will not load, says no internet connection. used to work great and I used it all the time!
Maps simply shows nothing but a blank screen!
Only 4 of 10 bouys operating... NOAA needs to fix these.
says my internet is down so no bouys. used to work fine
all bouys offline
The app stopped loading any buoys. The error message states it is my Internet connection while all other apps work fine. I waited for about two weeks since similar issues have occurred before for a single bouy. I have uninstallled/ installed the app 5 times over three days. Still no buoys. Other app functions seem to work.
My app quit working too. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it. Works fine!
As a captain on the Potomac, I use this app almost daily. Can't beat it for getting current conditions
I use this app all the time. The 2014 upgrades are awesome, user friendly, and give a ton of information.
I really like the app, but it will not load. This condition has existed now for well over a week.
The improvements to the core app are very nice but I sure do miss the widgets!
It used to work great but in the last 2 weeks it's never loaded I use it everyday on the water and for fishing and now have to go to the NOAA website on my PC before I go out
Essential aid in knowing near real time what the winds around the ChesBay are doing.
Excellent app I should have had it sooner
It only has the east coast I couldn't find any information about washing coast or columbia river.
Won't load buoy list. Useless... waste of time and $$.
Doesn't help out anywhere but US Northeast Coast
I love the newest Features. The app is better than ever. Much more useful than the web site for CBIBS! I always check the CBIBS realtime buoys before heading out on the Chesapeake. I disagree with one of the bad reviews. This app is only meant for the CBIBS buoys for the Chesapeake bay. There are only 10 CBIBS buoys. Great app.
Has been a very useful app. And now after the update it's even better. I love the map view.
I absolutely love this app! I teach the oceanography meritbadge at Rodney Scout Reservation so we are one and in the chesapeake qute often! I also like the detailed description of each measurement and its purposr, this will really help with explaining things. But is it possible to have a measurement of tide? Even as simple as low, med, and high tide?
"cannot use /var/www/vhost *******" i regret to say after installing twice, just not working. i can set and change preferences, but... too bad because I use smart bouy data a lot to sail on Chesapeake. when will windmill point be back online?-galaxy tab 7
Nice and simple way to access the Chesapeake buoys.
Love it
Fun. Thanks for creating.
I do not normally comment on apps, but this app deserves props. For the Chesapeake Bay, It is great for fishing conditions. I give the 5 star rating for the app and the service. I had an issue this weekend with the app not working, so I sent an email. Within a day I had a reply and buoy readings. (Android) Thank you!
The Chesapeake Bay smart buoys provide useful info for sailors, kayakers, and SUP folks. This app puts it right on my Android smartphone.
Neat! I always wanted to do some crabbing so all I have to do is check recent conditions in the water and air on top of what meteorologists not there or looking at the same buoy could.I like to have my conditions from wave period to salinity to wave height and much more,this gives you a set of local floating weather stations and water sensor suites as well.One is always where my morning sea breeze comes from,so now I know knowing distance and wind speed,what air is headed my way till around 3ish.
