THE WHOLE CHAIN AT A GLANCE
Open the map and every buoy carries its current wave height and swell direction, color-coded so a big day stands out before you read a single number. Tap any buoy for the full picture.

Each store’s release notes, as the developer wrote them. They are the developer’s words, not ours.
HI Buoy has been rebuilt from the ground up. • A new map of every buoy around the islands, framed to fit your screen • Swell Power chart with touch-and-drag readings • Swell and wind wave shown separately, with a 16-hour trend on every buoy • Buoys that stop reporting are clearly marked • Works in portrait and landscape, on phones and tablets
Appworthy
hi-buoyWhat the stores publish. Store ratings are the stores’ numbers, not Appworthy’s, and are never averaged across stores.
No itemized purchase list is available for this listing.
Not yet tested. No analysis has been published for this app, so there is no method to describe for it yet. A missing label is not a clean bill of health: it means nothing has been read, not that nothing is wrong.
Write to [email protected], or use the form. Name the finding, the app version and the evidence that needs correcting. Factual corrections are free and never depend on buying anything.
