The map doesn’t work

I wish the map worked!

Response from developer

Hi, We are sorry to hear you are having difficulty with our app. We have run some tests and have not been able to replicate any issues with the map. If you are still experiencing this issue, we would greatly appreciate you providing us some additional details so we can further investigate.

Latest changes

Unfortunately, since yesterday, I can no longer find the latest information I require to assess the current and forecast weather, tides and tide heights for safe swimming. Why has this been deleted?. In its current form it is regrettably unfit for purpose.

Doesn’t open maps

Just downloaded this can’t get past the privacy page to actually get to the maps stick with the website until they fix it

Does not resize to iPhone and cannot proceed past privacy notice. App support option didn’t work.

Doesn’t work.

New features

Loved being able to check out tide and safety information for local beach, along with if we can actually swim in it safely or not!
