Cons

Recent reviews

For years I have used this app it's been great, this year 2026 its wind&swell reports have been wrong 80% of the time for Monterey Bay CA! I use it to select which days I go fishing and they have been a waste of my time and money, getting out there and not able to fish due to the strong wind. I hope they fix this app soon or I'll have to cancel my subscription and use Windy.
