Otherwise it would be a 5 star ### 3/5 — Best tide app but won’t remember my favorite *2021-01-16* Deletes my favorite locations every time I close app. Is there a fix? ### 2/5 — Not as good as the original *2020-10-04, version 3.1.20* I downloaded this app as I used the first version almost daily (living in the Gulf Islands BC). Disappointed that tides from Montague no longer available and no tides from Fulford or Ganges as well. If you liked the prior app for the excellent coverage in this area, you will not like this version as well. Too bad. ### 3/5 — Awesome app but... *2020-01-03* Great app for tide on your Apple Watch but you only get it in Feet and not meters... on the phone app you can change it to metric but this isn’t mirrored by the watch app... please can you update this? ### 4/5 — Please update to work with new Watch 4 faces *2018-09-22* Please update to work with the new watch 4 faces. Your complication does not show up. Yours is the best tide app. **Developer response:** Apple Watch 4 faces now available in v3.1.1 ### 3/5 — Worse than the first version *2018-07-28, version 3.0.8* For some reason, the app keeps reverting back to “La Jolla” location even though I delete that location because it’s nowhere near me. After a few instances of loading to my only preferred location (and after I deleted “La Jolla”), it reverts back to La Jolla and deletes my chosen location. It never used to do that. It also is missing many locales that were in the original version. Why do App developers do this? This version is worse than the original. ### 2/5 — Old free app was better *2018-06-27, version 3.0.8* My app keeps defaulting to la jolla. I have to manually plug in Tofino every time. I use to love this app please update ### 2/5 — Half Moon Bay, British Columbia *2018-01-21, version 3.0.5* What gives, the previous free app had my area on it, perfect. Now I pay for an app that does less than a free one? Looking forward to your update. Closest I get is Vancouver? Only wish is that the creators of this app are somewhat familiar with regional tides as there is about a 20 minute different timing here as well as a different levels. Please hire someone with this knowledge as it does effect us boat owners. Perhaps someone can recommend an app that has this info. I will have to use this one as a rough backup. Not happy considering it is a paid app. ### 1/5 — Please add more BC tide stations *2017-12-18, version 3.0.5* The old version included Sooke BC. The new version only has Victoria on Southern Vancouver Island, which is not accurate fore my area. Please update as this is a great app for fisherman. ### 3/5 — Best tide app but one glitch *2017-11-21* I’ve been using and suggesting this app to friends for years. Simple, intuitive, and reliable until recently. I bought an Apple Watch and for some reason I can no longer get the app on the watch to work. #bummed. I hope there’s a solution. **Developer response:** I have to restart my Apple Watch from time to time. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2017-11-17, version 3.0.5* The old version was great, this new version doesn’t have many locations so accurate local information is not available. Kinda disappointed. ### 1/5 — Port Moody, BC Canada *2017-10-24, version 3.0.5* The old app worked fine for me but your new IOS11.1-compatible, which I had to buy, is a waste of money for my location. Not happy. ### 2/5 — Rest on your laurels, get replaced. *2017-10-16* ShralpTide2 was my go-to app for tides, but the bugs just kept coming. It could never seem to identify my location, it never could seem to remember my favorite locations, and it never got an update that actually gave you the real time of the tide - just expected us to approximate on the graph. Still, it was the best one out there. Well, they rested too long on their laurels. There’s a new app in town that does everything ShralpTide2 does and more (moon phases, weather, current location maps, awesome Apple Watch integration), and more effectively. I won’t name it - I’m not here to promote it, but to review ShralpTide2… which should have fixed issues and included more data long ago. Older review: ShralpTide was my go-to for heading out to the beach. Nice, tidy little app that did what it says. ShralpTide2 came out and… we'll, you can see my original review below. I don't know what the developer did behind the scenes since the first release, but this now meets and exceeds the previous edition. It's quick and responsive, the features work as you'd expect, the graphics are clean and attractive and they've improved the data on the front page. It's back to being my go-to for quick reference tide info! What's more - the developer read my previous review, made the needed fixes, and replied to me directly that they'd appreciate it if I took another look. I wouldn't have ever looked at again without that personal touch. Oldest review: Former title: Bugs & no default Nearby tide stations: it does a good job finding where you are and then identifying tide stations near you. You can't select them or even find out what they're called, but it it does display them on the map. Once you do set the station, it forgets it next time you open it. Those are core features. As a pair of broken features, they make this app worthless. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2017-10-14, version 3.0.5* Can I get a refund? What an absolute joke this is compared to the original ShralpTide. I just wasted $3 Where’s Canada in this? