Ok for quick tide check only

I couldnt figure out how the sun rise time, moon etc worked - theres no legend or explanation. The developer link doesnt work, and nothing to be found on the web.Seems to be an orphan app. Better apps are available.

Simple diagrammatic display

This app is almost perfect for what it does very simply. I use it almost daily

Very disappointing

Unable to change location. Not what I was expecting. Waste of money

Ok

A vast improvement would be the ability to save favourite ports in the Menu list.
