Stopped loading buoys The app stopped loading any buoys. The error message states it is my Internet connection while all other apps work fine. I waited for about two weeks since similar issues have occurred before for a single bouy. I have uninstallled/ installed the app 5 times over three days. Still no buoys. Other app functions seem to work.

Tyler It used to work great but in the last 2 weeks it's never loaded I use it everyday on the water and for fishing and now have to go to the NOAA website on my PC before I go out
Daniel Parilla
Great app, but it does not display properly in portrait layout on a nexus 7. The preferences menu cases the app to crash on the N7 as well.

Great app As a captain on the Potomac, I use this app almost daily. Can't beat it for getting current conditions
Kevin Boben
Doesn't load I love the idea of this app but every time I open it and hit map view it says retrieving current Bouy locations and it never loads

Widgets Gone The improvements to the core app are very nice but I sure do miss the widgets!
Really Essential aid in knowing near real time what the winds around the ChesBay are doing.
It only has the east coast I couldn't find any information about washing coast or columbia river.
I really like the app, but it will not load. This condition has existed now for well over a week.
Awesome App I use this app all the time. The 2014 upgrades are awesome, user friendly, and give a ton of information.
North East Coast Only???? Doesn't help out anywhere but US Northeast Coast
Awesome phone app for CBIBS buoy system I love the newest Features. The app is better than ever. Much more useful than the web site for CBIBS! I always check the CBIBS realtime buoys before heading out on the Chesapeake. I disagree with one of the bad reviews. This app is only meant for the CBIBS buoys for the Chesapeake bay. There are only 10 CBIBS buoys. Great app.
Great information Has been a very useful app. And now after the update it's even better. I love the map view.
Avid fisherman need this info to be safe and productive. Good deal
fatal error on line 41 "cannot use /var/www/vhost *******" i regret to say after installing twice, just not working. i can set and change preferences, but... too bad because I use smart bouy data a lot to sail on Chesapeake. when will windmill point be back online?-galaxy tab 7
Great but.. I absolutely love this app! I teach the oceanography meritbadge at Rodney Scout Reservation so we are one and in the chesapeake qute often! I also like the detailed description of each measurement and its purposr, this will really help with explaining things. But is it possible to have a measurement of tide? Even as simple as low, med, and high tide?
Permissions??? I love this app, but I refuse to update it. No reason you need access to my Google account. That's shady.
Excellent app I do not normally comment on apps, but this app deserves props. For the Chesapeake Bay, It is great for fishing conditions. I give the 5 star rating for the app and the service. I had an issue this weekend with the app not working, so I sent an email. Within a day I had a reply and buoy readings. (Android) Thank you!
Need water temperature? The Chesapeake Bay smart buoys provide useful info for sailors, kayakers, and SUP folks. This app puts it right on my Android smartphone.
Awesome! Love this app. And i wish people would quit complaining about the fact that only ches bay buoys are shown. Read the description!
Great app Useful for fishing. And of course it only shows the chesapeake bay buoys it is called noaa chesapeake bay buoys
Doesn't scale property on HTC sensation (ui is statically sized for smaller screens)
Works fine for those buoys. Any chance you can add other buoys on the east coast? It's a fine app that I would like to see more uselful.
I live near all of these places so this is pretty cool.
Couldn't find BLTM2 buoy data in this app. There is any reason for this? New to sailing and looking for a good source for Baltimore inner harbor winds

What's New
Version 15:
The new NOAA Smart Buoys app works on tablets and smartphones and lets you use data from the NOAA Chesapeake Bay Interpretive Buoy System (CBIBS) to create your own custom graphs. Now you can choose your buoy from a Google Maps setup, too. And the app gives you easy access to more information about each CBIBS buoy’s location.
Version 15 includes bug fixes with Application Preferences, corrects links to Partners pages and performance enhancements to the auto-rotate function.
