My favorite tide app for sailing and kayaking. Been using it for years. I tried a bunch of em. This one is simple easy to read, add free, small and bug free. I would also like to to see a map of the tide stations and current data in future versions. Thanks Lawrence!

Thank you Liam. With current stations, the station density is very high in S F Bay area, and I am working on that area first. Please let me know any ideas or thoughts. Thanks tide.now@gmail.com

Perfect, no frills, does what you need tide table, (with sun and moon info too). Stoked on not needing to access the internet, as I am often at locations where service is spotty. No ads either which is super nice. Thanks for a great app!

Dylan, Thank you for the review. Questions and suggestions always welcome, tide.now@gmail.com. Oh, and try out Tide Now USA West sometime. It will not conflict with your current app. bye. Larry

Just works, and well! One very minor request is to automatically refresh tide data after install, we had to hit the refresh button and then it was curtent.. Otherwise, very awesome! Our almost daily go-to for ocean fun. Kudos developer! No ads and offline use tickles us, too.

Hi Matthew, Thank you for the review. About the refresh button, there are options to skip ahead or behind a day, or to any calendar date. So the app outputs the prediction, it always shows the date and time. The time line also reminds you of the time of prediction by the vertical cursor. no room for a whole reply, tide.now@gmail.com for questions.
