### 3/5 — Easy to look at. Not easy to program.

*2020-07-06*

I like how this app gets right to the point (unlike the Wolfram Alpha tide app). But programming it to accept a new location was difficult, and I have had to settle for measurements in meters, because the tool for switching to other units doesn’t seem to work.

### 1/5 — Can’t add ports so app is useless so far

*2018-08-12*

The list of Your Ports comes pre-stocked with a place I never heard of. There are no instructions. I press the menu button and it opens Your Ports (no other options). I press the plus sign button, and nothing happens. Have tried multiple times over several days.

### 5/5 — The Best!

*2017-08-06*

Use this app to set the ramp at the ferry terminal.
Love the scrolling time feature! 
Please don't change it!!

### 3/5 — Ok app

*2017-05-09*

Any info help with a sailboat fixed keel

### 3/5 — Nice Graphics, but...

*2016-02-06*

Bugs:
1. Can't scroll to future days.
2. App doesn't take local time zone into account. It seems to be stuck on EST.

### 5/5 — Love it, But...

*2015-07-20*

I want to select another date, but have to wait until midnight. 

Other than that it looks good and is accurate.

### 1/5 — Absolutely useless

*2015-07-10*

Can't view anything but today. No currents. No near me feature. Good thing it is free, I dumped it!

### 2/5 — Hawaii missing

*2015-06-20*

Hawaii tides missing :(

### 1/5 — Needs a fix for dates

*2015-06-16*

Seems like a good app for tides, but has a flaw that only allows the current date to be seen. Trying to changes days by clicking on the date causes the app to quit.

### 1/5 — Crash

*2015-05-23*

Serious problems with this app on iPad Mini. It was always a pain to navigate dates. Now the drop down calendar has disappeared and the app crashes every time I touch the date. 

iPad Mini iOS 8.2
