Leave a Review Tide Graph
It only works in the US
I was very excited to use this app while diving in Thailand. Unfortunately after I bought and installed it I found that it only works in the US. Note to the creator of this app. After searching I found that it is stated on the second page of the iTunes store that it only works for the US. I and perhaps others would benefit if you put this information in a more conspicuous place. I am most disappointed because it looks like a great app that you have put quite a bit of thought and energy. I really wish I could use it.Show lesstvh13
Solid
It seems accurate and the sun/moon rise/set (and lunar phase) info is a great bonus. If the makers want to take it a step further, they could add info about solar/lunar eclipses (I checked the dates of the next couple of lunar eclipses to see if this info was included). It has tidal predictions for my area up to the year 2037. I think this app is solid and well organized.Show lessmidnightm
2.4 better than ever!
This app replaces several other apps that I use to use because it has tide graphs, moon/sun info, monthly tide tables, and accurate predictions. Other tide apps have more locations but they are based on out of date data and I can't tell which ones are good and which are bogus. But, I wrote the author and he said that quality comes first.
The automatic saving of tide graphs is another great feature because it means that I can use this later when I no longer have an internet connection. I just look ahead a few days and it saves the data for later! Very nice! The only thing I would suggest is that you somehow show how many days in the future I have saved so I can be sure I've got the data. Other than that, it's perfect.
Great work! I'll look forward to more great updates!Show lessSeaBoater
Very handy
I do a lot of geocaching, and some of the caches are in tidal areas, so knowing when the tides will be high (or low) is important to avoid getting wet feet. Yes, I have a GPS that shows that info, but it's difficult to look up info for somewhere that you're not near. With Tide Graph, I can pick the area where we want to cache and know from home the height of the tides and plan to be there at that time. This app has made caching in tidal areas much easier for me.Show lessSkippermark
Tide graph 2.3
I've found Tide Graph to be well written and easy to use. It has a very nice feature set. I contacted the author about an issue I was having with displaying the map. He responded quickly, and resolved my issue. He is currently working on incorporating a suggestion I made. Talk about customer service!
I would recommend this program to everyone. It's worth much more than the very reasonable price in the App Store.
Thanks Bryan! Great software!Show lessYaggerhammer
Quite good
This is a 5 star app. It's quite well designed, I like the way all info is brought together. I am a photographer, I like taking pics of wading birds in the early morning and late evening. This app tells me when to be at the beach & bayous. I've had it about a week, no crashes. I've seen in other reviews where some people ask for a way to save the information, for when they go beyond the reach of wi-fi. Just take a screenshot of the screen by pressing the iPhone's home button & power button simulaneously. Then view them later in iPhone's built in Photos app. The only suggestions I can think of for this app are to include a button which takes you back to the present day, and to show the days of the week along with the calendar date.Show lessfestal
Very cool
Simple and clear. My only suggestions are that it would be nice to be able see a graph of more than just one day at a time so you could more easily compare the lowest or highest tides in a given week or month, and it seems silly that you can't save current or future data because youre usually out of range when you'd want to check the tide. This app is easy to use and does exactly what it claims to do.Show lessBrrrrklyn
Informative and easy to use
I've had no problems with this app. I use it frequently to find out exactly when I have to get back to dock so I'm not stranded. It provides information on moon phase and even the rate at which the tide is moving in or out. Couple of changes I would like to see: when chosing another date, use a calendar format rather than just dates, so I don't have to figure out when the next Saturday is. Also, a quick listing of the highest and lowest tide values would be nice, rather than having to find it on the graph. Otherwise, great app for the money.Show lessNovice Sailor
Nicely done, a few issues though
I love how the data is presented... very useful. A few complaints / suggestions though...
1) Ditto the request to make the graph full-screen when the iPhone is rotated.
2) The network connectivity requirement could be a problem... if we're out of cell tower range, the app becomes useless. I realize that this app needs access to the network to obtain data needed for the more sophisticated calculations, but perhaps a "failsafe" mode could be implemented in the event of no network access, giving a more simplified calculation that could be made internally (like many GPS receivers do). If that is not feasible, another idea is to give the user the option to "pre-load" data for a certain area and timeframe. If I know I'll be cruising in a particular area for the next few weeks, but that I'll probably be out of network range during that time, I could specify that the next two weeks of data for all stations within a certain distance be preloaded and stored on the iPhone.
3) Minor UI niggle, related to the above. View tidal data for a particular station, then go into Airplane Mode to shutdown network access. Try to select a different station, and you get the message warning that there's no network access, asking if you want to "load the last tide plot", tap OK. You then get a display that shows the location you just picked, but with the tidal data for the previous location.Show lessMichael Caswell
Not bad but missing some stuff
Nice app with nice graphics. But it needs some work (some of this is mentioned in other reviews) 1) A "favorites" area to list multiple locations/tide stations 2) The "map" feature does not actually give you the location of the tide station (i.e. where the tides are measured) but only the general area. If you're trying to predict local tides from a distant station this can be misleading. 3) The has the ability to drag the cursor on the tide height vs. time chart. It's a nice feature, but it needs a button that will lock it back to the current time. 4) You should be able to change units to metric. 5) It'd be nice if the tide stations were optionally presented on a map that could be zoomed/panned similar to a Google Map, so you can see graphically which tide station you want. Otherwise you kind of need to know the area and the tide stations in advance. My 2 cents...Show lessvschmidt
