LuckGrib at Mac App Store analyse

#FR: Très bonne application, l’ergonomie est vraiment au top. Très facile de switcher entre plusieurs fichiers gribs. Choisir les données affichées, etc… Vivement les prochaines versions :) #EN: Very good application, ergonomics is really on top . Very easy to switch between several gribs files. Select the displayed data , etc … Waiting for next updates :)

finaly a grib viewer from a sailor and for the sailor! Elegant user interface. Able to operate with large grib files (running historical data of the entire Atlantic for 2015). Developper keen to listen for new features to be included and commited to high quality long term development of the application. It is a five star for me. Paolo S/Y Necton

I haven’t spent a ton of time with this, but after an hour or so it’s great for rev 1.0. As far as I can tell it assumes there is an internet connection and doesn’t have any comm control features or asynchronous email requests. Very nice UI and informative display! I wish I had had this while cruising the south pacific.

This is by far the best Grib viewer that I could find. Finding a viewer for a MAC was hard enough, but this is even better than any PC based program I used on my last computer. Great graphics and options of viewing. Highly recommend this program to any serious offshore sailor!

I happen to be in my final semester of school in the pursuit of a Meteorology degree at Virginia Tech. I have gone through the weather classes really just trying to make good grades and get my credentials (As most college students do). I had the mentality of someone who’s only focus was that GPA. This is a very different goal than LEARNING to the best of my ability (which is what I should have been doing all along). I think the issue with me is that I was unable to really develop a true appreciation for this field. After using this pristine piece of software, I found myself just playing around and trying my hand at forecasting. The way that this program uses interpolation, in my opinion, is the best part about it. I can’t even imagine the amount of work that these people put into this program. Because of that, I feel that what you are actually getting for only 20 dollars makes the decision to purchase this warranted - if not imperitive for someone with ANY interest in weather phenomena. This is an incredible tool, and it requires you to take the time to understand the different variables and how they relate to weather. This is work, but once things slowly begin to click mentally, you begin to develop insight into just how powerful this product is. I also think that we should take some time to appreciate the fine humans who distribute the incredibly vast amount of weather data for free. We live in an incredible world with incredible technology allowing us to think on a level that seemed unimaginable a very short time ago. If you are intersested in weather for any reason, you are simply missing out if you don’t give this a try!

First off, the software creator, Craig, is awesome. Before purchasing this app I sent him an email asking a couple questions and he responded almost immediately. Second off, this is hands down the best grib viewer for Mac. I spent quite a bit of time trying to port grib viewers from Windows/Linux on to Mac and I spent quite a bit of time trying to find one that was natively supported by Mac. Long story short, I stumbled across this gem. I have rougly 10 years of forecasting experience for aviation and remote expeditions. I would like to note that I do not have a sailing background, which is what this app is focused towards. However, for what I do this app is amazing. It’s fast and efficient, and the software developer is quick to respond to any issues. There is a pretty extensive list of things you can do as far as creating your own styles and color schemes and if you have a meteorological background then this app is for you.
