iGrib App Reviews

Very fast access to grib information, very easy to use, this is a must have if youre serious about weather forecast when youre on a boat. Also, very good contact with the author! Way to go!

Great app for sailing and flying. Needs More wind data (More arrows) to become a 5 star app. Well done

Very well

Very easy to use

I could easily download the data for Germany. I would find it helpful to have two separate opacity levels, one for symbols (wind etc) and one for areas/planes (precipitation, temperature). Thanks for this!

much better than I hoped!

When this app works, its very useful. Unfortunately, it crashes....often.

I bought it and tried it but I found it was not useful. The iPhone screen is too small too. I found it very frustrating to use and so immediately deleted it. I decided to give it a second try but it now crashes every time I try and load data. Nice idea but I cannot recommend it

Ive had a lot of trouble getting basic software to view GRIB files. Either the software costs quite a lot, like polarview ($50), you have to subscribe to a GRIB download service (MacENC, iNAvX) or both. Given the gribs are produced freely by various weather services this seems pretty rude. For $5 here you are set. The pressure contours and precipitation views are handy also. The interface is well designed and it is very easy to click through the next weeks weather forecast. I would recommend some improvements though. For one thing you can only select one of the preset regions. I my case I am interested in the north pacific. While I can select this region and get the key info I am after, the weather further out in the pacific is not viewable- and Id like it to be for longer range forecasting. The same is true of the Atlantic, you can select coastal, but not offshore. The other minor issue is scaling. When you zoom in the resolution doesnt zoom to match and the resolution is set for more large scale systems, so up close you cannot see anything at all. This are minor issues that I assume will be fixed. Overall, for the price and excellent interface- a great product.

Frequent freezes (colour contours) and crashes (wind speed to knots from defaults). Great idea. Clean simple interface. Need to tighten the programming.

Works well on iPhone 4 and 5, also on ipad2, no issues gives me the detail I want when out in my boat.

An indispensible app for anyone who really wants the big picture (synoptic forecasts) over a number of days. Shows just about everything; and you can tap on the screen for popup window that gives the temp, wind direction/speed, etc. at that point. Has an extensive list of pre-selected areas you can download from a server. I use this app all the time. Essential for hiking and boating or anything outdoors. Or, you can just see how the big bad storms develop, change and pass through your region--just fascinating. The apps creator is very attentive to suggestions and updates.

iGrib downloads weather data for up to 10 days. It is easily the simplest of the grib file readers to use. I have used it on several 2 week cruises and love that the future forecast is often better than most marina predictions. It is also great for understanding when to take cover with pressure lines and precipitation overlays.

Love this app. It performs as advertised. I had a question regarding the app and received prompt answer to my query. A must have for weather gurus! Paul

True forcast but non smart screen

iPhone5. Cant resize gribs. Unusefull area definition. Many problems.

Good application. But what about waves?

Good program- waiting for Mac OS!!!

Очень нас выручал во время яхтинга в Греции. Выдавал оч точную инфу // Really helped us a lot while yachting in Greece. Very accurate info!

I have had it a week so far and finally I can read weather by grib. Though it still has a few glitches, they are quite minor. The author answered my mail asking about them the same day! No complaints, money well spent.
