocketgrib' files I was able to give him considerably more info than he could get himself on board his yacht. 
As a pilot I also use 'pocketgrib' to supplement weather information from environment Canada and other sources when planning flights. The ability to pick any area of the world and get forecasts is fantastic.
I sailed around the word in 1974-1979 using but a sextant and timepiece. My how the world has changed for the mariner and aviator. GPS and 'pocketgrib' have made both pursuits safer and easier.

Thank you Pocketgrib!

### ***** "Excellent App for sailors"
My husband and I are sailing around the world and halfway round we discovered Pocket GRIBBs.  They so user friendly and accurate.  The visuals are easy to see and to understand.  We now use them whenever we have wifi.  They will help us get around the Cape of Good Hope safely.
