Still not working. Waiting for that promised update, hoping it will still be released.
I have used WaveWatch for android for several years and it has worked well until recently. It now longer communicates with any of my buoys. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but without success. I see that I am not alone with this problem.
great app, I subscribe to sail flow, predict wind and windfinder this is almost as good as windfinder. I'll be cancelling all but wave watch and windfinder.
Used this app all the time now all stations do not report. Please fix this I did pay to remove ads. This app seems to be the most accurate I've used yet. From a professional mariner who spends half his life on the ocean.
DOES NOT WORK! Cannot locate ANY buoy information
Around the British Isles...
Works ok wish it had the direction like south west instead of the degrees of a compass or both
Doesnt read buoys anymore...useless
Doesn't read stations anymore...useless.
Many of the Pacific buoys give the data for swell height, which is a different number than significant wave height, but is very important for determining surf conditions. Your app will not be as good as the noaa website until you start collecting and transmitting this information. Thank you
I love this app.. but I can't get station 45005 - West Erie to report data or show up as a Fav.. on my MotoX (5.1) It was working, but then WaveWatch started crashing all the time until I removed and reinstalled.. had to add all my favs back and they all work fine.. (once I removed this one) Oddly, the station reports fine on my other Android Device and shows active online.. (so, i don't understand) -j Update: I have a second Android Device that was working perfectly which included 45005 - until I put YOUR latest update on it last night.. it's crashing now too until I remove 45005 from my list of Fav's... Please FIX this asap, as 45005 is a critical station in Lake Erie.. we count on it often.. Is there a way to roll back the most recent update of Wave Watch? Thanks.. -j
Great app, got even better with newest upgdate now i don't have to refresh to get the latest report. It cant get much better. Now how about a pay for ad free version.
Clean, clear, and easy to use. And works!
Using it to look at tropical atmos changes. Would be good if the bouy data would show what direction the pressure change is (+-).
Best
Very good and very helpful
Update does not wrprk on nexus 7. Tap map and app stops. Sux csuse i use it all the time. Or did anyway.
Never would load...just kept searching. Useless. Really wish some body would make a good one of these.
Great app. Using for kayaking trip. Looking forward to paid version to remove ad.
This is the greatest wave app in history.
Why is it called wave watch and it doesn't give the wave heights?
Reminds me of guarding in Myrtle Beach checking in on the wave and wind report just waiting for the next epic session. 422
Seems to work good but doesn't show all the boys I want to see in my area. Faster to bookmark the nova Web page... for me.
Had it on my phone and it wasnt working. So I uninstalled it 3 times and it still won't bring anything up!
