Review summary

Users appreciate Seaside Buoy for its accurate ocean temperature, tide, and wave data presented in a simple and clean interface ideal for swimming, boating, and fishing. The app offers useful graphs and is lightweight. However, multiple reviews note limitations such as incomplete buoy coverage outside the US, occasional data update issues, unreliable widget performance, and some interface quirks like cut-off text and lack of interactive graph features. Overall, it's a valuable app but would benefit from improved data coverage and enhanced usability features.

Pros

Provides accurate and reliable ocean temperature, tide, and wave information.
Simple, clean, and easy-to-use interface with all desired information on one screen.
Useful for multiple activities such as swimming, boating, fishing, and hurricane watching.
Offers valuable graphs for temperature history and tide information.
Lightweight app with wide coverage of buoy data, primarily in US waters.

Cons

Limited buoy coverage in some areas, especially outside the US and West Coast Florida.
Data and graphs sometimes don’t update timely or correctly due to buoy or network issues.
Interface issues including cut-off numbers and mashed data in some views.
Widget functionality is unreliable at times, showing old or no data.
Lack of features like graph interactivity (tap/traceable points), landscape mode, and additional data like moon phases.

2024-01-31	Jo*****	Especially useful for hurricane watchers. Water temps and wind info along and ahead of storm's track is great! The more buoys on app the better!! Useful for boaters and fishermen and fisherwomen with tide info also. Maybe moon phases and moonrise and moonstone data could be added! Enjoying the app so much.

2023-06-19	Br*****	Just used this app to compare with this morning's news of 4 degrees rise in sea temperatures. If this app's data is reliable then coastal temperature is EXACTLY the same as last year.

2022-06-28	Pa*****	Horrible can't see temps, all mashed together. Can't already uninstalled. The air temp, water temp and something else were all on top of each other. Couldn't expand to spread out

2022-02-18	Ot*****	Very accurate and reliable. I just wish they had more buoy locations on the west coast of Florida.

2021-11-28	ki*****	Goleta is on East Coast time. It says the sunset is at 10 and 11pm. Please do. I've had this app almost a yr and it's been wrong the whole time. First of all ENC I ain't your man. And I don't care about the other 800. I care about 3. And 1 out of the three is still wrong Even after they said they'd look into it. I pay for an app the 3 things I want right out of 800 shouldn't be a problem. Low Blow??? Really? When you pay for something don't you want it to work? FO

2021-07-20	Se*****	Good app, thanks! Will be good to know water temperature data by specific beaches (this information available freely on some websites), also, paid (let say, $2.99 will be fair enough) app instead annual subscription should work better, at least for me.

2021-06-02	*****	Great app, lots of info provided for each bouy. Good if you're checking surf conditions or checking rising water temps.

2021-03-21	ja*****	Great to be able to see actual sea temperature locally and round the world 🌎 I LOVE this app it's brilliant, so useful for sea swimming. Being a bit of a geek I love looking at the temperature graph for our local buoy. Thank you 👍
