Review momentum (0-100) blends how fast the app collects ratings compared with other apps in its category (60%), whether that pace is speeding up (25%) and what recent raters give it (15%; recent stars well below lifetime pull it down). Ratings counts are read daily. A jump usually means a launch, a feature, ads or a new review prompt.

About The Buoy: Live Marine Weather
The Buoy shows you the swell measured at sea by real buoys, live, with the wind. Not a model's estimate: the measurement.
For everyone who heads out on the water: surfing, kiting, windsurfing, sailing, boating, fishing, diving, paddling or swimming.
Height, period, direction, energy: every reading comes from a buoy published by services like the Channel Coastal Observatory, Cefas, NOAA, Cerema (Candhis), Puertos del Estado, Rijkswaterstaat and MET Norway. Where there's no buoy, satellites from ESA, EUMETSAT, Copernicus and CNES fill the gaps.
LIVE
• Every buoy around you on one map
• Charts from 6 hours to 7 days, measurement and forecast overlaid
• Real wind at the nearest weather station
• The reading for any past day
ALWAYS AT HAND
• Alerts: know as soon as the swell changes at your buoys
• Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets
• A Live Activity to follow a buoy while the swell comes in
• Siri: "How's the sea in The Buoy?"
YOUR LOGBOOK
• Save a session with a photo or video, a note and tags
• The wind is added for you
• Find the sessions with similar conditions
• Share a reading as an image
FORECAST
• A forecast map with swell bands and isobars
• Three models to choose from: MFWAM, ECMWF WAM and GFS Wave
Feet or metres, °C or °F. In English, French and Spanish.
