Fish Calendar from "Fish Planet" gives an accurate prediction of success on a fishing trip and is addressed to all fishermen - from amateurs to anglers. For a complete fishing forecast - just click on the day you are interested. The probability of th catch is presented in a simple graphical form for each fish. For convenience of display, you can choose to only desired fish species, disabling forecast for that types of fish that you are not going to catch soon. Fishes are distributed by families in App settings. In settings you can specify a point on the map, for which you need to watch the forecast. This is useful when planning a fishing trip - specify a point, choose a day - and get the forecast. Fish Calendar can notify you about the forecast for today. Notifications will also be displayed on a gadgets, connected to your mobile phone, such as an electronic clock or fitness bracelets - for example, Samsung Galaxy Gear, Samsung Galaxy Fit and others. The forecast based on the mathmatical model of fish MathFish5.0 (TM), which takes into account: climatic zone (detailed three-dimensional model of the Earth, based on topography, permanent ocean and sea currents and winds); dynamics of change of food base in a given point; the behavior characteristic of each species of fish - spawning, feeding, winter; reaction of each species of fish on the phases of the moon. Not taken into account: impact of local weather events on fish appetite; daily changes associated with sunrise, sunset, moonrise and moonset; impact on fishing tides. The calendar presents 199 species of fish. Mathematical model of fish MathFish5.0 (TM) is developed for each fish. The basic free version of the app includes 32 major fish species. Separately available for download regional packages: North America - 73 species of fish; Europe and Asia - 131 species of fish; Sea Fishes - 124 species of fish. In addition to the calendar, we recommend the fishermen to install the application "Fish Planet" - the most comprehensive mobile reference fish for anglers. This fishing guide: contains detailed biometric data and descriptions of the habits and ways of fishing for 360 species of fish and has both free and paid versions. Fish Calendar from "Fish Planet" - is the result of our work on the biennial fishing calendars, calendar third generation. On fishing this application will be most useful in your mobile phone!

Tide Pro was developed by www.9oc.net and published in September 2020. If you are into fishing, beach combing, surfing, sailing, or wild fishing, this app provides high-precision ocean weather forecasts. Main benefits: 1. Astronomical tide and currents forecast: The tide model algorithm was upgraded in January 2021, and grid precision was significantly improved compared with the previous model. Supports offline access to real-time tide and moon phase data for favorite sites. 2. 6-day storm surge forecast: Storm surge is the rise in seawater level caused solely by a storm. It is measured as the height of the water above the normal predicted astronomical tide. This model output is not total water level guidance. Total tide results from the combination of storm surge and astronomical tide. Actual water levels can be significantly higher than forecast due to waves, steric effects, and other components not currently included in this model. 3. Merged ocean currents provide a practical estimate of sea-surface velocity. The total current is obtained by adding contributions from general ocean circulation, waves such as Stokes drift, and tides, including exchange between the coast and the open sea. Supports access to the speed and direction of merged ocean currents, oceanic general circulation, sea surface height, and sea surface temperature. 4. Ocean wave forecast: Supports access to wave height, wave period, wave direction, and three categories of wave data. 5. Ocean currents forecast: Supports access to current speed, direction, temperature, and salinity data for both surface currents and currents at 50 different depths. 6. Ocean biochemistry forecast: Supports access to 10 marine biochemistry indicators, including chlorophyll, phytoplankton, pH value, and gross primary productivity. 7. Seabed elevation: Supports access to seabed elevation data. Grid precision is less than 0.5 km. 8. Weather data including water temperature and soil temperature: Supports access to water temperature and soil temperature at four different depths. Please note: We cannot guarantee the accuracy of numerical forecasts and provide this information for reference only.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Tide Pro at 5.0 against Fish Planet Calendar's 2.1. Tide Pro also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 47 months) and review sentiment (38% vs 8%). Fish Planet Calendar's advantage is ratings volume (59 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
