Been using this for several years and have found it invaluable Great app Moosebone
I ve used this app for almost 3 years now and rely on it so much I feel guilty I ve never provided a review I use this mainly for boating in the Upper Chesapeake Power boating not sail boating In the upper bay both wind direction and wind speed play a role in how rough the water will be and I can use this app to show me when the tucking into a certain section of the bay or scooting into the Susquehanna River will find more protected waters at a given time Invaluable for boating Pop Jeff
Spend a little time learning the features and this app will become your first choice for passage planning You will find that you can minimize the download file size by selecting the area you are interested in the parameters you want to see and the number of days that are of interest I am a sailor this app really works for me Bob sailor
I can t imagine sailing without this program It works so intuitively I don t 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 420 s 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 don t 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 If only the Mac had a GRIB viewer this good Hotfluids
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 A GREAT app D_Snow
Quite good and easy to use Keep this app handy Sailor s Favorite Tool Capt Bloodletter
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 Good source of info Nascarrunner71
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 Bad apoka123
I use this app every day No glitches just solid performance Excellent Edkess

Great App We use it frequently aboard Two By Sea down here in the Caribbean Pocket Grib 2byC
We have used pocket grub daily for route and timing planning Only disappointment so far has been the lack of updated data for checking last minute before early morning departures Otherwise easy to use smooth animation and clear graphics So helpful so far JanakiLennie
My husband and I use Pocket Grib on both iPhone and iPad It helped us enormously just yesterday with the timing of wind changes associated with a gale force cold front enabling us to navigate to a safe harbor in time We use it all the time Easy to use don t set sail without it Captain Dot Dlmfsd
We left Florida for the Bahamas Jan 2013 for our first out of the country winter cruise The Bahama Telephone company Batelco offers spotty service around the islands Using Pocketgrib for quick weather updates when we had a signal became very important to us We found Pocketgrib to be essential S V Mardi Gras sailing with pocketgrib Barry&Linda

This is one of the key apps that I use for sailing Excellent app reliable easy to use Excellent App Mitini
As a regrettably landlocked former blue water sailor I became reliant on GRIB files and learned how to interpret them Now I tire of the conflicting forecasts from local media and the myriad of wearer apps available Seeing the data and formulating my own forecast gives me a better view into the weather window but also reminds me that everything is open for interpretation This app gives me exactly what I need to come to my own conclusions as well as provide quick guidance built in I also like using it to teach my 8 year old son about the weather and how to look at projected data and how to interpret what he sees Keep it up Landlubber former blue water sailor A Schadenfreude-1118
