Living in a hurricane region, monitoring surge water levels is extremely important to weathering the storm!

Excellent App

Way Better than my previous App. The display is clean, provides instant information automatically knows which is your closest tide station. Really good!

D*mn Near Perfect!

This app is really great. Nothing extra distracting or cluttering the information. It’s so simple and utilitarian for those of us working mariners who just need it simple and effortless. It’s also a great looking app! Well done! 👏🏼👏🏼

Leaps and bounds better

This app has been far better than other tides applications that I have tested. The developer is great at making improvements based on valid feedback which is refreshing!

Love the Watch complication

I can use this when I am in my canoe at a glance.
