### 1/5 — Inaccurate

*2023-02-25, version 8.40*

My local tide times seem incorrect by more than an hour.

### 1/5 — Not accurate

*2022-01-01, version 8.32*

Not accurate, between 1-2hrs out from the correct times.

### 1/5 — Update

*2018-04-09, version 5.1*

This app has no dates for 2018 making it quite useless.
Wondering why there is no accountability by the developer. Do not purchase this app is probably best accountability.

### 1/5 — Don't buy this app!!

*2018-02-22*

There has been no updated information since Dec 2017. Totally useless.

### 1/5 — 2018 NZ version not working

*2018-01-21, version 5.1*

Best iOS app but on 1 January 2018 it stopped working on my iPhone for NZ Tide Times.  I’m ruined

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work in 2018

*2017-12-31, version 5.1*

Happy new year. Not. 
This app doesn’t have any data beyond 2017 so just displays zeros now. 
This is in addition to the other problems such as getting daylight saving wrong and not persisting user preferences. 
I guess this is the developer’s way of saying they can’t be bothered.

### 1/5 — Wrong results

*2017-03-05, version 5.1*

This has been giving the tides an hour out for ages and has not been corrected.

### 1/5 — Inaccurate- waste of time

*2016-01-05, version 5.1*

Good specific areas, but Tide Times are incorrect which makes it worse than useless.

### 1/5 — Incorrect daylight saving correction

*2015-12-30*

On 30/12/15 this app provided a high tide time in NZDT, one hour later than the NZ met service (that is "corrected for daylight savings"). This apps incorrect daylight saving correction wrecked our day.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2015-05-19, version 5.1*

Useless. App times 1.5 hrs different to metservice
