## Description

The first and still the best, NOAA Buoy and Tide Data allows you to retrieve weather data from NOAA's National Data Buoy Center. It also provides tide predictions for the US and Moon phase information.  

The perfect tool to help plan your time on the water.

**For a map of buoys locations, go here: http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/

* NEW - Home page lets you keep your most commonly used data in one place.
* Search for buoys by name.
* View buoys near you with customizable search radius.
* Use GPS or manually entered location. 
* Map of buoy locations.
* Detailed live buoy data with access to location specific forecasts.
* Save your favorites for easy access.
* Quick access to buoy's website from within the application.
* Buoys sorted by proximity to your selected location.
* Tide Predictions.
* Moon phases.

Data can include wind speed, gusts, and direction as well as pressure and other relevant marine data.  This data is dependent on the buoy since not all buoys have the same sensors.

If you participate in activities where marine weather is important, you need this app.

Great for:

boating
sailing
diving
fishing
kite boarding
and any activity where marine weather conditions are important.

If you fish at sea like we do, this is a great app for you.

Another quality App brought to you by boaters and fisherman.  We use our products everyday and listen to our customers.  If you have any issues, please contact us.  We will reply.

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 However, recurrence of crashes, outdated or incomplete data (especially wave info), and GPS/location issues are common complaints.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

- 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- Data can be outdated or not as timely as some alternatives; buoy data occasionally lags.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.
