Description

WEATHERTRACK
Amazing Weather Details at your Fingertips. Worldwide.

"An incredibly comprehensive weather app - it accesses many data models from different agencies and provides worldwide coverage. The GRIB layers include wind, precipitation, wave height/direction/period, ocean and tidal currents, air and sea temps, relative humidity and more. WeatherTrack works offline, and GRIB files can be downloaded through an SSB connection, an Iridium AxcessPoint or as an email attachment and opened in the app." (App of the month! in Cruisingworld)

Ratings and Reviews

My guiding star, WeatherTrack

I won’t go anywhere without looking and planning our passages on WeatherTrack first. To tell you the truth, I feel it is as accurate as Chris Parker is, not to mention I can download the forecast the day we begin our passage and have it as a reference during our passage, all be it one to three days, I can see the winds, gusts, wave heights, directions of them all and current as well. It’s indispensable if you have a boat.

The Best Weather App in the App Store

I’ve been using this as my primary weather app for over 2 years. I can’t say enough positive things about it. It’s ‘just’ a grib viewer, but a good, reliable one, the represents the data quite well. Best of all, download once, use until you refresh. Thank you for creating this.

Best grib viewer by far

Don't fall for cute fonts this app is for real sailors that want all the data. Ocean currents are key and weather track has them.

PLEASE add a counter for when the next GRIB file is due. (IE 2 hours till next data)
