### 2/5 — Ok for quick tide check only

*2023-05-07, version 2.0.0*

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.

### 4/5 — Tides Au’s

*2020-09-25, version 2.0.0*

Easy to use, some minor ports would be great

### 4/5 — Simple diagrammatic display

*2020-02-07, version 2.0.0*

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

### 1/5 — Very disappointing

*2019-10-29, version 2.0.0*

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

### 3/5 — Ok

*2018-05-11, version 2.0.0*

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

### 4/5 — Cumagutsa.

*2017-10-01, version 2.0.0*

Brilliant!

### 4/5 — Cool

*2017-06-09, version 2.0.0*

Very efective

### 4/5 — Simple but good

*2017-04-19, version 2.0.0*

This is a very simple app, but one good thing about it is to see tides and moon phases well into the future, which some other similar apps lack. I like to plan my fishing trips well in advance, so to me this is a good feature.

### 1/5 — Simply wrong

*2017-02-11, version 2.0.0*

Sydney tides are plain wrong for each point available to select.  Times and height are out.

### 5/5 — Useful and easy.

*2016-11-25*

App also comes with handy widget. would download again.
