Excellent, reliable app

Kuba IOM on

United Kingdom

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

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.

Great weather App for boaters

Jacksos5 on

United Kingdom

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.

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.

Clear, quick and easy

Useful app for anyone sailing anywhere

topshamtim on

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.

Fantastic

Helvellyn on

United Kingdom

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.

Indispensable

GaryAigrette on

United Kingdom

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.

Superb App

CarkusM on

United Kingdom

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.
