Don’t bother

Doesn’t actually accurately display times. Waste of money.

Okay

Only displays tide on the day “tides near me” app is better if you want the next days tide

Bad layout

Why don’t you show the Beach name ?? Like Takapuna Beach??? I’m still trying to find the high tide for Takapuna Beach ?? Look forward to an improvement! Cheers Milton

Not working

The app opens a map of my location and when I click on the dropped pin the app immediately closes. I have paid the yearly subscription, as well I have tried deleting and reinstalling the app. No luck
