Took 1 minute to find 1st bug

Still buggy after rewrite. Select a date in future doesn't change data displayed. Now it activates a share link. Uninstalled again.

Response from developer

TideApp has been rebuilt from scratch. There are no ads in it at all now - the startup ad that blocked launches is gone, and so are the crashes around it. If you gave up on this years ago, it's worth another look. Sorry it took so long.

Please wake up and update your app

Use to work but now crashes all the time. Very unstable very frustrating.

This app is dead

Used to be good

I think programmers have abandoned it, because now it’s a joke!

Stopped working

No longer works. Have used this app for years and suddenly it stopped working.

Excellent

Phenomenal on timing slack tides for bar crossings

Startup ad

I have used this App since I had my first iPhone. I am now going to delete it because when I launch it I have to launch a ad in my browser. I really appreciated the app over the years. If you make a version I can buy and go ad free., I would.

Now terrible

Used to be a cool app. Now I can’t get past the opening ad

Basic

This used to be the best tide app for the simple feature of being able to scroll through the chart waveform to see what time the tide was exactly at any moment of the day. This was crucial for me to get my boat into our slip due to low tide. Now it is not available. Also you can no longer see a chart for a future date???? Why? Why did these simple stand out features end?? Please bring them back.

Hate the update

This used to be my favorite tide app but no longer. The current format is difficult to decipher, no longer allows you to easily see future forecasts and when it opens there are adds the fill the entire screen. I have deleted the app from my tablet.

Don't bother

This used to be a decent APP, not any more full screen Adds one after the other that you can't minimize or close. Total waste of money and time. I have uninstalled this App and will look for an honest software developer

No Costa Rica!

What kind of a TideApp would not include the country of Costa Rica?

Used to be great

This used to be an excellent and accurate app. Now all one gets is a screen to install a game, that you can't get around to see tides. This app just lost a customer.

Horrible!!!!!

The update ruined this app!!! I used to be able to scroll to see what the tide would be when I wanted to take my boat out. For some reason I can't even fathom, they deleted this very useful functionality. Let the market speak ... delete this app and get one of the many other and now-much-better apps out there.

Still Lost at Sea

I wrote a one star review three years ago about what was once my favorite boating app. I see that they brought back some functionality that they then delete. Thank you. You gained a star. However, the current version is still riddled with bugs (or is that crabs?). The main one is a blank colored screen or lock up when working working with favorites. The app needs to be forced quit to get it to work again. The tide waveform still does not allow the user to scroll the waveform to see the time at that point in the tide (I.e. mid tide), which was in an earlier version. A tide time offset would be a nice feature so I can get high and low dead on for each of my favorite locations. Keep programming.

Response from developer

Scrolling the waveform to read the tide at a point in time is back - that was the right call and it should never have gone. The favorites lock-up is gone too; the app was rebuilt from scratch rather than patched. The per-location time offset you describe is not built, but it is the single most useful request in this whole review list and it is on the list. Thanks for keeping at it.

It used to be great

The old version was great. Now you can not slide the line to find out what the tide is at any given time. Need to be able to find out when you can get the boat out. Please bring back this feature.

Good app; bad update

App used to be useful and easy to use. The daily tide chart was good.

But now: Full screen ad on opening fully blocking tide info. At worst, ad can't be closed without downloading something unrelated (like a casino app). Unacceptable. At best, ad has to be closed to see app. Behavior depends on ad that shows up.

Now: once very useful tide graph has been modified to be less useful. Now: cannot drag line on tide graph to see tide height at a particular time.

Old version was easier to use

New version doesn't list things in order of when they occur, and doesn't tell the next high or low tide. It's pretty useless now. :(

Where did my tides go????

After updates, screens don't move to reveal information previously available.

NOW USELESS!

Upgrade busted

The app does not get past an opening ad. Useless.

Unhappy with upgrade

Since the update, it is not possible to scroll down the graph to see times when there is going to be enough water to plan activities. Having info only on a current tide and high and low is not sufficient for planning purposes. Old version was great!
