HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (14 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.

WHAT THEY ASK FOR
  • My only PocketGrib complaint is that I wish it would work with my GlobalStar 9000 Satellite Phone WiFi router, or even Iridium Go (although I don't yet have that). 5★, Feb 20, 2016
  • Of you could find a way to add a route onto the files that would help in planning a long passage. 5★, Jul 15, 2013
  • Great program, but for cruisers it needs a way to import GRIB files obtained via SSB email. 4★, Dec 9, 2012
  • Would love to see more layers available and winds aloft. 5★, Nov 16, 2012
  • Anyone with serious outdoors activities, at sea, air, or land should have this app. 5★, Jun 29, 2012
  • I would love to see this ported to Windows though. 5★, Feb 12, 2012
  • All the iPhoners boaters should have it. 5★, Aug 27, 2011

Love it

Been using it for years, love it.

★★★★★Aug 3, 2021
First app I check

This app gives so much info with a very simple display. This is the first app I check when deciding when to take the boat out. While I am on the water I make it part of my routine to check the app to see what to expect in the following hours and days. This is one of my must have apps to go sailing with.

★★★★★Jul 21, 2021
