Ratings and reviews

The plus supscription price per year is pretty expensive for the small amount of user-orientated add ons compared to the pay-one-time pro app (basically just alert function, which is unnecessary if you check every day - like most surfers do). Also I'm missing the Webcam-function of the pro app. Would be nice to have ** thanks for the Feedback, what about the missing webcam feature? could you provide coastal maps for popular wind spots, some feature to ensure safe surfing - currents, shallows,etc

As a weather app it is OK but it does not have much info about the weather like among the others, it only offers few weather layers, lack of widget(it only had 3), superforecast is not available to my region (even if I used the free trial). If you are looking for a fully fledge weather app look somewhere else.

used the free version a long time. trying to limit the info they pass on to 250 vendors and 140 ad partners is quite a hassle, you'd have to deactivate each one and when saved it won't remember next time. edit: thanks for the response/explanation
