What I really wish is that this app would let me save entire setups as favorites – every screen, every preference. I use the app for sailing, but that’s a lot different from how I would want to use it in the neighborhood or walking in the forests. A couple clicks to change entire contexts would make the subscription well worth it.
Lots of helpful information predicting trends in advancing weather systems! Only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is I can’t make heads or tales of the tide function. The reported tides are 3-5 hours off. I have to use a different app that just displays tides to get correct info. Maybe there is something off in the settings but I can’t seem to figure it out…
Works really good. Seems very accurate when sitting out in a blind or out on the water. Only knocks are with transparency views. Can be difficult to differentiate the transparency for low wind speeds. Greens and blues over land or water can be indiscernible sometimes. The animation can be tough to read in satellite view with some of the layering. A little tweaking in the view settings and all is good. Great app for hunting and boating.
Background using alpine maps. Just getting into set, drift, etc. If i were more familiar with all the functions and capabilities of the app, it might rate a 5th star. Helping on some deliveries in the 30 & 40 knot range, and on 1 then entering a bay and going upriver, the app seemed spot on as to wind speed & direction. Being able to zoom out and get a sense of what was coming up was very nice. Beyond that type of usage, you might better refer to other’s experience.
