Pros and cons of Coastalwatch Surf Check app for iPhone and iPad

Coastalwatch Surf Check app good for

Gives you everything you need. -swell, wind, tides, etc. doesnt get any better.
Its very useful at least for a newcomer to the area (Sydney), before going I check the weather, pictures and read the reports, which are always fun to read.

Some bad moments

You need to pay an account on costal watch to watch webcam... Give me my money back!
Ads , locked features... I regret the automatic upgrade. The previous version - which I paid for - was more complete, more genuine. This app used to be a must have. It has now absolutely no interest compared to other apps/sites unless you subscribe and pay, pay, pay, pay, pay... (Great business plan, guys)
The surf review is so generalized and covers way too large of an area, its also written only once per day around 6am, no help at all for choosing where to surf, its also not very legible. Save your money; this app is only useful for swell and wind direction (swell size is always wrong)
Dont waste your money. Ive paid for the app and now you have to pay again to get video and detailed reports. I want my money back!
Dont get this app theres only 5 locations and doesnt update often!!
If you live in Hawaii this is not the app for you because I live in hawaii and this is what i bought it for
