### 5/5 — Perfect for timing my sea swim

*2016-12-18*

I've started cold water swimming for anxiety and this intuitive app helps me schedule my day. If I go at high tide I get dashed on the rocks. If I go at low, I flounder like a paralysed seal and run the risk of a rip current that lurks beyond the low tide line. 

This app keeps me sane and alive.

### 5/5 — Tried all the rest but this delivers best fastest

*2015-08-05*

Downloaded them all but this app just tells me what I need to know fast without having to do anything like setup locations etc.. It tells me the tide times fast where ever I am.   Could do with gui makeover to be a perfect app.

### 5/5 — Great app, easy to use

*2015-01-30*

I lost count of how many tide apps I DL'd then deleted before buying this one.

Charts tide heights at many UK ports, the visual representation of ebb and flow instead of simply high/low times is useful for calculating e.g peak flow times.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2014-08-22*

Great app, tide times for my location on the north Kent Coast always seem spot on and the layout is very intuitive.
My only criticism is that since the last update, some of the colours on the display make bits of it hard to read, the days in particular.
It would be nice if the colours were configurable, or at least chosen to provide a better contrast.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2014-03-16*

As the captain of a ferry I have a in-depth understanding of tides in the Solent, after reading some of the bad revues of this app I have checked the data against admiralty website, easy tide, if any one thinks that 2ports just a few miles apart should have nearly the same hight tide just check out the difference between Stansore point and Cows just 2miles apart and a 10 min difference yet Southampton and Cows that are 10 miles apart and 1min difference, regional variations can make a vast difference to tide times, this is a great app if you won't to check tide times, although this app is no substitute for a good tide chart and the knowledge to use it

### 4/5 — Better value than a tide table

*2013-07-05*

At 69p this is far better value than a tide table. It would be great if there was a way to adjust the scale (or it was automatic) so that there is more detail on somewhere with only a small tidal range.

### 3/5 — Updated review

*2013-06-03*

ok so I originally reviewed in what seems to have been part way through an update we now have day menu and more realistic tide times. It could still do with dates added and times physically placed on the graph also a slide of the finger to move the graph on would be a huge plus thus showing what's happening between tides otherwise its now basic but ok.

### 1/5 — Poor

*2013-04-29*

This is not useful. It works only occasionally. 
There would appear to be no way to change to a 24 hour clock. From location to location the top tide listed for each location seems to be random. For instance, some locations along the Thames show the high tide as the top reading, then one will show low tide as the top reading. This might be overlooked if the graph showed 24 hours or if it showed preceding and following days. It does neither of these things.

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2013-04-07*

This worked fine and accurately for a time but then got totally out of sync with the actual tide times and had to be resolved by downloading an update although it gave no indication that that was required. Also would have been helpful if (1) display showed date and (2) clear whether adjusted for GMT/BST.

### 4/5 — It's a good app

*2013-01-31*

It's a good app, it does what it says on the tin. 

Just one word "landscape", it doesn't like running in landscape mode. It needs to move things around a bit when using your iDevice in landscape mode, or either lock it into a portrait only app. 

Apart from that, I'd highly recommend it and give it the 5th star.
