HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (4.5 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

Too many ads29%

7 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Why am I paying premium and still having ads
★★★★★ Ads pop up and cannot access information needed for safe navigation!
★★★★★ New version has so many ads, most buoys important to me have no data, Smith Island is no longer available.
Worse after an update21%

5 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ New version has so many ads, most buoys important to me have no data, Smith Island is no longer available.
★★★★★ Don't know if it's just not regularly updated or it is just bad.
★★★★★ There are so many adds, presented so frequently, that this app is practically unusable! The adds are so large that attempts to select other locations, one can't help but click the add that pops on screen a millisecond…
Wrong or poor results13%

3 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ All in all, this app is now pretty useless and it's going away.
★★★★★ The water temp on this app has changed once in the last week. Don't know if it's just not regularly updated or it is just bad. Thus far, has been basically worthless.
Bugs, things not working8%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ For some reason there have been zero updates for the past week. Please fix it
★★★★★ Also, geo location does not work accurately.
Missing features8%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Downloaded as a recommendation from a recent Boating magazine review. Who would've guessed that ALL the buoys in the Long Island Sound area would be out of service.
★★★★★ It's certainly my strong belief of knowing that there are more buoy's in the oceans than what is displayed in the app.The app is still missing something am trying to put my finger on it.

Useful, it helps16%

7 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ Living up here in Michigan among the Great Lakes, I find this extremely helpful as the weather is unpredictable with “lake affect”.
★★★★★ I have been using NOOA Buoys on and off since 2017… got to say that the much needed recent update came with the real time buoy cam feature which is by far the best thing this app has done! I hope you get the picture.
★★★★★ Quick easy and fast way to obtain a now cast.

★★★★★Aug 20, 2025
Need weather info

Ads pop up and cannot access information needed for safe navigation! Cannot close ads! Makes this app useless

★★★★★Aug 18, 2024
Poor App

Not worth the time to down load. No bouy markers for current conditions. Very basic . To have more info you need to purchase the premium .

★★★★★Aug 5, 2024
Marine forecast

What happened to this app? It was the best for marine forecasts. It used to provide for free 2 days of forecasts with wave heights, wind and other predictions. The premium site gave 7 days. Now there are no predictions.

★★★★★Mar 1, 2024
Buoy information usage.

I mainly use it for my hobby of amateur meteorology. Very helpful tool.
