PocketGrib App Reviews

My husband and I are sailing around the world and halfway round we discovered Pocket GRIBBs. They so user friendly and accurate. The visuals are easy to see and to understand. We now use them whenever we have wifi. They will help us get around the Cape of Good Hope safely.

I have used pocketgrib now for two years. I still copy gribs when deep sea via the HAM network and fax charts from Norfolk Virginia. However when coastal and can get 3G or internet, pocketgrib is great. Also last year was able to copy gribs on a daily basis and guide a solo transatlantic sailor around the worst of the weather by e-mailing the reports to him by HAM radio. The last part of his trip was threatened by Hurricane Albert and entering the Gulf Stream was a nightmare for him. However with pocketgrib files I was able to give him considerably more info than he could get himself on board his yacht. As a pilot I also use pocketgrib to supplement weather information from environment Canada and other sources when planning flights. The ability to pick any area of the world and get forecasts is fantastic. I sailed around the word in 1974-1979 using but a sextant and timepiece. My how the world has changed for the mariner and aviator. GPS and pocketgrib have made both pursuits safer and easier. Thank you Pocketgrib! Chris Law. Cape Breton Island, NS. Canada.

I like Pocket Grib as it displays all the information, especially winds & waves at the same time. It can be as detailed as you wish and you can scroll through the 5 (or 8) days with the same interval. It is simple to use and well worth the $8, which covers both your iPhone and iPad.

Easy to use, works great. I love it. I use it all the time when at sea or planning a crossing. Would be nice if sea state was included.

Very easy to handle. Comfortable interfacce to electronic navigation system like iNavX.

A must for every sailor! Be safe!

Best for seaman

Actually the best wind app of ipad but it could be better

Great app. for the İPhone...best weather app for Apple devices...!!!

I found it very usefull . Very clear , many options, good value for money.

Very good stuff.

Very good

I use this app more than 1 year. Application predicts the weather with high accuracy.

Very Smart program

This is, without a doubt, one of the the most useful apps available! I wouldnt start a race, cruise, or offshore passage without it!

From its initial guise this app has developed well. I use it constantly whether on land or at sea. It is a quick view into trends and indications. Graphics are clear. Regional downloads quick simple and efficient. The add on also help to give information to users. I have been very pleased with this app from the start and it continues to develop well.

This is the most beneficial app on my iPad.

This app really gives me the details I am looking for when the forecast is vague... Especially where and when the weather will be worst or best... I like the wind forecast best to pick my sailing times and direction... Fair winds and a following breeze.

I have four other wind prediction apps that i use mostly for BASE and power kiting. I never trust one but average out between all of them to make an educated guess. This app is the most accurate on average and is the easiest and most user friendly. If you get one wind app this is the only one to consider.

My go-to app for wind and weather. Worth every cent.
