User Reviews

Users praise NOAA Buoy and Tide Data for its authoritative NOAA data, straightforward interface, and quick buoy/tide access. However, recurrence of crashes, outdated or incomplete data (especially wave info), and GPS/location issues are common complaints. Some performance lag on older devices and infrequent updates are also noted. Overall, the app remains valued for marine data, but reliability and data completeness are the most frequently mentioned concerns.
Pros
  • Accurate, timely marine data from NOAA/NOAA (current conditions, forecasts) with tide information.
  • Fast, easy-to-read interface with quick access to nearby or favorite buoys.
  • Comprehensive data set including buoy readings, tide data, and ship reports.
  • Longstanding, trusted app widely used by mariners and considered reliable.
Cons
  • Frequent crashes/launch failures and 'Unable to Load Data' errors, including startup hangs.
  • Data can be outdated or not as timely as some alternatives; buoy data occasionally lags.
  • Wave height/interval data is often missing or inconsistent within the app.
  • Location permission and GPS issues, such as auto-retrieve prompts and 'No Location' errors.

Aloha, I really like the format of this app. But now it does not load on my iPad Pro 11” running software 15.6.1 version.

I walk my dogs next to the SF Bay, and this app will tell me the temperature and velocity of the wind off the water. My regular weather app (Weather On) is right on the money for ambient temp and wind speed, but the buoy data tells me the wind temp and speed off the water, and whether or not I'll need a jacket. Maybe a "one trick pony", but it's really good at it, and I use it every day for that. The tide data is there also, but is easier to read in Tide Graph Pro. I'd buy both, if you're by the water. Tip: Pick a few “favorite” buoys near you, and those are the only ones that will come up when you tap favorites (so you don’t have to sort through all the weather on the coast, but you can if you wish). The app responds quickly, so the delay from home; screen to favorite buoy air temp and wind speed takes about 3 or 4 seconds max. Simple, and well written. Good Job.
