### 2/5 — Always wrong

*2023-07-19*

I have this app on both my phone and iPad. They are identical. The app on my phone is often incorrect. For example, my iPad will show a zero tide at the same time that my phone shows 4 1/2. I have deleted the app on my phone several times and reinstalled, and it will show the correct tide for a few days and then it’s off again. If anyone can tell me how to correct this, I would appreciate it. I took a screenshot of both the iPad and the phone today and everything is the same the date the time, but the graphs are way different.

### 5/5 — Favorite tide app!

*2022-03-21*

This app is easy to learn. I also love the “details” tab which details sunrise and set, as well as moonrise and set, and when the moon is full.

### 5/5 — Easy and very handy

*2022-03-09*

I love the instant tide information and use it daily….

### 5/5 — Awesome!!!

*2022-02-20, version 6.4*

I’ve used this app for several years now. 
For $0.99 per year, it’s the best tide map on the market. Easy to use and set up. Information is accurate and the graphic display is easy to understand. I highly recommend this app!

### 5/5 — Use it daily

*2022-01-09*

Easy to read. I use it daily as I live on a tidal inlet and the tides impacts a lot of what I do. Love the graphics.

### 5/5 — Good data

*2021-06-04, version 6.4*

Super graphics!

### 5/5 — I use TG

*2021-04-22*

I use Tide Graph all the time.  I am a life long sailor and teach and mentor would be/beginners.  I urge the to use TG for tide and current predictions.

### 5/5 — Gives a true context two times and tides

*2021-04-08, version 6.1*

A visual is worth 1000 words. In the slider feature can calculate the tide at any time of day. Super easy to use.

### 5/5 — 5 Star App & Support

*2021-02-28*

I use this on my Apple Watch & phone for when I surf and lifeguard in Florida USA

Had an self inflicted issue and support was fast to troubleshot resolve 

Thank you

### 5/5 — Excellent tide app!

*2021-02-07*

Really convenient to use, and also has sunrise, sunset, etc. details.  Also works when not connected, this is an important feature.

### 5/5 — Great Tool

*2019-01-12*

I have been using this app for many years.
It’s convenient and easy to see graphical depiction of what the tide level is and what it is going to be any time during the day.

I surf everyday and this app is a real help in deciding where and when to go surf at the tide dependent areas near me.

### 5/5 — Flyfisherman

*2019-01-08, version 4.7*

Excellant charts . Intuitive operation. 
Easily read at a glance. Perfect for fishing.

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2019-01-01, version 4.7*

I’m a liveboard and tides are a daily consideration.   Tide Graph does it all!  And the price is right!

### 4/5 — Missing one feature

*2018-12-17*

Love this app. Ive enjoyed it for years. I take advantage of the low tide feature for metal detecting at the beach. 
Could be better if it offered a complication on the iWatch.

### 3/5 — Map of locations disappears

*2018-09-21*

The map of the tide stations disappears when the cellular service is out of range. I used the app to travel by boat from the South Puget Sound to the San Juan Islands and when the cellular service was out of range, I would have to guess which tidal station to select.

### 1/5 — Search

*2023-09-03, version 6.4*

How do I get sumba

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2023-07-29*

I don’t understand. I have this app on both my iPhone and my iPad. My iPad is accurate. My phone  will show a 5.6 tide when it’s a negative tide. I have deleted numerous times and downloaded again. Makes no difference. I have written a review no response. I have tried to contact support no response. They both have the same exact settings. I have checked it. I have others check it and everything is the same yet. my phone is always off showing the wrong tide.

### 1/5 — No CAnada tide charts

*2022-08-19, version 6.4*

Why do we have tide charts for the Caribbean and not for Canada Northwest close to Washington you’ll USA?

### 1/5 — Tide times apparently incorrect

*2021-08-22, version 6.4*

The flood and ebb tide times for my location are  about 4 hours earlier those found on the NOAA site.

### 1/5 — Network Error scam

*2018-07-15*

Nice app. Worked well for years. Now that have implemented a pop up that claims there is a network arrow and offers a “solution” at your cost.   A tide calculator that works in absence of an internet connection.  I don’t need the upgrade. Stop lying that that the app is having network problems in an effort to get me to “upgrade”.  Booooo! Awful tactic.

