### 3/5 — Basic

*2018-06-11, version 5.1*

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.

### 2/5 — Still Lost at Sea

*2017-05-27, version 5.1*

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.

### 2/5 — Good app; bad update

*2017-05-23, version 5.1*

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.

### 1/5 — Old version was easier to use

*2017-05-14, version 5.1*

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.  :(

### 1/5 — Where did my tides go????

*2017-05-13, version 5.1*

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

NOW USELESS!

### 1/5 — Upgrade busted

*2017-04-24, version 5.1*

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

### 1/5 — Unhappy with upgrade

*2017-04-23, version 5.1*

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!

### 1/5 — Not consistent

*2017-04-21, version 5.1*

Have added advertisements and now it does not load.

### 2/5 — WAS great, bad update

*2017-04-21, version 5.1*

Still prefer the old version. The past two updates killed the good app

### 1/5 — Not for iPad mini

*2017-03-20, version 5.0*

Terrible update. Prior version opened in an ad that could not be closed. 

Now we have an interface by someone who never needs tide information. We have no way of seeing data for any day other than the current day. There is a calendar. I don't know what it's supposed to do. Changing a date does nothing to show data for any date other than current. That's great. Here I am needing to see tide data at a particularly dicey area 2 days from now. Nope, all I get is the current day. 

So for those of you that are inclined to pay to get rid of an egregious number of ads, the apps not worth it.

### 3/5 — User

*2014-04-21, version 4.1.2*

Update
I thought the previous app was great
I wish all the features it had be brought into this "improved" one, especially the chart over 36 or more hours with the x for the present time
I went and found an app similar to the previous one to this. Very happy to have found a more practical one.
And discarded this one !

### 3/5 — Was great

*2013-12-07, version 3.3*

This has more places to get a tide from than any other app I've seen. Has worked great but some minor problems with pulling up certain dates. I use this app year round for fishing and hunting. It hasn't been updated since 2010 which is where the problem lies. If it was updated this app would be the best tide app hands down! Not sure why it hasn't been updated but I'm hoping it does soon because I can't find another app like it.

### 3/5 — Good app, good features. Some bugs

*2013-06-24, version 3.3*

I like this app. I can easily find the tides at my local areas where I boat and being able to check on a particular day in the future is a great feature! However, there is a small annoyance in that the tide side that comes up at launch always crashes the program when I try to select "chart". If I re select this site from my favorite list there is no problem. Odd. 

Otherwise, extremely usefull!

### 2/5 — It stopped working

*2012-12-22, version 3.3*

I originally loved it.  Told others to get it.   Ive got an iPhone 4

About a month ago the graph part of the application quit, immediately closing the app.  Today, when I need it, a banner survey came up about phones. I finally gave up and did the survey.  Now I've got a white banner and a black screen. 

I use this app to figure out where I can park my car because our parking lot floods above a 6' tide.  With wind and rain, it's decision making time.  I'll probably delete it.  I'm really bummed out, because it was so useful before. The ads are killing it.

### 4/5 — Good free app

*2012-05-02, version 3.3*

I tried two other free apps both with problems. So far this one is good. I can change the date to plan future trips and make favorite stations. It also includes moon and sun rise and set times. I would like to see future versions include  an option to offset the time for a specific location. And add a moonphase percentage to the moon rise.

### 4/5 — Minus Tides

*2010-06-03, version 0*

I've been using this app almost a year and it works well since the update.

I have one feature request though.  I razor clam on minus tides.  It would be cool, in the chart mode, if there was a black (or red) line across the entire chart at the 0 ft mark so a minus tide can be recognized no matter what part of the chart you're on.  As it is now I must scroll all the way to the left margin.  This would make the app much more useful.

Thanks for this valuable app.

### 1/5 — This app is dead

*2023-09-22*

Used to be good

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

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2023-09-13*

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

### 1/5 — Startup ad

*2019-12-16, version 5.1*

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.

### 1/5 — Now terrible

*2019-05-22, version 5.1*

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

### 1/5 — Hate the update

*2017-08-04, version 5.1*

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.

### 1/5 — Don't bother

*2017-07-20, version 5.1*

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

### 1/5 — No Costa Rica!

*2017-07-18, version 5.1*

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

### 1/5 — Used to be great

*2017-06-11, version 5.1*

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.

### 1/5 — Horrible!!!!!

*2017-06-04, version 5.1*

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.

### 1/5 — It used to be great

*2017-05-25, version 5.1*

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.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2020-06-17, version 5.1*

Phenomenal on timing slack tides for bar crossings

### 5/5 — Updated version works great!

*2014-11-30, version 4.1.3*

I've had this app in my phone for ages, but had stopped using it because it became out of date and crashed frequently. The developer has updated it with a fresh new look and functionality that looks great in iOS 8. Thanks so much for updating.

### 5/5 — None

*2012-10-02, version 3.3*

Dates back on track. Could have been end of "30 day" vs "31 day" month temporary glitch. That said, we have used this app throughout widespread travels and lots of boating and fishing, in and out of US. Have found it very useful and pretty accurate. Nevertheless, not upgrading to ios6 until I see better reviews on how it works with this and other apps.

### 5/5 — lovin' it

*2010-05-29, version 0*

Yes, the previous version of this software had a couple bugs.  But, since the update, I LOVE THIS APP.  Its one of the only apps that is capable of giving me tide info of some of the freshwater estuaries and tide affected rivers in my area. And it does it for free!  This is one of the first apps I suggest to friends that spend time on the water.

### 5/5 — This app rocks!!

*2009-11-08, version 0*

I depend on this app everyday.  I am a tournament fisherman and need to know when to get off a flat.  Ten  minutes can make the difference between winning a tournament and sitting on dry land waiting for the tide to come in.  I haven't had any of the problems that some have had.  I hope this helps.

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2009-07-18, version 0*

This app has been a godsend for me. We live on the water and so far this is pretty accurate. My husband had another app on his phone, which is not as accurate and no charts. He saw mine and then went and downloaded this one and deleted the old one. It has never crashed for me and seems totally accurate. Excellent product! Thanks!!

### 5/5 — All Is Forgiven!!!

*2009-06-12, version 0*

Thank you for not giving up on us. We were all a bit rough with this developer the last few months, myself included. Nice to be back up and running in time for the season.

### 5/5 — 5 stars pending

*2009-04-19, version 0*

I loved this app. Until it totally failed. Please fix. I've got five captains who depend on it. And I've lost braggin' rights on the beach with all my fellow surf fishermen. Sooner would be better. I'm still giving you five stars because it is a great program. Just undo the upgrade and give me back that old version.

### 5/5 — Awesome app for spearfishing

*2008-11-20, version 0*

Great app for judging tides when beach diving and spearfishing. The app works great. What I don't understand is the people who give the app a bad review becuase it doesn't work on their device. Have you ever stopped to think it may be your device and what's worse is that it's free? Just delete it and move on with your technically challenged self... DOH!!!!

### 5/5 — Love new icon :)

*2008-10-28, version 0*

I used to hide it on the last screen, but now I can upgrade it a few levels.

I live in Miami Beach, and high tides can sometimes mean flooded streets; especially combined with heavy rain! Now I can plan to be in the club, cozy, with a drink while I wait for the tides. =D
