This is a useful tool to have to hand.

Watch complication DOES NOT WORK

It seems it’s actually a static snapshot, despite appearing to be a live tidal height. It would be better if the complication just displayed the app icon!!

The app itself on the watch is also very disappointing. For example, on the graph view the heights shown don’t match the curve - the turning points are not even at the times LW and HW are shown. I suspect the curve displayed is arbitrary, not in fact a plot of the predictions. But I’m not investing the time to find out.

Unsubscribed.

DO NOT BUY… if…

Do not buy if you need access to any tide data prior to one week ago. I used this app for my job to search for previous tide times more than a week ago but now the developers have updated the app limiting many options including this one. Best bet is to go with another app developer. It was good, now it’s not.

Useful but fixes required

I like the way the data is presented but there are two problems: - the search should be case-independent (should be trivial) as the place names have inconsistent capitalisation - the watch app doesn’t always update for a new day and I have to go back to the bookmark list and re-select to refresh

No meaningful update for at least a year, looks abandoned

Poole Harbour data missing

Why are the tide times for Poole Harbour not in this App? It’s a primary port, listed in all the Almanacs. Tides for Bournemouth are listed but that’s just a beach, not a port. This needs rectifying.

Terrible location data

I can only speak for the part of the world I am interested in. But if the person making the app actually bothered to scan the local area. They would see that Newcastle, isn’t a seaside location. Think they need to actually bother to research their locations, given they just updated their app, would have hoped they corrected this. But they haven’t

Great, but Apple Watch complications

Sometimes the app disappears from Apple Watch. When it works, it’s brilliant.
The main iPhone app is the best I’ve found.
Please fix the Apple Watch bug!!!!

Stopped working

I have had the app for a couple of years with no trouble. Now when I click on a location pin it shuts down. Tried reinstalling same thing. Requested support but no response.

Good App small problem

I enjoyed this app. The only problem for me was the daily forwarded arrow. It’s to small. Instead of advancing daily it keeps opening the date page.

CAPITAL letters SOMETIMES essential

DON'T BUY. Poor search facility. Sometimes I want to check Sheerness times, sometimes Whitstable or Dungeness. But it will not recognise Sheerness as a place name unless it's written SHEERNESS all capitals. But Whitstable has to be initial cap only. And it won't accept the word if there's a space after it, even if it's been put there automatically by your phone.

There's very few links in the app but all the Links are missing. As the app hasn't been updated for 8 months (as of July 2021) I assume the developers have given up on it and are hoping that unsuspecting customers keep paying up.
