WeatherTrack GRIB App Reviews

The best app for weather enthusiasts (like me), but in the news tab, why not show not only app news, but also show weather news(severe weather, record high/low temps, heavy rain/snow,etc. And it would be awesome if you added an all new tab showing active advisories, watches, and warnings for both nationally and for your current location. Plus, it would be cool to have the option to automatically delete an older GRIB file when refreshing the existing file. Other than that, its an excellent app!

I love this app. Its great for a quick overview of a latest run. Keep it up!

This is easily my favorite weather app on the iPad.

It is easy to use, powerful features and great graphics makes it my first choice for marine weather. You wont be disappointed.

There are so many helpful layers in this weather app. It works as advertised and has all of the content weather nerds demand. Thanks for an app well done.

Awesome App. A great tool for amateur forecasting.

Fantastic, intuitive App for getting weather info! Combines the gribs with the ability to provide a point forecast in a weather graph of wind, waves, etc. Extremely easy to use with quick download times for the grib. If you have WIFI or cell service, this saves all that HF radio time and expense and AMPS! Having used the pactor modem and HF for gribs for many years, I would highly recommend this App for any cruiser!

Finally! A grib file for Apple software!

Great! Very helpful in decision to cross Gulf Stream.

Most people just want to know is it gonna rain, or how hot is it going to be ...just the extremes. If thats you and you want simplistic you dont want this. This takes longer to load ...you have to wait a few seconds for the file to download. But if you want to know what TIME its going to rain tomorrow or the next day EXACTLY WHEN its gonna get hot... WHAT TIME youre going to need your sweater.... and what TIME you can take it off and leave it off... This program will tell you. Exactly WHEN and for how long are the waves going to be at peak height? WHEN IS A CLOUD COVER GOING TO MOVE IN WHEN IS IT GOING TO BURN OFF? Im in California and all these events happen two ....sometimes three times a day. Information is power. A few minutes a day with this program and youll make Fritz look like Jackie Johnson... meteorologically speaking. Be the Connecticut Yankee in King Arthurs court. Awe the natives. Stand up and be a woman of your time. friends who are pilots and submarine commanders just about steal my phone when I show them this app. This is for real... The ultimate in technology. Seriously now I know why Fritz does standup comedy as a backup. He might need it if the natives ever catch on

This app is VERY good. I use it everyday sailing the East Coast. Highly recommend!

I have used many weather apps till I found this one. I use it for surfing and boating and its accurate. Worth the money!

Did I go wrong on this one! What am I missing?

Not worth it in my opinion.

Weathertrack is the only weather app I know that really does do offline maps (without requiring to download the area you want to see). Very detailed and accurate. High quality and very well presented grib files. Love especially the route feature when racing which really helped me to decide which was the best way to go. You have all the weather data for your route including current and tide and get a pretty clear idea what to expect on your way. App highly recommended, worth every single cent!!!

This app was recommended to me by a Cruising World editor and has since been my most used app when weather routing for sailing passages. I also bought the in app purchase routing - its very basic but gets the job done. You can vary your departure time and predicted speed to see what the GRIBs look like for a given time on your trip. It would be nice to be able to plug in different speeds for each leg, but thats not available at this time. The in app purchase for Tidetech was not useful to me as it only pulls 1 GRIB each 24 hours. I also had a bad URL error at first when I got the Tidetech plugin - Weathertrack help got back to me almost immediately and Tidetech fixed the problem within a day. Having the gribs downloaded to the phone for reference offshore is a wonderful feature. I have not exported them to be read by my charting program but plan to do so soon. All in all, this has been a great addition to my weather routing basket - Id buy both the app and the routing again.

This is a great program, but some key data are missing! First--please include the NAM model! Very important for North American users! Second, please let us choose whether to contour or fill values! As a side note, it would be nice to layer these. Third, here are additional data meteorologists would like to see: Vorticity, wind speeds (contoured), temperature, and heights at 850 mb, 700 mb, 500 mb (which you already have temp and heights for), 300 mb and 250 mb.

I have been using Weather Tracks GRIB for almost 2 years in Thailand and Malaysia on the Andaman Sea and the Strait of Malacca. I find it an excellent program and would recommend it to mariners needing needing weather information. It has saved me a number of times from getting in some very ruff weather with it’s wind forecast.

Very nice basic app. I dont use some of the fancier futures this app offers. But since I travel I like to know ahead of time not only the temperate of where Im going, but also the humidity.... Humidity makes a big difference. It has been accurate so far. Very useful. Its been a few months (and a few updates) since I got this app. Still like it

This app is the perfect tool for figuring out your passages weather. I really like how you can plot where in the grib you will be. I used it recently on a 500 mile single-handed passage right through the Caribbean and I was able to correctly predict when to reef . Awesome app. Thanks!
