User reviews

No hassle app

It just works - easy to use and value for money!

Updated useless.

Got to the end of 2025 then stopped. Did not move into 2026. No updates into new year…nothing. Where I was movement in car depends on tides. Remote no signal, so could not download new. Really inconvenient and annoying.

Accurate - 1 improvement please!

I have checked this app randomly against information from tide tables for a Solent standard port and it was spot on for height and times. Checked some secondary ports against easytide.admiralty.co.uk and heights were pretty much bang on, and timings if different were by a few minutes. This was a lot better than a couple of other apps some friends had. SUGGESTION: standard ports stand out in the A-Z ports list (they are capitalised) but once selected to show tide times there should be an indication whether we are looking at a Standard or a Secondary port. (The capitalisation is lost and I have not spotted another indicator)

That’s what it says on the 10th

This is a good app. I know some people are reluctant to pay, but why would you not pay for something that is gonna make life easier?

Easy and quick to use, no frills

Used for 2 years and good overall. Quick to see tide times and heights and tidal height at a particular time. Use of offsets is confusing, not well explained. Inshore weather forecast doesn't always download the latest info
