| 2024-10-14 |  | | I'm a new user, so not fully up to speed with Offshore, but it seems unstable on Android. Crashes regularly ( Samsung S9+, Android 10, and GRIBs downloaded over a Starlink connection.) Have tried all the usual workarounds...clear cache, clear data, restart phone, reinstall app, all to no avail. Strange, because the Predictwind app seems to work OK, but of course it requires a continuous Internet connection, whereas once the Offshore app has current GRIBs it can be reviewed offline. |
| 2024-05-22 |  | | just awful. The interface on Samsung S22 completely distorted with a huge waypoints across the screen. Everything's on top of each other. Not a well designed and behaving app. |
| 2023-02-01 |  | | This is one app that works offshore for cruising boats..or powerboats. Gives good weather projections..via cell or sms device like InReach. We do not go offshore without it. It takes a bit if understanding of weather charts..but the geaogicsxrealky assist in this process. By the way..weather takes understanding and learning about ..this app is the best tool to help visual and route and passage plan. They have excellent models.. |
| 2022-10-20 |  | | The android app is really pathetic. The iPad app is fine, the computer app is fine, but across multiple devices for years the android app is buggy, freezes, quits, can't load features, etc. It's usable but barely. - pro subscriber |
| 2022-05-28 |  | | Good in general, needs a restructuring in order to make things flow a litter easier, some crashes on the PC version |
| 2022-05-04 |  | | Works great at downloading GRIBs. Simple and quick. New update requires over 400MB though so too big for me to load. |
| 2022-04-18 |  | | Generally a useful app to have when sailing outside of mobile internet coverage. A shame that we don't get the the high resolution that we get with our normal basic online subscription. I guess it doesn't fit with the business model. |
| 2022-01-17 |  | | I like the app in that the files are small and can be downloaded with intermittent cell signal as we are traveling along the Southeast US coast. The usage is not always intuitive so I practice everyday so I do not forget how to look at different areas and adjust parameters. However, this is a valuable tool and I highly recommend it. |
| 2021-09-28 |  | | Took a bit of time to figure out the app but in the end quite worth it. Been using the inshore app for a long time. Always figured that the off shore was beyond my needs but now use it to make my own predictions. |
| 2021-07-05 |  | | Can't download GRIB Forecasts..app states GRIB Forecast is more than 62 days old. it constantly stalls.. app doesn't automatically update when you run it. It's useless |
