1. The Lite version is limited to downloading and viewing 48 hours of forecast data using the GFS weather model to 1° resolution and 6 hour time step.
2. This GRIB viewer is perfect for sailors (both sailing and in the pub), windsurfers, storm chasers, outdoor enthusiasts, amateur and professional meteorologists. - Resolution: 0. 25° (full version), 0.
3. With PocketGrib Lite GRIB file viewer you can easily download, view and analyse global weather data.
4. By downloading only what the user needs it it possible to keep the GRIB files small which makes it especially convenient for low bandwidth regions or when roaming internationally.
5. Upgrade to the full version to get up to 8 days of forecast across the full range of weather models with the highest resolution.
6. Wind, preciptation, pressure, temperature and wave data extracted from GRIB files are displayed through our simple interface.
7. The full version also support for COAMPS, WW3, NOGAPS, RTOFS (Currents) and FNMOC WW3 (Mediterranean wave) models.
8. GRIB forecasts are published without human intervention or review.
9. Therefore some knowledge and awareness is required by the end user.
10. Most GRIB models do NOT accurately forecast hurricanes and tropical cyclones so their use should be combined with specific hurricane and tropical cyclone forecasts.
1. Very accurate and functional.I find the App useful for wind direction when planning a cycle ride (over land) the cloud/rain is a bit hit and miss, other wise it's good.An easy to use and very accurate tool for sailing, mountaineering and other weather-dependent engagements.Simple to use.
2. But data quality is best.I like using grib files in making my weather decision when setting out for passage making, sailing and flying.
3. Will unintall and subscribe to Windy instead.Simple and clear depiction of grib info map.
4. Recently on both my phone and tablet it started playing up Slow to download, map only partially showing and display pixelating on modest zoom.
5. Pocket grib is quick, accurate and easy to read.
6. Well its the light version so note the grib selection and duration is limited.
7. Does one thing well, which I wish more app designers would do!Best weather app for offshore sailing.
8. The Lat-Long info in the corner helped me out though.Very good accuracy on all regions.
9. After a year I upgraded to paid version which has higher resolution and more models.
10. A couple of times on opening I couldn't tell where the map was centered or the zoom level.
11. It gives you a good idea of what the app does.
