About this app

Displays officially licenced UKHO tidal data on an annual basis without ever needing to go online.

The tidal data is contained in our annual data plugins and must be purchased using in-app purchases. Therefore this app should not be considered a free app.

Once you have purchased the data, this app will allow you to view UKHO standard port tides up to a year in advance.

The app will also calculate secondary port tides using either your offset data or its own built in offsets. (at least 38 primary ports and over 500 secondary ports, see our website for more details on coverage)

The main view is an 'At a glance' table view of each month's tides and tidal ranges.

Selecting an entry will display an easy to use daily chart view showing the tide height for any time of day and a tidal stream view showing tidal direction and speed at hourly intervals.

The 'At a glance' info for today can also be displayed on your homescreen using our widget.

Downloads and displays the current Met Office Inshore Forecast.

Absolute Tides also makes anchoring easy by calculating the maximum and minimum tides beween the current time and any selected future date/time.

Note: This application will NOT work without at least one of our tidal data in-app purchases being installed. Please check that the tide data you want is available before downloading this app. As will all Android Apps, the widget will not work if the app is stored on an SD card.

For leisure use only.
Heights of tides can vary from those predicted depending on the prevailing weather conditions.
All data is given in good faith and is believed to be correct but we accept no responsibility for any consequential loss or damage arising from use of this application.
Secondary port data calculated using offsets will be less accurate than the UKHO standard port data.

Ratings and reviews

Edit; very good app now it works again. I appreciate the number of ports available along with the tidal curves and atlas. It was a good app in previous years, but now it doesn't work for the River Tyne. As this is my local port the app doesn't work for it is useless to me. Deleting and reinstalling the port data as suggested, hasn't fixed the problem. Reporting a problem isn't easy either.

On Android at least this app doesn't compensate for daylight savings so in the summer it's running one hour behind. No possibility of changing it. The tidal currents are good which is the only reason I'm keeping it. The amount of places is limited compared to the app "Tide Times" which does compensate for daylight savings.

Thank you for fixing the control button 'overlay' problem. Back to 5 stars. I use it every time I go sailing and more when planning passages. Excellent, thank you.
