I only use one beach, so it not convenient for going directly to my tide chart. ### 3/5 — Clean. Concise. No offline mode. *2024-07-02* No Ads version. App is clean and concise and I’ve had / used it for years, but it does NOT work at all when offline / out of cell range. It’s not like tides are weather and will randomly change or moon / sun will change when they set or rise, so it’s kinda crazy that at least for your “favorite” locations it doesn’t just save a week or a month’s worth of data when you open the app or at least have a “offline download” button for your favorites. So, great if you’re at home and want to see if you and the dog can hit the tidal flats. Not so great if you’ve been out in the back waters for a week and want to know when the next tide change is or check low tide ranges for anchoring purposes. ### 4/5 — Bit more scope *2022-12-11, version 3.4.5* 5 * if previous tide height shown with last time of LW HW otherwise VG ### 5/5 — Currents and tides. What an idea. *2022-09-17* I have used multiple tide apps for trip planning daily. Also Ports and Passages. The missing link has been currents. Although currents are not covered everywhere, I can leverage. It would be nice if you all expanded. This app works as well in Canada as the US. Still a 5 star App. ### 5/5 — Cap’n Barto *2022-05-18, version 3.3.3* Absolutely wonderful and Indispensable!! Cannot comfortably enjoy my vessel without!! ### 5/5 — Brilliant app *2022-01-10, version 3.3.3* I don't live on the coast, but it's always useful to know the tides before going to the beach or when going on holiday, especially as I'm blind and can't see what way the tide's going, so thanks for making the app VoiceOver accessible. There's one bit of confusion you might want to fix though. When you click on Great Yarmouth you get Yarmouth in the Isle of White. Might it be a good idea to call the section where Yarmouth is Isle of white or Yarmouth so as to not cause confusion with the Borough of Great Yarmouth section, that would suit everyone and stop all confusion. ### 5/5 — It's fixed! Great App :) *2021-12-04, version 3.3.3* Asides from a few days recently when there was an error (now fixed), I find this app really helpful for getting tide data ### 5/5 — Doesn’t work *2021-12-02, version 3.3.3* This app doesn’t work. Don’t use it or buy it. ### 5/5 — David Wilson *2021-09-22, version 3.3.3* I have always enjoyed using the tide program but not happy that you have taken off the Isle of Man Regards David ### 2/5 — Accurate but only for 7 days *2021-06-11, version 3.3.3* The app seems to be accurate but is frustrating that I can only see the tides for the next seven days. Difficult to plan ahead so seems like a return to the paper tide charts ### 5/5 — Tides near me is great *2020-12-22* I check it every day I go to the beach. It is very reliable. Of course it requires WiFi so be sure and do it before you go. ### 5/5 — Great for My Area *2020-07-17* I live within seven miles of one of the sites on TNM. We can drive in the shores and know sunset times and times of low and high. My wife and I have thoroughly enjoyed sunsets at exact times and walking channels for seafood in the mornings. Just right for me. ### 5/5 — Great product!!! *2020-05-07, version 3.3.2* Whether fishing or walking on the beach, this app is essential. ### 5/5 — Dogs just got to have fun *2020-01-05, version 3.2.4* The dogs love a beach walk but our favourite beach doesn’t exist at high tide! ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-08-09* I frequently go to the beach, daily in fact, and I find the tide info very handy. I no longer have to print monthly tide charts. ### 5/5 — Slick and no in app purchases *2019-06-28, version 3.2.4* Does what it says and is steadily updated for the latest screen sizes etc. Very good!! ### 5/5 — I like it *2019-06-21, version 3.2.2* Easy to use; gives all the information needed (tides, sunrise and sunset, moonrise and sunset, map locations) in a simple, well organized way. The only other thing I would like it to have is an app for the watch... ### 5/5 — Mr *2019-04-18, version 3.2.2* Great app and works well. A small point; if you tap Great Yarmouth you get Yarmouth Isle Of Wight. Yarmouth per se is not listed. Great Yarmouth is actually and confusingly listed as Borough of Great Yarmouth. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2022-01-01, version 3.3.3* I paid to get an advert free version, well in fairness there are no adverts, but alas there are no tide tables either. The email l sent did not receive a reply or even an acknowledgment ### 1/5 — Connection error *2021-12-05, version 3.3.3* What happened to the app? Did it crash? It just says “connection error” all the time. Fix it please!! ### 1/5 — RUBBISH RUBBISH RUBBISH *2018-08-25, version 2.1.0* Purchased and never worked, would like a refund but I’m thinking that’s being hopeful, shuts down as soon as you select location, read reviews First, would be my advise, RUBBISH ### 1/5 — Don't waste your money *2018-07-16, version 2.1.0* Same as the free one. And, you can't look more than a week ahead- semi-useless. Used to be you could. ### 1/5 — Tides NEAR ME lol *2016-09-19, version 2.1.0* They missed the NEAR ME part when they wrote this! Never anything near lol. ### 1/5 — No longer works, hasn't for some time! *2016-02-13, version 2.1.0* Originally a good app. Now useless, despite several updates, crashes on opening every time. iPhone and iPad all using the latest firmware. ### 1/5 — Used to be Good *2016-01-12, version 2.1.0* This app worked fine for a while and was very useful. Now it crashes on opening, every time, and has become totally useless. Wish I hadn't paid for the full app now. Come on developers get it fixed please. ### 1/5 — Does not work!!! *2015-10-30, version 2.0.12* The app took an age to load. When running it stays on "Tides Near Me: By Country" and does not identify the country nor does it allow me to enter a country or a location. This app is of no use at all. My advice is to buy an alternative. ### 1/5 — It crashes every time *2015-07-18, version 2.0.9* It crashes every single time I tap on a location. It never worked for me. Nor the free of payed version works!!! It works for my friends but not for me. It's a gamble. Don't buy it lol ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing *2015-06-07, version 2.0.6* Won't run on either my iPhone 4S or iPad 3 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2026-01-08, version 3.4.13* I use this to check the tide levels for when I take my dogs out to play in the water. Very accurate! ### 5/5 — Nice site *2025-05-18, version 3.4.13* Great site ### 5/5 — Finally a tide app that has it all *2024-08-14, version 3.4.13* I love this app and have deleted all my other inferior tide apps. ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-01-30* This app is really easy to use and you can instantly see what the tide is going to be. ### 5/5 — User friendly *2023-12-19* This app is very easy to use is quite accurate and joy using it each day. It very helpful in scheduling my days for photography. ### 5/5 — Terrific informative tide app *2023-06-15* I use this app almost daily to check tides and current here on the Kennebec River in Maine. Tricky spots to navigate are listed for ebb and flood currents. Bruce ### 5/5 — How good is this app *2023-04-07, version 3.4.13* This app is unbelievable I just need to look at it to see what is the best time to go fishing or when it’s time for tide changes and the water amounts are going to be up on the ice ### 5/5 — If you live by the ocean, this is the app for you *2023-01-07* This is a great app if you live by the ocean. It’s great to know the ideal conditions if you are are try to lounge or walk the beach. I always prefer it when the tide is out. Also allows you to look forward in the week, so you can plan accordingly. ### 5/5 — Does the job without any fuss *2022-12-27* Designed for simple ease of use without frivolous features. Love it and recommend it. I live on Long Island and use it to help time my fishing and seal watching. Thanks to the developer. ### 5/5 — If you live by the Ocean you need this app *2022-12-11* this app is simple but dose what is says. Gives you the correct tide info so you don’t do something stupid and get caught in the wrong spot with the tide coming in. Be great to have this on my watch is my only issue but I hope the dev might add it in a update. I would pay as this is important safety info. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