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Reverts to La Jolla/ scrips pier every time *2020-10-16, version 3.1.20* Used to work great. Now every time I reopen my saved spots are erased and The app reverts to the default La Jolla tides. ### 1/5 — Trash *2019-06-18, version 3.1.6* The app is pure trash. ### 1/5 — Derated app. *2019-05-05, version 3.1.4* I have the original app. that would show tides all over the west coast so when I saw your new app. I figured has to be better WRONG I SAY AGAIN WRONG your new ShralpTide2 sucks because it does not have all the little harbours that we service So just a heads up I would not pay a penny for this app let alone down load it SO PLEASE do the right thing and go back to the original app. So I can actually use it as I do on my old I pad Please and thanx ### 1/5 — Won't open *2019-01-19, version 3.1.4* ...and it's a paid app!!!! ### 1/5 — Crash not fixed *2018-12-20* Delete La Jolla and app crashes on start until deleted and reinstalled Saved locations go missing (Having poor network connectivity seems to be a factor) ### 1/5 — Fonctionne pas avec iPhone X *2018-06-12, version 3.0.8* App fonctionne pas elle elle n’ouvre pas elle arête tout suite ! ### 1/5 — Rip off *2018-05-26, version 3.0.8* Would have been nice to know that this app wasn’t available in Canada anymore. Now for the process of trying to get a rebate. Calculated move on this suppliers part. ### 1/5 — This Used To Be a Great App. Not anymore! *2018-05-15, version 3.0.8* I used the earlier version of this app for years. It was free. Easy to use. Loaded with locations and accurate information. Bought a new phone and had to buy the updated version only to discover they’ve omitted hundreds of locations and cluttered the visuals. What a shame. Don’t waste your money. Get the TideApp instead. **Update: the app will no longer open. Instantly crashes. ### 1/5 — What a disappointment *2018-04-24, version 3.0.8* The old app was great, plus free. So I decide to pay for this one and have lost all the readings on my area, BC, Canada. Don’t upgrade. So have a useless app I paid for! What are they thinking??? Actually have the old app on my phone and it works great and still has all my area data. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work in Australia *2017-12-30, version 3.0.5* I used the old (free) version for years but the new (paid) version doesn’t work down-under anymore :-( Please put this on your TODO list. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Perfect for surfers *2021-10-19* I use this app for surfing in Southern California. It’s the best tide app out there because when turn your phone sideways you can drag your finger to the exact time and tide along the curve. It works great and the developer will respond to your questions. Just updated ShralpTide 2. Everything seems to work fine. iPhone 11 running 14.7.1 ### 5/5 — Best tide app *2017-11-16* As a surfer, I think this is the best tide app out there. When I lost access to it when I upgraded my phone, it was a struggle not being able to use it. The landscape mode interactive graph is what makes it special. It makes it easy to find those target tide windows that make surf spots turn on and off, and know exactly when you want to be there. ### 5/5 — Great Apple Watch Complication *2017-09-23* This is the only app I’ve found that shows the current tide height in feet on the small Apple Watch complication. Awesome for boaters. The only thing that would make it even better is if the small Apple Watch complication had the current height and the time of the next tide as well. Still great. ### 5/5 — Elegant and visual *2017-04-22, version 3.0.3* Provides tidal Information just like you would want to see it – as table and with a rotation of the screen graphically. Highly intuitive. Update: Thanks for the fast response to my feedback and for bringing back the option to toggle between metric and imperial units! ### 5/5 — Buy this App! It's really good. *2012-09-30* I have been using the free version for years. It's easy to read interface is its strength. Portrait mode is powerful for visualizing the in between tidal states. At some surf spots a foot of tide can change the game! Pay it forward and buy the $.99 upgrade! ### 5/5 — FANTASTIC - great new feature *2012-08-11* Original app was great - used it for years. This update retains all original features plus: a) Many more local tide locations with better accuracy. Important for uneven coastline and islands etc. b) Not limited to projections just 5 days out. Can go 1 or even two weeks. c) Sunrise / sunset on graphic view is really helpful d) Current predictor e) Better, more visible color schemes Well worth the 99c ### 5/5 — Love the daylight display! *2012-03-25* I went to the developer's website to suggest they add day and night display to the original app. I found they have this 99 cent app that has this feature. Now I can plan when to run on the beach at low tide! You should advertise the new app on the basic app. Feature suggestion: I'd love to add low tide daylight times to my Calendar to plan beach runs. ### 4/5 — Awesome app. Needs updates *2021-10-15* Been using this app for years now. Love it! Thank you for putting it together. Unfortunately in the latest iOS 15.0.1 the ability to move the tide cursor when holding horizontally no longer works. Are there updates planned to fix this? ### 4/5 — Generally good, but has to be reloaded *2019-08-27* Love the app. After awhile, it will repeatedly crash on my iPhone. Easily fixed by a reinstall. ### 4/5 — Does work in Canada! *2019-06-14, version 3.1.6* I've enjoyed the simplicity and design of this app for years. Contrary to other reports, it does work in Canada, though not all locations are represented (someone else mentioned Gibsons). I like the precision of the (landscape orientation) wave visual, so I can find out what time the tide will be at a certain point ideal for swimming. It only shows tides for five days, but that's usually adequate for me. Recently I had a problem with it not working on my phone, but the app developer was very responsive and ultimately helped me solve the issue. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
