Home Tide shows the day's tides on the home screen - and now lock screen - in a way that makes them easy to understand at a glance. The lock screen widget shows the day's tides as a graph, with a karaoke ball highlighting the current part of the cycle, so you can see how high the tide is, when high and low tide are, and whether the tide is going in or out with a quick glance. The home screen widget shows the same graph and karaoke ball, but with the background coloured according to the daylight, so you can see at a glance which stages of the tide fall in daylight hours, which are at night, and which are in twilight. Tapping on either widget opens the app, where you can see the same graph, karaoke ball and daylight hours as the home screen widget, but with heights added to the graphs. Choose any day in the next week and drag a finger along the graph to see the height change through the day. Use the map to choose from thousands of tide stations around the world. - See the current state of the tide at a glance, without opening an app or even unlocking your phone - Choose from thousands of tide locations worldwide (see here for the list: https://www.worldtides.info/tidestations) - Check the tide height for any time in the next week - Support for tide heights in feet or metres - See which parts of the tide fall in daylight, twilight and nighttime - No sign-up - No ads - No tracking - No in-app purchases - No prompts to review - No notifications - No nonsense

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Salcombe App at Free against Home Tide's $1.99. Salcombe App also leads on review sentiment (82% vs 67%) and device support (3 vs 1). Home Tide's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
