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.

Ratings and reviews

Terrible update Since the new update, the views all seem to have changed and are nowhere near as user friendly. More importantly, I bought a year license for the UK back in February and now it doesn't allow me to look forwards (May to June). Finally, I click on a saved Favourite for today's tidal range and it asks if I'm sure I want to go there - ridiculous!

Where's the Android help? IoS is available. Is it the same? Don't like that you can't click an arrow to move to the next day. The help isn't very good. No description of what the clocks do (I wasn't too sure about the red & green hands in the last version, but was just getting used to it!). Always says today's date in the tides, despite it obviously changing & the calendar is on the date I want. Time indicated is very confusing. I'm not at all confident using this!

This is an awful update and full of bugs. it takes ages to load on start up, says it is syncing purchases (every time) and the is Initialising App for ages. Then when you click on a favourite it asks if you are sure you want to view it? And I don't find the new screens or interface user friendly at all. How did this release get past testing? Bring back the older version.
