  1. 4/5Pretty good

    I like the app, I choose to use it mostly to figure out the sea state and swells. The only thing is a lot of the time the swells are not included in the data that is given. I understand that this is not the apps fault that it is what info the buoy is giving but I figure everyone

  2. 1/5Turned to crap over the winter.

    Last summer, I was able to see all of the weather buoys on the great lakes. Finding the relevant ones was a bit of a bother, but once selected ad favorites, it was great. Now, the GLERL buoys are a premium purchase and the app seems to select the buoys that I have checked recently as my favorites (I may check buoys in Florida to see what a hurricane is doing, but most of the time I really don’t care about it). All in all, this app is now pretty useless and it’s going away.

  3. 5/5Live views!

    I use this app often to evaluate conditions for offshore fishing and the live view from select buoys is fantastic. I continue to use other sources for detailed sea conditions and forecasts, but a picture is worth a thousand words! (Premium subscription user)

  4. 5/5So useful

    I have been using NOOA Buoys on and off since 2017… got to say that the much needed recent update came with the real time buoy cam feature which is by far the best thing this app has done! I hope you get the picture.

  5. 4/5Nice app

    Would be better if more data was presented. However I am not sure if it is the buoy that is at fault or the app. Refresh period should be every 10 minutes but frequently isn’t. Again not sure who is at fault.
