Tidal Watch is a clock specifically designed to keep track of the coastal tides at a designated geographic coastal location, offering a simple and reliable way to keep track of local tides. Set the high or low tide time based upon your location, and Tidal Watch will continuously display tide predictions indicated by the tide arrow clock hand. Clearly tells the time of day and shows the hours to high and low tides as well as the digital and analog times of the High and Low tides. Perfect for swimmers, beachcombers, fishermen, mariners, surfers, boat owners, seaside property owners, or anyone who enjoys tracking the costal tides, it offers at a glance a simple and reliable way to grasp the states of the local tides. Much easier to read than tide tables or charts, Tidal Watch is easy to use; simply set Tidal Watch to align with your local beach's high and low tide times and you’ll always know the tide states with a simple glance. Track the tide where you actually are, not the nearest tide station. Forecasting tides on the Atlantic and Pacific Coasts, Tidal Watch works anywhere where the tides change every 6 hours and 12.5 minutes.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Moen Flo at 4.4 against Tidal Watch's 2.8. Moen Flo also leads on ratings volume (25K vs 5). Tidal Watch's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 16%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Moen Flo holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Moen Flo has 25K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 16% of Moen Flo's written reviews are positive against 50% of Tidal Watch's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
