Dang, I wish I could afford the subscription prices.

The only app I have subscribed to is weather labs 3D. If I hadn’t had this app, this would be one very high on my consideration list. The 3D app is what I seek for it’s technical display of nexrad radar.The problem isn’t the subscription price itself in this app, its the compilation of all the quality apps that ask for subscription rates that probably stop users like myself from subscribing.I do get it on the data have an ongoing cost but so do subscriptions. Does one want to rent an app and pay forever someone else or does one want to pay for an app and really have something to show for it without endless expenses. I am the app owner choice, no different than I own a home rather than pay someone else’s mortgage.This is a 5 star app, I can’t imagine what it would be with the higher information provided with the subscription prices.

Excellent weather app, and a bonus for SF Bay sailors

I really love this weather app. I’ve had it installed for over a year and keep checking it from time to time, but my primary weather app was Weather Underground. With continued updates to features and overall polish to the app, as well as tidal current overlays for San Francisco Bay. The tidal currents is a huge bonus for any sailor - at least in the SF Bay. Currents are strong, and having a real-time visualization of current vectors is a huge value add. Hopefully they will tidal current data for other areas.

🙌 love this app

So tired of those old apps... Saildrone is awesome! I am totally enjoying it. I shared a picture of this app with friends & had someone mention that they aren’t seeing the tropical storm in the Gulf on other weather apps especially not like what Saildrone shows! I am happy to be part of the beginnings of this app & sharing it with friends!! Looking forward to seeing Saildrone develop & hopefully no future charges 👏

Very informative!

I really like how I can scroll a timeline as to when rain is expected, which way the wind is coming, etc. I realize that it is still subjective, but this app has been right more times than I can remember. Not sure if I will upgrade, only because I am stingy and the free aspect of the app gives me what I need. As the weather changes, we’ll see!

It makes all other weather apps seems like pre-iPhone

This is by far the best weather app I’ve seen in years.It feels like it’s something Steve Jobs would get on stage with and present as a breakthrough.I love the UI, the ability to see to the Min when rain is about to hit, the winds if sailing is your thing.Comments: there is no need to such dense number of city and neighborhoods names on the map as you zoom in, most people care about where they are at.Add a feature to geofence an area and get notifications for that specific area.Rain animation as you zoom into neighborhood should improve.Overall, Well done Saildrone team on delivering an amazing weather app!

Interesting and pretty accurate

Saildrone Forecast is an interesting endeavor using autonomous marine vehicles to collect weather data. This allows them data that others don’t have, making weather forecasts pretty accurate, especially on the coast. The UI is nice and has a richness that makes it nice and easy to use. So why not 5 stars? Mainly two items. The first is that every time I open the app it shows winds, and I cannot seem to change that. I would like either a default setting, or that it remembered what layer o had active last. The second is that when you click the “Help & FAQ” link in the app, it takes you to a Zendesk page that says the following “Oops, this help center no longer existsThe company you're looking for is no longer using our help center. We suggest reaching out to them directly via their official website.”To me that is very lacking in care of customers. Especially for a paying customer.

High hopes

I am pulling for this app, seriously! It has great information on very specific locations, the design is particularly beautiful for a weather app, it is easy to use, easy to search/favorite locations, and the features look to be very promising if they mature (I hope you add the surf feature!). I see the potential and this app could really be amazing. My one critique/skepticism is on temperature accuracy. Upon first use in LA, it seemed to me like the temperatures reported at all locations were too cold. When comparing to other resources, Saildrones was always the coldest by anywhere from 1-10 degrees. I have a hard time believing everyone else is that far off. I spent the day outside with most other apps reporting around 68 degrees while Saildrones reported 64, and 37 years of life experience tells me that 68 was more accurate. Looking out in the forecast, the coldness trend continues for all 7 days compared to other forecasts. I’ll be using this app, hoping that my skepticism will disappear and that the temperatures will prove to be spot on. Good luck and keep up the good work!

Incredibly useful but frustratingly buggy

I use this app every day for swimming around the coastline of San Francisco and in the SF Bay. Super useful for figuring out the back eddies and timing/velocity of tides. Also seems like the most accurate app for weather predictions (could cover, precip, air temps) on an hourly basis at all my frequent swim locations. Biggest issue is that it crashes when switching between favorited locations, and sometimes the tidal current data is broken/won’t show up for days or a week. Sometimes quitting the app and restarting it works, but often it will be broken for much longer. I rely on Saildrone when I plan long swims- routes and times. It’s almost a safety hazard when it breaks. Also wish it listed times for high and low tides, max flood, max ebb, slack, and wave height, period, and direction based on SF Bar NOAA bouy.

Best sailing app

I love full time on a sailboat. Trust me,this app is so accurate. No other apps can match the current and oceanic weather predictions. So far it’s been spot on and we have other apps that give 5-6 models all different with having to try to be ready for everything. This is my go-to app for sailing. Their Gulf Stream real-time is fantastic. A must have for sailors or anyone on the water. SV Kalon II
