“Yachting Weather” is the cost-free and user friendly weather App for iPod Touch, iPhone and iPad to receive precise sea weather predictions for the next 3 days (2 days on iPad) - or with an upgrade to “Yachting Weather EXPERIENCE”- for the next five days. You receive all marine weather predictions according to your current GEO location or any other sea area worldwide determined by GPS, a single click on the map tool or by manual input. Whether you are sailing, motor yachting or doing other water sport activities, you can configure “Yachting Weather” exactly to your needs with numerous options. The forecasts for the next three days come in six hour intervals (for five days in three hour intervals with “Yachting Weather EXPERIENCE”) and are available worldwide. Due to the high spatial resolution of 0,15° to 0,25° (which is comparable to approx 12x12 sea miles). Conventional GFS weather models work with a resolution of 0,5° to 1° and assume equal weather conditions for a sea area of 60 x 60 nautical miles. On open sea or nearby the coastline a high resolution forecast for wind and waves can be advantageous. Changing winds, gusts or rough sea within short distances could be missed by large scale forecast models. Besides a higher spatial resolution WEATHER365 weather models integrate topographical, geographical and vegetal characteristics - especially of the coastal areas - which have influence on weather trends and weather evolution. Even bathymetry data are included because of their impact on wave height and length. You receive exact predictions for your designated position. All weather data are based on optimized WRF and Wave Watch III weather models and calculated and updated four times a day by WEATHER365. (wave data is only available for overseas territories, inland waters are not covered) With an Upgrade to “Yachting Weather EXPERIENCE” you get the predictions of the professionals: Predictions for the next 5 days in a three hour rhythm - permanent and worldwide. Available forecast data: • Storm risk • Wind speed • Wind direction • Gusts • Wave heights • Wave directions • Wave frequency • Air Pressure • Common weather condition • Temperature • Air humidity • Precipitation risk • Amount of precipitation Additional Features: • iCloud sync of all your locations • Forecast Graph and Wind Radar • Compact Forecast • Today Widget • Apple Watch App + Complications • Support for iPad Splitview • Optimized for VoiceOver You always can decide whether you want to configure your GEO position by • GPS GEO tracking • Fingertipping on the map tool • Or manual input Individual configuration of your adjustments for: Speeds, distances, air pressure, amount of precipitation and temperature
Weather info excellent but...
I have had numerous problems with the app "loosing" my paid subscription and bumping me back to free version. Then its a big ordeal to uninstall and reinstall blah blah blah. Needs more elegant back end to be reliable.
United StatesNONSENSICAL UI & SETINGS
DEVELOPERS: Please READ, and DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS APP! No professional weather forecast defaults wind direction as the direction the wind is blowing “to”. NONE. Wind direction is ALWAYS stated as “out of”. ALWAYS. No exceptions. Well, except this app. And, that is not “inverted” - your default is what is inverted! Also, who states precipitation as “mm/in”, or “L/m2”? How about a straight depth in inches, mm or meters? Why would someone endeavor to write an app about a subject of which they seem to have so little apparent knowledge (either weather or sailing)? Have you ever heard of distances being stated in terms of “Metrical/Imperial”? Me neither! How do I get nautical vs. statute miles? And, what does “mp/h” even mean for speed? MAKE KNOTS AT OPTION FOR ALL SPEED SETTINGS! It should even be the DEFAULT! Sailors don’t use miles per hour or meters met hour - THEY USE KNOTS! There are undefined symbols for waves, with numbers that are frightening. What does “7s 9m” represent? It isn’t listed in the key. Makes me not trust any app from ESIRION.
United StatesGreat app for yachtsmen
Used it for the past 2 weeks and found it accurate and very useful. Would love to see an auto location function
United StatesInsufficient help info
I supposed the forecast is only as good as the data received from the weather services, but as I write, seas are running 90 degrees from what the forecast shows, and ha for most of the day. The descriptions of the forecast icons are too vague. “Wave heights” - is that peaks, averages, or what? A single number for wave heights is minimally helpful. What about swells? I find the app minimally helpful, mostly because it isn’t even remotely accurate!
United StatesData
Data is great.... but does not update. Checked the app yesterday 6/17 and again today 6/18. Date of update shows 6/12. Plus will not download a forecast at all. I did check and the app does have access to my location when in use
United StatesA Brilliant Display
The data display is easy to use and data rich. Forecast area pin pointing is very useful. The only suggestion is to expand explanation of some of the data details; e.g., percentages shown. I like the app much better than the old version.
United StatesWas a great app before the upgrade
I used to love this app and used it a lot before they completely overhauled the interface. I suppose all the data is still there, but it's very hard to find what you want and the color scheme is hard on the eyes. Don't even attempt to use on your boat at night, you won't be able to see anything for another 10 minutes.
