When I click on the saved locations button it goes straight to an ad for no more ads and I can’t go back. I have to exit the app and open it again. ### 1/5 — Up the shoot *2022-11-11, version 2.0.4* Be really good if the tide times predicted were actually on time they ate so far out it’s scary ### 1/5 — Good site only 1 problem. *2022-08-10, version 2.0.4* Paid for no advertising on the site , particular adverts pop up and I can’t clear them, as a result I have to look elsewhere, which is frustrating ### 3/5 — adverts *2022-07-16, version 2.0.4* I don’t mind adverts to allow the app to be used for free but the FXCM marketing app freezes all the time and is impossible to use the app. ### 1/5 — Glitches galore *2022-05-29, version 2.0.4* Too many ads, which will cause your phone to hang, in the meantime not giving you the tide times Better buy tide tables and support your local tackle store! ### 2/5 — Keeps crashing *2022-02-05, version 2.0.4* I understand if you don’t want to pay you have to watch adverts, but when you can’t get off the advert it’s a bit of a pain. Luckily there is plenty of tide apps. ### 1/5 — Avoid …. Was good, but lost it. *2021-06-26, version 2.0.4* The App used to be good. But there is a key item it does not support …. If you select a location … it should remember it …. Maybe as simple as remembering last selected …. It doesn’t so means lots of unnecessary selection each time. Secondly …. and CRUCIAL this is now full of stupid adds & games. Can’t take it anymore - goi g to remove it. Good App spoilt. ### 1/5 — Adverts stuck *2021-06-03, version 2.0.4* Was good but then wouldn’t get past the advert is it a tactic to make you go ad free? ### 1/5 — Adverts *2021-03-27, version 2.0.4* I can’t get to the tide times as the advert x-button doesn’t work. Even if I click the advert itself, I don’t get to the tide times when I go back to the app. Need to delete as I have not been able to get past this advert for months. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Was good… but went bad *2026-06-24* This was a great app circa 2020 till 2023 ish. But I assume the builder lost funding or focus and now it’s never updated whether that’s local details or security fixes to keep it live on the App Store. I know how hard it is to keep an app going, so no shade. But the builder should remove this one as it is now very out of date and functionality not working. ### 1/5 — Adverts *2026-04-06, version 2.0.4* The adverts are really annoying. I now go to free sites like BBC who do not have adverts. ### 1/5 — Just adverts no tide times *2025-08-27, version 2.0.4* Terrible but what did I expect for free. ### 1/5 — Paid for app twice to go ad free,.And still get Ads !!!!! *2025-08-11, version 2.0.4* To be fair , I’d paid for it 2 years ago, it was fine and then stopped, and I paid for it last week again, and have ads ever since 🤷‍♂️ ### 1/5 — Blinking app!!! *2025-05-12, version 2.0.4* App keeps crashing and showing tide times at 0.00!! Very frustrating when you depend on it ### 1/5 — Bloody adverts *2025-05-11, version 2.0.4* Bloody adverts ### 1/5 — Woeful *2024-10-26, version 2.0.4* Was a decent app with useful info but now taken over by senseless stupid games so stick it where the sun don’t shine ### 1/5 — Useless *2023-08-26, version 2.0.4* Deleted within minutes of downloading full of glitches ### 1/5 — Annoying adverts *2023-07-25, version 2.0.4* Advertising to loon and you can’t close the advertising window so frustrating I’m deleting the app now. all I wanted to know was the tide time never actually got to see it wasted five minutes out of my life when I can find this information online without the bombardment of advertisement. ### 1/5 — Could be better *2023-04-02, version 2.0.4* I’ve paid the very reasonable price to upgrade to advert free, but m still getting adverts. Also, I can’t find if the time are GMT or BST ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Comes in and out *2025-10-21* Always reliable, people visiting the Isle of Wight should always check, as we have two tides in 24hrs ### 5/5 — Tide times Folkestone *2024-10-17, version 2.0.4* Spot on , thanks very much ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2024-06-15, version 2.0.4* So east to use where ever you are like the format of high tide times. Excellent web site ### 5/5 — Tide news *2023-02-06, version 2.0.4* Tide times assists to ger a preview of next vessel berthing & sailing. Thanks ### 5/5 — This app is really good for tides all round British isles *2021-06-20, version 2.0.4* I find very helpful being a sea angler ### 5/5 — Great app *2021-06-04, version 2.0.4* Very useful oh for my fishing ### 5/5 — Tide times *2021-05-15, version 2.0.4* Great app, thanks. My therapy dog loves sprinting along the sand when the tides out and having a loon out. App has been invaluable for timing her walks 🐾🐾 ### 5/5 — Cracking app *2021-04-06* This is a great little tidal app with the location enabled I can check both the low and high tides near me before heading out along the coast, definitely a 5 star 💫 and free 👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Good app but could be better *2021-03-01* This is a very useful app for me as we use it to time our walks to local coastal beauty spots. However as we always walk within the same tidal area, a favourites button would be really useful. ### 5/5 — Ok well informed *2021-01-16, version 2.0.3* Bro useful --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
