The GRIB layers include wind, precipitation, wave height/direction/period, ocean and tidal currents, air and sea temps, relative humidity and more. WeatherTrack works offline, and GRIB files can be downloaded through an SSB connection, an Iridium AxcessPoint or as an email attachment and opened in the app." (App of the month! in Cruisingworld)

Weather track

Have been getting an “error 401” for several months now

Great weather forecast at low cost. Recommended.

WeatherTrack is a great app to select and display the weather gribs and make your own informed decision for planning, whether it be farming, sailing or a party next week. TV, Internet etc tend to only go 3 to 4 days ahead, but weathertrack can give you an accurate 7 day forecast, and a "rough" 14 day forecast, but be aware computer models can change, and are constantly updated. Wind, rain, cloud cover are all displayed in an easy to visualise format, and the meteogram is excellent to see all parameters simultaneously. See low pressure systems coming b4 weather beaureau start talking about them. For sailors, subscribe to grib robot to get email gribs, and tide-tech integration is great. Customer support from the Weathertrack team is excellent, immediate response to any problems you may have. Definitely recommended.

Too hard to use.

I've been using this for a month now. I find it too difficult to use and continually reloading the app to make it work. Customer support is excellent... But .! I want the app to work but have given up on it in frustration after probably 50hours of screen time . I suggest trying a different app.

Not worth the money

Clunky. Not intuitive. I found another Grib app which was better and cheaper. Wish I could get a refund on this!

SY

Fantastic application! It was made by people who really know what is needed in terms of marine weather forecasting and route planning. Best grib file handler I have ever used. Works fine on older iPad 1 systems. Thanks for this great program.

loving it !

I work as a concretor, and I rely on good local weather forecast for a specic location, for specific times of the day in order to avoid loosig a job due to weather conditions. Weather Track is able to give me this kind of informationin aligning, and often surpassing my local knowledge and ability to see what's really going on. I totally recomend this app to anyone who relies on weather.

SailDocs

Works great for reading GRIB I've received via email from saildocs via sat phone. This frees me from the nav station laptop!

Decent program held back by poor model

The GFS model is pretty poor, I use the program to predict cloud cover for astronomy. The GFS model rarely correctly predicts cloud cover for the UK. It's sunny now with a few clouds, the model is predicting 90% cloud cover!

Outstanding App

As a the Captain of a 18,000 tonne ship that works in various areas of Australia I have found the app to be versatile enough to give me a good feel for expected conditions in my planned operating areas. While there are some holes in coverage for some aspects such as combined wave height, I have enough coverage of winds to allow me to interpolate the gaps. It does need mobile coverage to allow the functions to work, so I would not find it useful on an overseas transit.

Great App

Very informative & easy to use if sometimes a little clunky. Worldwide & highly rated! Excellent app!
