User reviews

It’s amazing!

This is the best app for the ocean! It tells me literally everything I need to know and it’s super well formatted!

Doesn’t track where you are.

I need to know what the tides are where I am!

Thanks

I live in Hudson Florida. I go out in the ocean all the time with a underwater metal detector and do underwater metal detecting up to my neck. I use the site often to give me an idea of the water temperature and the wave and swell heights. I definitely give you guys five stars, thank you.

Response from developer

So glad you find it helpful. Happy underwater treasure hunting!

Nag nag nag

One star. Didnt want to be nagged for eternity to rate this app. Your popups harassing for a rating are annoying. Should be a "duck no" button rather than a "later" button.
What gives you such a hard on for a rating that you feel the need to harass users for eternity until they rate your app?

Ok then here you go. One star. For nagging me for 4 god damned months.
Go back to college and learn gui. And stop harassing.

NO MEANS NO!

Accurate info - I just don’t care what the ride was 4 days ago!

My only issue is when you tap on the tides to get a list view, the list doesn’t scroll up as the days go by. That means that you’ll often times be seeing all the tides listed for up to 4 days prior, but can’t see what it will be tomorrow or the next day (which is why I use a tide chart!)
