Tidey

Read full description

Tidey shows you what the tide is actually doing as arrows on the water from advanced predictions in seconds. Scrub forward and back through the tide and watch the streams turn layed over a race course. WHAT YOU GET FREE The free charts runs at reduced resolution and steps in two-hour intervals, and it works entirely offline. No account, no sign-up, no trial timer. WHAT A SUBSCRIPTION ADDS Full-resolution tidal streams with fifteen-minute time stepping. The course builder - drop marks, set the wind, and see the true wind angle on every leg with the tide underneath it. Once downloaded, the full chart is stored on your device and works offline. Dark chart that survives sunlight and doesn't wreck your night vision. Large touch targets that work in gloves and chop. No account, no tracking, no analytics — your location never leaves your device. IMPORTANT Tidey shows modelled predictions and is for guidance only. It is not a navigation instrument and must not be used as one. Always rely on official charts, local pilotage guidance and your own judgement on the water.
