Pros and cons of Sofar Spotter app for iPhone and iPad

Sofar Spotter app good for

Ive looked at a few tools for marine weather and this one is by far the best. Good job!!

I use it for checking the tide in California and it is very simple.

Having just bought a kayak Im always in need of knowing ocean conditions and tides. This app is it. Perfectly simple. Love it.

Perfect forecasting surprised at how accurate the water temps and how the fish jumped in my boat every time I used this app. Just amazing

A rough start but received great support from Sea Status and now have the App working fine. Highly recommended!!!

This is a simple, well written app. Use it everyday before we get on the water. Its a "Must Have".

Some bad moments

After upgrading to an iPhone 6 Plus without restoring from backup, I am unable to restore my in-app purchase. The restore purchase button in the app does not function. Otherwise I like the app and find it rather useful. I would love to see some new features like search, favorites, and better location services.

Dont care to have to find a location every time I get dumped back on the west coast. Obvious and more useful locations on Chesapeake are just MIA. Virtually nothing Great Lakes. just not ready for prime time. Now cant get past referral solicitation. Deleted.

Basically a weather app ... Spent money on this garbage ... The tide and all sea info is inaccurate, no idea where they pull the data from but I can assure you the locations that I check are wrong.

Didnt appreciate having to "share" in the paid version in order to use the app. Database was corrupt. Had to uninstall and reinstall the app to get all the locations back.

I read a couple reviews stating the apps data was inaccurate, so I decided to check for myself. I compared the data the app presented against the NOAA Buoy Data website. Wind and Air temperature were close, but data on wave action and direction wasnt close. The water temperature was dangerously incorrect - it reported 83° when NOAA buoys report 61°. I live near the ocean, so I took a look first hand. The app reported calm seas, but the actual conditions were 1-2 feet. Its a shame because it is a really attractive app, but in its current version its unusable.

This App is total BS. It is crash awesome and after purchase you still get hit with ads. Really! I have had to reset my new I phone 6 at least three times trying to get the goods promised. Love the graphics and the content but not at the cost of instability and further begging. Good Luck!
