SailGrib Weather Routing user reviews :

Fantastic! Hmm beats iNavX and Navionics-much faster and more intuitive.
  • SailGrib
  • We’re always working hard to improve the app. Thanks for your download and feedback.
Great little app, surprisingly feature packed for a freebie
  • SailGrib
  • Thanks, this is not really à “little app”. It is the most powerful and feature rich sailing app as long as you get the Premium option!

Used the full version of the app to great effect in the 2019 fastnet. The developer was quick to answer questions and make suggestions and i found my way round the system quickly. Lots of polars, and easy to create you own. I would definitley recomend this app.
