Description
Do you want to get your weather charts without using an internet connection or a dedicated computer? HF Weather Fax lets you receive marine weather radiofascimile transmissions, using the audio from your HF marine radio. Just set it next to the radio's speaker or headphones, tune in a weather fax frequency, and watch the images come in. The app can also receive audio from Bluetooth audio devices. 

HF Weather Fax is perfect for mariners who want to be able to view the latest weather reports and forecasts. 

Received fax images can be manually or automatically saved, and viewed later. You can also export them to your computer using iTunes. 

There is also a built in copy of the NOAA/NWS Radiofacsimile schedule, and an option to download the latest copy of the schedule from the NWS website.

Visit the support page for step by step instructions showing how to use the app: http://www.blackcatsystems.com/ipad/iPad_HF_FAX_Weather_Fax_App_FAQ.html

High expectations....

I had high expectations. The reality is that it is a great idea, but does not really work in real life. Aside from other noises, after everything is quite it still bring a very poor quality, non synchronized fax view that is useless. I wish it would work as I wanted it as a backup for my HF SSB computer weather fax program. I gave it two stars with hope that sometime in the future it will be tunes and synced better

Does what it says.

This decodes HF FAX signals, hence the name. It will not do satellite images, nor does it claim to.

Works great

Just remember the schedules are in UTC time, during summer that isn’t the same as nearby London time. Had me scratching my head but not any fault of this great app.

Horribleness

This app does not load anything but white dots on a black background

It works great!

Just like other modes of downloading HF weather fax, reception is everything. This app is so uncomplicated! I had better luck using a pair of earphones lying near my iPad mic.

Fun app

This app is great for decoding NOAA faxes from coastal CG stations but also creates artistic images when attempting to decode from NOAA satellite transmissions
