User reviews

Beautifully designed but baffling

This is a beautiful high-quality app, but it’s too hard to use. Information is indicated by hard-to-understand symbols. There’s a help button but it’s not enough.

I’m also never sure if it’s showing me the right location. I tap the “triangle” symbol to choose my location, but when I later tap the “waves” symbol, it shows a different location.

The symbols and help system, and lack of color contrast, are hard to see on a sunny beach or if your phone is in a waterproof bag.

I wanted to rate this higher because it’s so beautiful and *nice* but the functionality isn’t accessible.

Crashes on start on iPadOS 18.4

Can’t run on my iPad Air m2

Looked promising

Can’t seem to change temp to Celsius and tide height to meters

A very capable instrument!

Elegant, powerful tool to assist in understanding of solunar dynamics for any outdoor activities. Well thought out display that provides both real-time and forecast capabilities. Maybe adding barometric pressure could reveal more, but it’s a superb tool. Can’t wait to see future enhancements

Tides

Living on an island, accurate tides and general weather are of value. Waterscope is easy on the eyes and presents pertinent info. Time will tell how accurate it is.