### 1/5 — Used to be OK...

*2017-05-26, version 4.7*

... now it's a POS.

I used the app for years. Free and did the job in a bare bones way. Suddenly they want an annual fee. This seems to be a growing a trend. I'm not buying it, there are better free apps still out there. Skip this greedware and move on.

### 1/5 — Does not update

*2017-01-08, version 4.4*

Does not update to Apple Watch. Displays High Tide when its Low Tide. The app on the iPhone once opened does not update. It stays on the old time.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2015-07-27, version 3.7*

I conduct research along the Georgia/Florida coastlines, so I downloaded this app, and the tides are off....way off, by a couple hours sometimes. It is crucial to hit the ebb and flow tides just right for certain jobs and this is not the app to help you

### 1/5 — It only works in the US

*2010-02-20, version 0*

I was very excited to use this app while diving in Thailand. Unfortunately after I bought and installed it I found that it only works in the US. Note to the creator of this app. After searching I found that it is stated on the second page of the iTunes store that it only works for the US. I and perhaps others would benefit if you put this information in a more conspicuous place. I am most disappointed because it looks like a great app that you have put quite a bit of thought and energy. I really wish I could use it.

### 1/5 — 綺麗で解りやすいけど...

*2009-06-03*

米国内にしか対応していません。残念！

### 5/5 — My go to tide chart!

*2026-06-05*

My go-to tide chart for every trip!

As someone who spends a ton of time on the water chasing fish all over Florida, Tide Graph has become one of the most important apps on my phone. Whether I’m fishing Boca Grande, Tampa Bay, the flats, the beaches, or backcountry waters, I rely on it every single day.

The app is simple, accurate, and incredibly easy to use. I can quickly see exactly what the tide is doing, when it’s changing, and plan my fishing around those key feeding windows. Being able to check conditions in different locations across the Florida coast has saved me countless hours and helped put more fish in the boat.

At TJT Outdoors, understanding tides is a huge part of what we do, and Tide Graph has become our go-to tool for planning trips, scouting locations, and making on-the-water decisions. It’s one of those apps I don’t even think about anymore—it’s simply part of my daily routine.

If you fish, boat, kayak, or spend any time on coastal waters, this app is a must-have. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

### 5/5 — Nice graphic

*2026-05-28, version 6.8*

Works well. Download the charts for 99¢

### 5/5 — Been using this app for years

*2025-11-12*

This is one of the most used apps on my phone.. NH ramps are all tide dependent.. The best for tides

### 5/5 — Visualizes the tides for you!

*2024-10-27*

A visual is worth 1000 words. In the slider feature can calculate the tide at any time of day. Super easy to use.

### 5/5 — Tide Graph

*2024-08-24*

Always accurate. Easy to access. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Reliable app for many locations

*2024-07-07*

Many people don’t realize that tides can be different, even at nearby locations. For example, in San Francisco Bay, the tides can be delayed or advanced from those on the coast because of the time it takes for the water to flow in and out of the 1600 square mile estuary. This app has always provided accurate Tide data for each of the stations. I pay attention to, on the coast, inside Monterey Bay, and inside San Francisco Bay.

### 5/5 — Great App- definitely worth $0.99

*2024-02-25*

I have bought this for $0.99 for the past several years. It’s one of the few apps that I’m willing to shell out money for. I’m a boater and live in South Florida and knowing the tides around here is important. 
It’s a great app, easy to use and displays the information is several different formats. 
I am pleased with it and will continue to buy it every year.

### 5/5 — Gotta have it.

*2023-10-21*

When I fish off the Oregon coast, knowing tides is important… It impacts my fishing, when I can cross the bar, and when does stay home. I paid the nominal fee for the premium so that I can plan my fishing trip to weeks or even months in advance.

### 5/5 — New review

*2023-08-02*

I don’t see a way to update a review or change it or delete it. I had an issue, couldn’t solve it, wrote a crummy review in frustration. I finally contacted them and after many emails back and forth we were able to resolve the issue, which was “user issue” not the app. So 5 stars for a great app and 5 stars for customer service and if there’s a way to delete it let me know.

### 5/5 — Won’t upgrade

*2023-04-13*

Have used this app for a few years s now but there is no way to use in new iPhone. 14. It would not accept my restore option and does not upgrade either. Too bad. Was good now not so much.
