Common questions

Does the app need an account or sign-in?▸

No. It works immediately on first launch — no account, no login, nothing to set up beyond your boat's comfort thresholds.

What happens to my data?▸

Your boat profile, position fixes, and trip log stay on your device. Nothing is sent to a server we operate. Requests for weather and marine data go to public sources (Open-Meteo, aviationweather.gov, OpenStreetMap and OpenSeaMap) using GPS coordinates only — never anything that identifies you.

Does it work without a data connection?▸

Forecasts and live station cross-checks need a data connection — mobile signal, Starlink, or whatever gets your phone online. The marina and harbour search works with no signal anywhere in the Mediterranean, because the app carries its own list of more than 3,600 places to moor. Logged fixes and your trip history stay available offline since they're stored on-device.

Why does it want my location?

Location (While Using) fills in your current position fix and centers searches for nearby harbours. If you decline it, you can enter your position manually instead — nothing in the app requires GPS access.

I found a bug or have a feature idea — what's the best way to tell you?

Email the address above with what you were doing, what you expected, and what happened instead. A screenshot helps enormously. Feature ideas are just as welcome — most of what's in the app started as a tester's suggestion.

How do I get a refund?

Refunds go through Apple or Google directly, since they handle the purchase — we don't have access to process them ourselves. On iPhone: reportaproblem.apple.com. On Android: open the Play Store listing and use Play's refund request within 48 hours of purchase, or Google's standard refund process after that.

Before you rely on it at sea Med Sailing Weather is built for Mediterranean coastal sailing, not bluewater passages, and it needs a data connection to work. It's a second, plain-English opinion — not a replacement for official forecasts, navigation charts, or your own judgement as skipper.
