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!) ### 3/5 — This close to 5 stars *2022-09-11, version 1.8.3* Graph view on iPhone 11 Pro doesn’t render properly - high and low tide times are bunched together and unreadable. Also can’t get rid of ads. Can the devs help?? ### 3/5 — Settings - SI units *2019-10-23, version 1.8.2* Has option of degrees Celsius and Fahrenheit for temperature but only feet for measurement, not metres. ### 5/5 — My Go-To before I Go-Out! *2019-04-27, version 1.7.1* Simple and fast way to stay apprised of real time data before heading to the water. A must have! ### 3/5 — Nice *2019-04-19, version 1.7.1* Wish the mayport info listed the swell . ### 2/5 — Celsius Temperatures Don’t Display *2019-01-02, version 1.7* Have Celsius temperature as the default setting but doesn’t display the correct temperature scale on the main screen. Please fix it. Also would be great to add siri voice shortcut. ### 5/5 — Fantastic app *2018-11-15, version 1.4* Such a handy app to have if you’re planning on going to the beach. Easy to find nearby water temperatures so you can have an accurate idea before dipping in. 10/10 would recommend! 🙌🏻 also, the developer has been pretty open to suggestions and has had great communication which is refreshing. Download this app! ### 4/5 — Wrong Info *2018-02-22, version 1.3* Very nice app, but: The app is showing as data from Clearwater Beach, buoy 8726724. This is incorrect. The app is actually retrieving data from Clearwater Harbour, buoy 8726706 and displaying it as from Clearwater Beach. ### 4/5 — Ocean Temp Stopped Working *2018-02-20, version 1.3* App has been working fine and now it opens momentarily and closes before you can type. ### 5/5 — Great app stopped opening *2018-02-20, version 1.3* Been using for 6 Mo and now program won’t open . Either their program is hacked or my machine or both. Can’t get the producers because the app won’t open. If you fix it I’ll give a better score. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Tides missing *2026-07-30, version 1.8.3* Tide information constantly missing! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t track where you are. *2024-06-28, version 1.8.3* I need to know what the tides are where I am! ### 1/5 — Nag nag nag *2024-02-08, version 1.8.3* 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! ### 1/5 — Stopped working June-2023 *2023-07-01, version 1.8.3* This app stopped working and has no way to report issues. ### 1/5 — Illegible print *2023-02-17, version 1.8.3* Can’t read times on tide chart and when clicking on it, can’t see bottom line which is most current time. Can it be fixed?? ### 1/5 — Useless *2022-08-25, version 1.8.3* App does nothing useful. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2022-02-18, version 1.8.3* This app crashed every time I tried using it. After 10 times in only a couple of minutes, I deleted it. On top of that, the reason I got it was to view the ocean temperature, which it said was 1° on the South Carolina coast. ### 1/5 — No longer works *2021-12-10, version 1.8.3* This app has been my go to Buoy app for over a year. It stopped loading buoy data suddenly this week. I’ve deleted the app and reinstalled, to no effect. Going to move to another one. Sad to see this go. ### 1/5 — Crap app *2021-08-05, version 1.8.3* If I could award a negative number I would. It is midsummer in the pacific NW and apparently the water is -18 ### 1/5 — Surf’s up *2021-03-05, version 1.8.2* Everything you need to know ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It’s amazing! *2026-04-23, version 1.8.3* This is the best app for the ocean! It tells me literally everything I need to know and it’s super well formatted! ### 5/5 — Thanks *2024-05-04, version 1.8.3* 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. ### 5/5 — Great *2021-05-07, version 1.8.3* Great app and useful ### 5/5 — I check the app first thing every morning *2020-10-10, version 1.8.2* I follow this app religiously. It gives me accurate ocean temperature. ### 5/5 — Makes it easy to prepare for trip *2020-08-25, version 1.8.2* It makes it easy to see conditions before leaving. It makes it clear what time tide comes in and water temperature East app ever! I always have this app tell me the temp and tide values so I know what time to plan for the beach or a surf. Love this app. ### 5/5 — Barnaget *2020-06-03, version 1.8.2* Can’t refresh! Please look into ! ### 5/5 — Awesome App *2019-11-16, version 1.8.2* Very well built and extremely useful for me and my list of hobbies that involve the ocean. Thanks for taking the time to create such a great app!!! ### 5/5 — So useful! *2019-11-16, version 1.8.2* I love this app and I'm so grateful someone took the time to provide this very useful data to the rest of the world! Very worth it to pay $2/year for the upgrade. Highly recommend!! ### 5/5 — Real information, what a concept! *2019-06-25, version 1.8.2* Unlike other similar apps for wind conditions this one actually appears to use real and recent observations as the source of information it provides. I know this from directly comparing what is happening to what the app says. I cannot find another app that does this. Instead, they all seem to use some algorithms based on old information from locations unknown to provide their users with information; wrong information at least 75% of the time. ### 5/5 — Love it *2019-05-28, version 1.8.1* Use this anytime I go out. Very simple and informative. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
