I use this app quite often as I live near a tidal river. Love it, and would give it a 5 star IF the ads didn't have audio. Or at least the option to turn on the audio if we choose to. Just my two cents.

Terrible! Can't use app untill I wait through 30 seconds of obnoxious ads. Even then it's hard to skip past the ad which takes control of the entire screen. Oh my god this is awful!

New updated: Great and unique one. Paid version is more complete and a lot better. And it not expensive. Full featured, It even includes weather forecasts that are among the best available on my device. It would be even better if it included nautical miles per hour instead of only kilometers per hour for wind speed.

In Martinique, tides was app totally off compared to the official French government tide tables. Not slightly wrong, totally wrong. And the reality was following the official tables. Not that it makes a lot of difference with 0.5m tide, but I will never use this SW for navigational purposes.

App used to be great, but now doesn't work; buttons don't work, developer seems to have not updated it in a year, full screen ads popup and you can't close them.

Update, June 2024: No more radar. Map loads and behaves normally, but radar imagery never loads. Good app..tide page shows graduated heights along margins and maintains them as you scroll to next day. Some bugs in date and numeric displays are corrected in latest version--5 stars!

Wow, i can't believe how useless this app is. All the same to care about is bombarding you with ads. The closest reporting station they offer is over 100 miles from me and i completely different body of water from where i am.

Edit 2024: Reinstalled on a whim. Ads problem seems to have been fixed. Some tidal stations missing however. Still the most straightforward and cleanest UI tides app imho. Raised to 4 stars. Previous review - WARNING - ABANDOWARE! Was once a great app but now basically unusable due to invasive, constant, full screen, unskippable, full volume ads - ads that you can't get rid of even if you pay for no ads. No support from devs, clearly abandoned, sadly uninstalled.

best for WCT and beach hiking. the only app that actually shows you tides at a future specific time of your choosing not just the high and low. daylight included too. I would love to have it make a notification widget with the present tide level, whether it's rising or falling, and the time to the next peak or trough. but as it is it's the most complete tide info app I've found

The best tidal chart display of the many free apps i have tried. However, the UX is so awful because of the ads if ANY other free app had even close to the same quality of tide chart display, i would use it instead. Full screen popup video ads with audio and often no or poorly visible close ad button make using this app painful and i avoid it. It is more convenient than keeping a tide chart website tab open in my browser but barely.
