User Reviews

Users broadly praise NOAA Buoy Reports as a critical, easy-to-use tool for boaters to plan trips with buoy data like water temp, sea state, and winds. They value the app's simplicity and the premium/favorites features, especially for Great Lakes coverage. However, reviewers repeatedly note data gaps and occasional temperature/reading inaccuracies, missing wave data in some areas, and a desire for GPS buoy locations and better filtering. Overall usefulness often outweighs the drawbacks, depending on location.

Pros

Essential boating/weather resource; critical for planning trips on lakes and offshore.
Provides valuable buoy data (water temperature, sea state, winds) with easy access.
Very easy to use with practical features like favorites for quick checks.
Premium upgrade offers worthwhile benefits (extensive favorites list and added data).
Strong regional coverage in the Great Lakes area (e.g., Lake Erie).

Cons

Data gaps and reliability issues: many buoys don’t report data or aren’t available consistently.
Water temperature readings are inconsistent or missing/incorrect in some buoy reports (temp not displayed or misreported).
Wave data and other reports can be unavailable in certain regions; some stations lack complete buoy reports.
Lack of GPS coordinates/numbers to locate buoys; desire for built-in buoy GPS data.
Limited filtering and customization (you can’t easily filter by wind or toggle ship data).

We use this app. often when we’re planning an offshore trip or even head to the beach. It gives us a decent snapshot of the sea temp. as well as sea state and winds. All vital information to plan a run.
