Weather4D Routing for Android

I was happy to see that there was an update on the weather4D app so I downloaded the latest release of it... Unfortunately the app crashes either right after startup or, after 5-6 restart attempts, as soon as you click on any of the buttons (I.e. Settings). I tried it on an Mobile Air 2 with all other apps forced off (to ensure that the bug is not due to low memory). It used to be a great software some years ago (good graphics) although the navigation through the globe was not very intuitive. Hopefully there will be another update soon that will address the current "crashing" issue. 3 stars as motivation to work on a fix...

Do not buy it if you have an Android (7 plus in my case) as it is not possible to open the app

I;’ve been trying to write the developer on their website but their stupid CAPCHA system is so hard to read (3 friends tried too!) that I have to leave my support request here in the hope he will answer: ======= I bought your program and have used it since v1. Since I upgraded to IOS 8.1 I get a message now about having to pay you $33 for a HD weather forecast or else the program stops working. It[’s useless now unless I pay you an additional $33. I just need the basic weather not any HD stuff. I already paid your $30+ for the program. Can you look into this for me? Thanks, Art

I have taken multiple cruises across the Gulf of Mexico and found this app invaluable. Being able to plan out the best route days in advance given wind conditions and avoid choppy waters has come in handy on many occasions. This type of software isn't cheap for a pc - amazing what you get for the price.

I don't normally write reviews, and as an IT Consultant and avid sailor, I had to comment. This app is great once you get the handle on how to use it. First the App is excellent in getting a view of sailing conditions in my South Florida region. Not only do I get wind, etc but I also get current data which is important for any Gulf Stream crossing. I use OpenCPN on Linux, and can easily transfer the routes between the Mobile and Weather4d, that's handy when I am preparing at home or on the boat. I also use qtVlm on Linux (weather routing) and but have not compared the calculated optimum routes as yet. I would like to know if the app takes into account current as well as wind and boat Polars, but I can work that out myself. The main benefit to me is to be able to visualize the boat in a crossing over the calculated route time using the time function to pinpoint any adverse conditions in a visual way, from this perspective this app really excels. The animation is first class. I save the GRIB files from Weather4d, import them into qtVlm or other applications on my Linux laptop, and viola I have all the wind, wave and current data I need. Lastly, support from Olivier is excellent. I had a problem on saving my GRIB files in the last release, and to my surprise I got an email back within 24 hours telling me he had fixed it, and guess what, he did. Awesome! For weather routing, I can't comment at this stage, but just for the our visualization of the route it's worth the cost. Everything else is a bonus.
