### 1/5 — Doesn't give anything other than the tides.

*2019-07-29, version 1.0*

Not any affiliation to the tides for fishing website save your money. Worthless app wish I could get a refund

### 1/5 — Provides information on tides

*2019-07-28, version 1.0*

This APP does provide the tide information on a map and that is really it. For me it was over priced, I was looking for an App with the tide information, map, moon phases, recommended fishing times/dates and this falls far short. It’s expensive for what’s provided.

**Developer response:** The app clearly states it's functionality with it's main function being LIVE tide predictions from NOAA. Tapping a tide station does bring in weather including radar.  The app is used by anglers and tournement fisherman to base decisions on where/when to fish.

### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY THIS APP

*2019-07-28, version 1.0*

The information the developer presents in the App Store is incredibly misleading. This should be removed. 

First look at all the fake five star reviews and how many times they use over the top language to describe how “great” this app is. Trust me don’t waste your $10. 

The “satellite” map is just google maps that’s so poorly integrated that you can’t even scroll it properly. So the app lets you use two fingers to scroll around until you find the closest tide station and then it gives you a few days of tide data at that location. That’s it. That’s not worth $10, it’s free on plenty of websites and free apps. 

There is nothing else to the app except the tab where they try to sell you other apps and third party marketing. Don’t waste your money. 

Kudos to the developer for scamming me out of my ten bucks. Don’t be like me. Save your money. 

Worst app ever. Literally. The worst app I have ever downloaded. Should either be removed from the App Store or should correct the description and preview to explain what this really is.

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2019-07-16, version 1.0*

Okay for backwater but of little value offshore.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2019-07-11, version 1.0*

It is difficult to use. It doesn't update quickly when searching. It takes me about 3 minutes to look at one spot.  This was written by beginners. A total waste of $10  Makes me angry

**Developer response:** Actually we've been writing apps since 2011 and have over 40 titles in the App Store.  It sounds like you are having trouble.  Reach out to support and I'm sure we can help you.

### 1/5 — Terrible app.

*2019-06-12, version 1.0*

Terrible app.  Wish it was like tides4fishing not TidesForFishing.

### 1/5 — Total Crap

*2019-06-04, version 1.0*

Website is awesome. This app is google maps with tide info, that’s it. I asked for my money back 5 minutes after I downloaded it. We’ll see what happens.

### 1/5 — Do not purchase

*2019-05-30, version 1.0*

Tide chart and google satellite images ONLY. Don’t waste your $.

### 1/5 — Total Crap

*2019-05-23, version 1.0*

Website is way better, thought I would get the same info. Totally useless!!

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2019-02-16, version 1.0*

Maybe I don’t understand the app, but all I get is a numeric tide chart. I was expecting something similar to the tides4fish website No solar lunar chart no graphical tide chart. No Co-efficient of the tide. Except for a nice google satellite image. I’m not sure why I spent 10 dollars

### 1/5 — Run away!!!

*2018-12-20, version 1.0*

Absolutely nothing like the website. I couldn’t even get a chart to load. Just stick to the website on your mobile device. DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!

### 1/5 — Terrible App - Don’t waste your $

*2018-11-26, version 1.0*

I purchased this app after someone told me about their website, which is free and as you imagine - loaded with ads. The screenshots show what looks like a nice app with a great UI. After spending $8, I quickly realized after only minutes this app was horrible and appears designed by beginner coders. Don’t buy into the reviews, they appear fake.

### 1/5 — Not easy to use, app is glitchy & unhelpful.

*2021-03-25, version 1.0*

Can't believe I spent $ on this.

### 1/5 — Rip off

*2020-08-16, version 1.0*

Don’t buy.  Doesn’t work.  Needs to be removed

### 1/5 — Not worth the price

*2020-07-11, version 1.0*

You can get a free app that will show the same tide info.   They are just repeating the NOAA info that’s free.

### 1/5 — Tides for fishing is a worthless app

*2020-02-17, version 1.0*

Gives no information, opens a google map view and nothing more. 

The suggestion part of the opens, but won’t send. 

And the only thing that seems to work is it’s ad tab for other apps. 

Not happy. Zero star rating

### 1/5 — Trash

*2019-12-15, version 1.0*

Do not buy

### 1/5 — Horrible App!  Totally useless

*2019-12-04, version 1.0*

Do not waste your money on this app. Their website is great but the app doesn’t work and you cannot get any tech support.

### 1/5 — JimmyG

*2019-10-13, version 1.0*

Bought this for $9.95 and it does not load any tide info for Port O’Connor nor East Breaks in GOM.  Not is does not even load...  not worth the $$$$$$ P.o.S.  And when you try to use their in app feedback it hangs!  Scam and would not recommend it to anyone!

### 1/5 — Shimano Fisher

*2019-09-26, version 1.0*

Don’t purchase this app! It’s very misleading, over priced and most importantly, it’s crap. This app doesn’t do anything. Once you open the app , it does nothing after that, no tides, no charts, nothing. Scammers just wanting your money! Stay away from this app.

### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY

*2019-09-14, version 1.0*

This app is a google maps clone that doesn’t work most of the time.  The company obviously paid for a bunch of five star reviews.  The app is useless and apple will not refund your money.

### 1/5 — Not much to see here folks

*2019-08-31, version 1.0*

Horrible user interface and difficult navigation very little useful fishing specific information beyond the tide and whether pretty weak. I want my 10 bucks back

This is the most accurate tide app I've found.  I'm a fishing guide and use the app to plan where to fish with the incoming or outgoing tides.  I like the weather reports built right in too.
