PocketGrib App Reviews

Great App. We use it frequently aboard Two By Sea down here in the Caribbean.

This app is exactly what weve been looking for. You can download directly from NOAA so no cumbersome downloading to email and then saving and opening. Weve been looking for a weather app with the surface isobar prog charts and this app has it. Its easy to use and highly intuitive. Easily accessible onscreen buttons for every bit of info you want. Fast downloads even over slow WiFi. Worth every penny of the $5.99

My wife and I are currently sailing our boat on the Pacific Coast of Mexico and Central America. Whenever we have Wi-Fi available we download the gribs for the area we are in and use them to compare to some of the forecasts we get from other sources. Helps us plan our voyages. This is a great app and needs to be in your quiver of weather apps!

At last! An App for Kiteboarders that allows accurate advanced planning for those perfect riding days. Thank You! Perfect in execution and simplicity. 5-stars! I have already paid for the App in saved fuel.

I use this app mainly for wind prediction (I am a sailer) and have found it be accurate and very easy to use.

This is an easy to use app that provides detailed, accurate information. Were currently sailing Fiji, and Pocket Grib is a valuable tool.

Couldnt be more pleased with this app. I needed grib weather files in the Bahamas and this app (along with BTC cell phone data cards) did the trick. Usually I find small annoyances in most app I buy but this app seems to have thought of every thing.

I am looking at it now and it shows 5-10 at the south tower of the Golden Gate Bridge. Its blowing 25-30 and has been all after noon.

I have been using the app off and on for about 4 months for planning and during cruises and deliveries. I am pleased with the ease of use and have not found significant discrepancies in the forecasting ( which I do find in NOAA forecasts and other sources ). I give 4 stars because there is always room for improvement. Captain George Master NC ASA and RPBA Instructor

we use Pocket GRIB for immediate, short & long term conditions of regattas (sailing races), navigation, hurricane information, wave height, wind speeds & also for general all around weather information. we also use PocketGrib as an indispensable tool when coaching & teaching sailors - 5 stars! side note: even though this app might look like it is not for everybody, PocketGrib makes it easy to use. it uses your requested meteorologic data via gridded binaries (GRIB) & displays this data in various forms, wind speed, wave height, rain, temperature...via maps, charts... take the time to play around with Pocket GRIB, learn it & youll never go back to wimpy general use weather apps. :)

The most user friendly way to view grib files. Extremely usefull for passage making.

I say again "Im a meteorologist due to PocketGrib"

Im not sure what has happened to this app, but grib files are no longer available for download using the map. An error message indicates that the server is no longer available. The email address is not current. All attempts to contact the app owner have been aborted. NOT A DEPENDABLE APP!!!

The app crashes each time I try to download new products. Please update! I didnt pay $5 to have an app that doesnt work.

I use this app every day. No glitches; just solid performance.

Ther is no wave info for US areas. I got this for $6 for the wave data... Would lile to get a refund. ... And the app also crashes...bad bad bad

I had a little trouble learning the app, but now it is a great source of weather info. We live on our sailboat and use this app daily to decide where to anchor next, or if we need to move. Only upgrade I can recommend is compressing data for Iridium use.

Quite good and easy to use. Keep this app handy.

This does a wonderful job of displaying the weather forecast hour by hour. While it is designed for sailors with low bandwidth high cost communications it also works those of of with cheap hi bandwidth networks on land.

I cant imagine sailing without this program. It works so intuitively I dont even think about using it, I just do & get to concentrate on the weather, not the program. GRIBs are amazing and this program allows me to be able to harness their power! Update 20 Feb 16 - We have been using PocketGrib as live aboard cruisers for almost 2 years now. My wife now has it on her iPhone, & I have it on my iPads & iPhone. We use it nearly every day, and can not imagine Cruising from Boston Harbor to Great Exuma Island without it! Our Lagoon 420s mast is over 65, so we can not use the ICW & must go offshore, where we sail for up to 7 days without sight of land. My only PocketGrib complaint is that I wish it would work with my GlobalStar 9000 Satellite Phone WiFi router, or even Iridium Go (although I dont yet have that). Then we could get the latest GRIBs into our PocketGrib when we are over 20 nm offshore & out of cell phone range. Since we are usually well beyond 20 nm offshore for most of our offshore cruise, getting the latest GRIBs into our PocketGrib would be very valuable to us as GRIBs become less accurate with age.
