I use GRIB data when going offshore between Annapolis, MD and points south, like Florida and the app is very useful for this purpose. One glitch is that sometimes, half a state size sections of the chart disappears and one cannot see the shore lines, not confidence inspiring. What if the app lost the GRIB data when you are two days offshore?

Easy to use and simple to understand, had some problems downloading grab files but these disappeared when I used the alternative method provided.
