ABOUT PREDICTIONS
Predictions are based on the harmonic method, using constants from the Hydro offices (UKHO, SHOM, NOAA, BOM, CHS etc). There are differences between the app predictions and the official Hydro office tide tables, as these are based on large numbers of constants that are not made publicly available. The Hydro offices consider the harmonic methods used in this product appropriate for navigation.

Always consult tidal curves and take into account local weather (pressure and wind) and swell conditions, which can have a very significant effect on sea water levels.

Not good for use in the States. You need to buy it every year for a new license. Not worth it.


Best app

Tnx to developer and inform there is a little difference by admiralty.


ok
Cant find a nontaken nickname

Pretty good, you dont need to know currents if you know anything about water...high tide, the current is coming in, low tide, current is going out. so difficult i know. app is ok if you have a clue of whats going on

Doesn't have detailed NW locations. Specifically Vashon Island and inner harbor areas.


Good enough

Does what it says


Decent App
Tinman@>@

The app is decent, don't know why the full app cost $7.99 at the app store. Needs a lot of upgrades before I even consider getting this app. Good graphics but lacks resources.


Lousy selection of locations
cab1024

They've got 6 spots inside Monterey Bay and nothing along the coast between Monterey and San Francisco, not even Santa Cruz. Useless unless you live at one of their spots, like all the iPhone users along the coast of Africa.


Awful app don't waste your time.
thekeithfan

This app is awful I'm standing on the beach wanting to know when high tide is I hit the gps loc and it comes up with the nearest port on the app about 30 miles away!


Other One
LucyMingus

Tide information for southeast Alaska off by quite a bit making app useless.


Not user friendly
OIEAMZLKX

Tried this app and found it too difficult to use. I have little patience so if you're willing to spend the time to figure it out you might find it worthwhile. I just deleted it.
