User reviews

Amazing! Thanks Jim! 🐬🙏

I use this app regularly for coastal trails and areas in Scotland and South of England. It has been accurate to a t. Great value and can sense this is a labour of love by and for nature enthusiasts! I will be using it for packrafting next!

Outstanding for UK tides

An outstanding app for UK tide information, flow speeds and current direction.

Scam?

Paid my £3.99 and as yet all I get is that the app is unable to to get admiralty data or I have no internet access!!! Both these are unlikely as I’ve been trying for 3 days …looking for a route to get a refund!!!!!

Response from developer

Hi, I'm sorry you ran into this! You encountered a known bug related to 12-hour time formats that was fully resolved in 2025. If you're still on that older version, switching your device to a 24-hour clock will get things working right away. For future issues, please feel free to reach out to our support team directly so we can help clarify things right away. Please let us know if you need any other help!

Best £3.99

Best £3.99 I’ve spent in a long time. Easily the best tidal app I’ve ever used. Thanks!

Top tides - Top support

Recommended by a fellow narrowboater as we use and support others to use tidal rivers. Failed to pick up data for me. I worked with Jim the developer on a beta version who spotted I was using the 12 not 24hr clock. He is altering the main version so it does not matter.
Overall, excellent tidal information and quality support, all for less than the price of a coffee.
