WEATHERTRACK
Amazing Weather Details at your Fingertips. Worldwide.

"An incredibly comprehensive weather app - it accesses many data models from different agencies and provides worldwide coverage. 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)

WeatherTrack, the Swiss Army Knife for Weather Enthusiasts! One app - many tools

Pros and cons of WeatherTrack GRIB app for iPhone and iPad

WeatherTrack GRIB app good for

wonderful piece of software! Very useful app, easy to use, nice support quick to react: a real must. The "en route" add on makes it even better.
The software that fill a gap in the serious weather iPad app for mariners cruisers. Very nice presentation, straight and clear. Congratulations to the developer.
This is an extremely useful weather app which can be used for marine forecast purposes.
Die Grib Daten sind manchmal älter als 8 Stunden , bessere Aktualisierung gewünscht . Schönes Spielzeug . WeatherTrack is a nice tool, unfortunately the Grib files are often too old> 12 h, normally the Grib files should not be older than 6 h.
La meilleure app météo pour lamateur sérieux. Simply the best.
Great program I use it all the time as have find it very accurate so far between the Caribbean Atlantic and the Mediterranean Many thanks RPM

Some bad moments

The app crashes immediately after opening. Unistalled and reinstalled, the app still crashes when clicking the button "GRIB".
Its only for Meteorolgists I guess. No eyecandy (looks like its designed for Windows 3.11) and no Support... Wont buy again from those Devs.
Not very happy with this app. Some free apps are more accurate in the long run. Also youve to pay more for every "extra" feature. Im disappointed.
Way too hard to get started with, and it seems you have to pay over and over for forecast data
Lots of weather apps out there.. this one is very misleading, after you they get you for $9.99 they nickel and dime you for every option for only months at a time. Leaving you with hardly nothing unless you buy options to make it somewhat manageable. Save your money look elsewhere!
I use it for general forecast in the area I fly since there are not too many weather reports available. It seems the winds over land areas is not really accurate as well as wave height in coastal areas. Still I find the app useful for general planning

Usually WeatherTrack GRIB iOS app used & searched for

wave report, current weather map, and other. So, download free WeatherTrack GRIB .ipa to run this nice iOS application on iPhone and iPad.
