User reviews

Broken app

Impossible to drag map to select new locations now. App used to be brilliant, but essentially not working now.

Look elsewhere

Probably one of the most user unfriendly GUI’s I’ve ever used. App was recommended on a training course which we all immediately downloaded. Everyone was left scratching their heads and asking how to access the relevant information. I’m sure the data is there, it’s just like toothache to find it. Even the licensing is difficult to understand. Do you need two purchases, both the stream data and to look seven days ahead. I gave up, there are a number of easier-to-use apps available.

Latest update doesn’t work

The latest update doesn’t allow you to move around the map with IOS 26. Kinda makes it useless now.

Map view issues

The recent update of the app has introduced a glitch meaning you can no longer use the map view on an iPhone . Previously the app worked flawlessly.

iOS 26 phone

Used this for years and loved it. But now it does not work correctly on my IPhone. Cannot view currents correctly on the chart and suspect it’s linked to the way iOS scrolls between screens.

The app offers tidal graphs, weekly tide tables, sunrise/sunset times, moon phases, and tools for calculating optimal time windows for activities.

How does the app handle tidal predictions?

The app uses its own database for worldwide tidal predictions, meaning no internet connection is required.

The initial download of Tides Planner is free and provides access to all features, but it is limited to one day of tide predictions.

Hydrographic Office Licenses can also be purchased to remove country-specific restrictions and extend time coverage.
