## Description

Real-time access to ocean water temperature and tides using NOAA buoy data. Includes Sea Surface Temperature (SST) charts, 6-hour historical wave height, 7-day hourly NOAA wave forecasts, 7-day hourly harmonic tide forecasts, a 5-day NWS marine forecast, and NOAA Weather Layer charts. You can also save your favorite buoy for quick viewing.

Important: The data shown reflect what buoys report; not all buoys collect wave data. If a buoy is missing, please contact mwnbdc@gmail.com before leaving a review. This app is available for iPad and iPhone with a single purchase.

## Review summary

Users find Ocean Water Temperature easy to use and useful for planning outings with buoy-based readings. However, coverage is spotty and locations are often not supported, data can be coarse due to nearest-buoy assumptions, and there are UI/UX issues and occasional slow performance. Some reviews note a perceived decline in quality. Overall, it’s helpful for nearby buoy locations but unreliable for comprehensive, location-specific temps.

### Pros

- Easy to use on the go with a simple interface.
- Provides ocean surface temperature data to plan outings (boating, swimming).
- Buoy-based readings with clear map markers and easy access to readings.
- Generally reliable and bug-free performance.
- Accurate SST layer that matches offshore buoys.

### Cons

- Limited geographic coverage; not all beaches or regions are supported (e.g., MA has only one buoy, home beaches often not covered).
- UI/UX and performance issues (some buoy details don’t open, map gaps, limited search, slow loading).
- Data accuracy/granularity concerns due to using the nearest buoy data across large areas.
- Perceived decline in app quality over time, with some users calling it useless.
