## PocketGrib Description
With PocketGrib you can download, view and analyse global weather data while on the go.

Wind, precipitation, pressure, temperature, wave and other data extracted from GRIB files are displayed through our powerful GRIB viewer interface.

Perfect for sailors (both sailing and in the pub), windsurfers, storm chasers, outdoor enthusiasts, amateur and professional meteorologists.

Features
- Choose your map location and have weather information overlaid
- Animation of weather maps
- Weather can be viewed as a meteogram (graph) or raw data
- Configurable download to minimise file sizes (great for roaming)
- GRIB files can be downloaded to your PC via iTunes
- Displays online and offline
- Support for 3rd party GRIB files

PocketGrib downloads and displays the following weather types:
- Wind speed and direction (10 m above ground/sea)
- Precipitation (rain, snow etc)
- Pressure
- Air temperature
- Waves (including Mediterranean and Black Sea)
- Cloud cover
- Relative humidity
- CAPE (Convective Atmospheric Potential Energy)
- Current (Atlantic only)
- 500mb Height

Direct download of GRIB data from NOAA's GFS (Global Forecast System) model
- Forecasts up to 8 days
- Data steps: 3hr, 6hr, 12hr
- Worldwide coverage
- Resolution: 0.25°, 0.5°, 1°, 2°
- Data updated 4 times a day (every 6 hours)
Also support for COAMPS (0.2° resolution), WW3, NOGAPS, RTOFS (Currents) and FNMOC WW3 (Mediterranean wave) models.

GRIB forecasts are published without human intervention or review. As such, the end user requires some knowledge and awareness. Most GRIB models do NOT accurately forecast hurricanes and tropical cyclones so their use should be combined with specific hurricane and tropical cyclone forecasts.

## PocketGrib Reviews in United Kingdom

### ***** "Excellent, reliable app"
I have been using pocket grib for many years now. Love it for its reliability and accuracy, both in weather and rain prediction 

Pressure comes as a bonus too 

Brgds
Kuba
-- Kuba IOM, 2019-09-02

### **--- "Used to be excellent but...."
Now the updates to the forecast are slow to arrive, often 6 or more hours behind, which means as a sailor waiting for the forecast before setting off on a passage you are always looking at older data than from other free apps which offer better graphics and more weather models to compare with.
No point in buying this app when better free ones are out there.
-- Shrimperman, 2019-07-21

### ***** "Great weather App for boaters"
Great weather app for boaters and doesn’t use huge chunks of data. Very data efficient (although there are other apps out there which are specifically designed to use even less data if you are intending to use Iridium satellite phone). Highly recommend this app for Cell and WiFi use.
-- Jacksos5, 2019-05-13

### ***** "Pocket Grib"
We have been using this app for many years now in many different parts of the world during a circumnavigation.  Generally it is accurate for a 5 day forecast, with the normal caveats when land can effect wind direction and strength.
-- Bob and Elaine, 2019-04-25

### ***** "Clear, quick and easy"
Useful app for anyone sailing anywhere
-- SailorMike555, 2018-12-01

### ***** "Excellent Weather Forcasting App"
The best Weather Forecasting App I have use. Works particularly well in poor mobile signal area
-- Wisdish, 2018-10-07

### ***** "Easy to use and accurate"
I’ve been using this App for several years. I find it easy to use, it’s intuitive design makes it so, it’s about 90% accurate.
-- topshamtim, 2018-10-05

### ***** "Fantastic"
Great app!! I’ve used it almost daily for the last few years and it’s been brilliant. If you want an easy way to download and view grub files, this is it.
-- Helvellyn, 2018-10-03

### ***** "Indispensable"
Indispensable weather app. The local variations can be seen on the map view which is a great aid for interpreting the official sea area forecasts, and the graphical view identifies ‘when’ something will happen in your locality.
-- GaryAigrette, 2018-09-26

### ***** "Superb App"
Really very easy to use. Stores grab files so you can refer back when offline offshore. I have used for years and will continue to do so.
-- CarkusM, 2018-05-02

### ***** "The best"
This is by far the best Grip app. 
It's ease of use.
It's clarity.
It's presentation. 
Downloads fast when at sea.  
So many features, you have control over everything.
-- jjboat, 2018-01-25

### ***** "Great app"
Simple, clear and efficiently laid out.
Pretty accurate data.
This app is a keeper.
-- Kerwood, 2016-04-07

### ***** "Top app"
I use this app every day and have found it invaluable as an offshore sailors and a professional marine pilot. Worth every penny
-- Auldwan, 2016-01-08

### ***** "Excellent App"
Use it all the time when planning & sailing North Sea and Biscay.
Useful for seeing what's coming in the days ahead not only locally but also the bigger picture. As with any forecasting method I compare results with others, if they all agree yippee!
-- Captain Chaos Lowestoft, 2015-10-18

### *---- "No longer working!"
I used to love this app, but it can no longer download grib data. The app support website is also no longer accessible, so it looks like the developer has either let things slip, or has abandoned the app! :(  It's a shame really, as this was a 5-star app when it was working.
-- JohnL1968, 2015-06-19

### ****- "Easy to use"
Very easy to use, minimal download size each time, great display & options, only possible issue is accuracy of rain forecast time/intensity but apart from radar what is accurate??
-- TFabes, 2015-06-03

### ****- "Grib"
Very good easy to use would like wave heights in Irish sea
-- Ikecars, 2015-05-27

### ***** "Ideal"
I have many weather apps but this is the one I use every day an have done so for several years.
-- Terror Firma, 2015-05-23

### *---- "What's gone wrong?"
Seems to be broken after last update- map display corrupted in  many downloads.
-- evenmorestressed, 2015-03-24

### ***** "Excellent"
Great app... Secret is let it fully load then study the weather. I love the way it automatically loads the GRIB file around your current gps location.
-- dtc7777, 2014-10-13
