Great design

Clear, clean, and intuitive to use with a solid amount of functionality. Way better than any other tide app I’ve used for both casual beach walking and multiple night backpacks past pinch points :)

Great App

Simple and very easy to use

I love this app

It’s kept me in the know for a long time now! Very helpful

A Rare Unicorn

No in-app purchases. No subscriptions. No data collection. No ads. Clear, concise, and useful presentation of data. I practically did a double-take when I ran across this app store listing.

This app is a rare unicorn. A vestige of the App Store that was. All apps should be this good and respectful of their user base. Cherish it and hope that the developer never changes their tact.

Response from developer

Thank you. Happy users and comments like this is what makes the work worth it.

Simply the best!

This is the best tide app that I have found. Works perfect for me at the SC coast.

Essential App for exploring the coast

We live in Arroyo Grande CA on the central coast of California between Big Sur and Santa Barbara. Lots of rugged coastline to explore. Without any knowledge of the tides a person could easily find themselves stranded because of the rising tide trapping them in a secluded cove. I have had to warn many unwary tourists to head back to the main beaches to avoid being stranded. We use this app every time we beach walk which is very often.

Thank you for your support. Always fun to hear how people use the app.

Does not work on iWatch

Does not work on iWatch. False advertisement.

Variably confusing

The display format seems to change, sometimes to elaborate, hard-to-comprehend charts. Can’t get back to simpler charts. Also hard to determine what date is.

Great tide app

I love the ad-free version

Nice

Working so nice!

Goo stuff.

Great having tide info. An extra might be water temps. Perhaps available at specific locations in the area?

easy to use and enjoyable

I have been searching for a good tides app for a while and most are just maps, but ocean watch makes it easy to see not only the current tide but the past and future tides. it makes checking the tides less of a task and more fun!

Gorgeous

Gorgeous app. The most useful and functional tool to chart the tide seen yet. Highly recommend this one to all boaters, sailors, surfers, and beach bums.

Nice

Was working great but it seems the iOS 26 has broke the widget which no longer renders anything but a line ☹️

Awesome tide app

Without a doubt the best tide app available . The widget is awesome too. Get it or be a loser!

Good app, but:

Good basic tide app, but issues with when you click on a station from the map, it opens then immediately shuts. Sometimes takes 3-4 tries before the tide data stays open, other times just once is all that’s needed. Annoying glitch.

Excellent

This app has proven to be quite accurate

Simple and effective

Most simple and effective tide app there is hands down

Great app!

The GUI is easy to understand. App has been very useful in the Puget Sound area. Tidal range can be almost 20 feet. This helps to plan and avoid leaving your boat high and dry when returning from a walk.

A few issues

Rather complicated to set a favorite or set a complication on the watch. The done button doesn’t seem to work and the note section types white on white. This app isn’t keeping up with new releases of iOS or something because it used to work beautifully.
