Considering the importance of this app to marine safety I expected better. It's broken, with the same issues repeatedly mentioned in reviews going back at least three years. Attempting to select anywhere in the south island as your home results in Brett being chosen and then the only way to change it involves a clean reinstall or clearing the data from Android's settings.

The information is all there although the failing to connect to server is quite an annoying recurring problem, fixed by restarting the app. I would prefer if the home screen gave me all the useful information for my chosen base location though. The outlook (including 3 day forecast) and tides could all easily fit on a single page. I find I have to swipe and scroll every time just to get the most obvious data.

This is my preferred metservice app even though I am now land based. Using the rain radar I can again tap continuosly on the arrow to view the movement of approaching rain. This function has been restored in the March 2023 update after being stuffed up for 3 years together with the 3 day rain forecast. Connectivity problems have persisted for years but time will tell whether that issue has been fixed. Strange to notice that there appears to have been just one review since mine in 2020.
