Marine Weather by Bluefin is pretty good, allows you to get real time data from the live weather stations and has a pretty good forecast feature from NOAA i believe. Gives you a map that have the lake sectioned off in zones and lets you get data for that area. I use it all the time and its been pretty accurate. Was out at Kellys island over labor day and kept an eye on it, decided to shoot for home a day ahead of time based on forecast and boy am i glad i did . . . . . . lake kicked up huge for about a week straight . . . . . course staying out there for an extra week aint all that bad

Chris,

Give "Marine Tuner" a try. The way I understand it is, it can use the GPS on your phone for actual speed and real time calculations:-) Haven't tried it in the water yet.

Regardless it seems to be a more polished Prop Slip app than the Hering app.
