mobile app differs from desktop app
-
I'm looking at my mobile app on iPhone right beside my Windows 10 app and the wave data are different. Everything else is the same, but the wave data are 1.2 ft on mobile and 3-4 on desktop. I just came from the beach and the mobile app is more accurate.

Hi, have you checked that both devices use really the same units (ft or m) and that you have selected the same model (ECMWF WAM or Wavewatch) ?
Then I don’t see a difference but I use a Mac as desktop.
It could be useful that you show screenshots on both devices. -
Any thoughts on how accurate the forecasts are?

What can we say? It depends on the area you are interested in... the models available there... the parameters you take into account... on what deadline… -
I think maybe different brands may have different standards.

Do you have any opinions regarding the accuracy of the forecasts?

It's interesting to note the disparity in wave data between your iPhone and Windows 10 apps, especially when both devices show consistency in other aspects. If the mobile app's 1.2 ft aligns better with your real-time beach experience, it could indicate that the mobile version provides more accurate and up-to-date wave data. Trusting the app that aligns with your on-site observations is key.

Please could you show screenshots from the mobile app and from website to show the discrepancies. -

I've noticed a discrepancy in the wave data between my iPhone app and Windows 10 app. While everything else appears consistent, the wave height on my mobile app shows 1.2 ft, whereas the desktop app indicates 3-4 ft. Interestingly, the mobile app aligns more closely with my recent beach experience, suggesting it might be more accurate.

Both use the same data. So it is not possible that one of your devices is more accurate than the other. Or there is a bug somewhere.
Could you show screenshots from your devices, with the same wave model and same update time of the model.Here is what I got with the browser version and with the mobile at same spot.
Tides do not seem consistent when UTC is displayed. Strangely the discrepancy disappears when the times are not displayed in UTC (Z).
Need to be checked again.
