The best App on my phone

Pleasant graphics, accurate all over NZ, and easy to use. It would be hard to live without as I am a swim nut. Thank you Will and team. 110% 👍👍👍😎
Still valid today 👍😄

Widget not great!

I bought this for the widget, on iPhone 13, ios15.5, hoping that the widget would be good but it’s not. It automatically only displays the port, and the current tide height. If you want the high tide times you may try your luck tapping on the chart to try and work out the next high tide but it’s only accurate if you can tap exactly the right spot, and that is hard to do! And on the widget you can’t drag the line to try and adjust it.
I want to see today’s high tides, and if it’s already nighttime then I want to see tomorrow’s high tides. The app can show these OK but not the widget.

A “must have” if you live by the sea

Most useful & we refer to this App frequently; it's a "must have", if you enjoy the sea. Highly recommended!

Easy to use and helpful

Just what I need to workout the best times for swimming and Kai Moana (that's seafood) gathering. I’ve been using it for a few years now and wouldn’t consider any other.

Highly Recommended.

A great simple app to check the tide. My favourite feature is the ‘classic’ widget. I’ve been using this app for years and was gutted when it stopped working the other day. But thankfully the dev just released a fix. Cheers!

What’s gone wrong

Worked brilliantly on my iPhone for many years. Now it just flashes briefly on the screen before the screen goes blank

Disappointed it has failed to update after New Year 2022

I had to purchase this after a previous App (NZ Tides Pro) failed when updated !!! This one was much better as it opens in the port you choose.
Unfortunately it has now failed to update in the New Year, despite the info saying it has tides til the end of 2022 😣

App not working

Tried using app today (have been using it for a long time) It not longer works on my iPhone 13 Pro with up to date IOS. I deleted the app, and was charged $3.49 to te-download it. It’s still not working. Just bins out every time I try to open the app. There is no clear link to customer support. I sent an e-mail to developer, hoping to receive a reply and fix ASAP

Please please please Fix

The best tides app for NZ bar none. However now it won’t open at all. I’ve deleted and installed several times. Turned phone right off and rebooted. No luck.
Please please please fix.

Killer app, questionable data.

I’ve been using this app for years, almost daily. It’s become a part of my consciousness because I’ve come to put that much faith in the information it gives me, all over NZ, anywhere and anywhen. I’ve relied on data from this app to navigate French pass in low vis with a small sailboat, because I trusted it that much. To my knowledge, it’s never given me false information. Imagine my shock when I checked the tide against my mate’s Samsung and they didn’t match, not even close. I checked all the settings and the date and time were accurate. I convinced him to check all his updates, then asked google, then called 0800 MARTIME and asked for the official tides for where we were - Samsung Wins!! Stink. I hope I’m wrong and someone responds to set me straight, but dodgy tide timetables could, and do, get people killed.
