Accurate Predictions
This app was written using well-known tidal prediction algorithms and publicly available location data. It can be expected to match very closely to federally-published tide tables.
Designed for On The Spot Use
The tidal status presentation gives an immediate snapshot of the tide or current status, as well as a list of highs and lows. The display can be refreshed at any time to update this status. This app is designed for use while actively out and about along the waterfront.
200 Year Calendar In addition to today's tides, a date picker is available to choose any date from 1901 to 2100.
Next Day, Prior Day Swipes
Favorites The selected station can be added to a set of 8 favorites. These can be accessed by a down-swipe.
Sun and Moon Info. - There is available sun and moon status for the presented date. There are three choices for how much to display. The "Full Sun and Moon Info" displays rise, set, and transit times, time lines aligned with the daily graph to show them, and moon phase and illumination. The "Daylight Shading" displays a highlighted section on the graph to indicate daylight hours. The "None" removes all sun and moon information. The graph size is reduced for the "Full" option, to allow room sun and moon info. To get the largest graph, select either Daylight Shading or None,
Mark Height - You can mark any given tide height on the graph. The height line is drawn, along with the times the tide crosses this line. Examples boat launching, clam digging, walking around obstacles such as bulkheads.
About Gestures - provides a reminder from the left, right, and down swipes. Left is next day, Right is prior day, Down is shortcuts list.
Overlay Waveform - For those interested, you can show two waveforms to allow you to compare how similar or different are two locations. First you run one of the stations you want to compare. Then you select Overlay ON. Then you run the other station you want to compare. Both will be displayed. Later, turn off Overlay and hit the refresh button to clean up the display. This is also interesting to compare the tide and current waveform for nearby stations. You can see how the current flow adjusts the tide levels.

Great tide table app!!! Summer is almost here! The weather is nice and getting better. I use this app to check my local tides when I take my boat out. It's a great tool to have if you are boating in Western Washington State on the Puget Sound. 🌞👍🌊🚢⛵🚤🚣

Great tool! Loads quick and gives what I need for hanging out on the beach.
★★★★★
Nice, simple tide prediction. Does everything to want from a ride prediction app and nothing you don't. Nice additions would be a list of nearest stations (from gps) and tidal current predictions. Thanks!
★★☆☆☆
Had to lower from 5 to 3 due to the incredibly ugly and pointless UX downgrade. This app was above average due to the old Holo interface, now it's yet another ugly app. I'm giving 3 stars because at least you didn't go full Material You on it so kudos for that. Update: dev lied to me and told me that they never updated the app's UX. Unfortunately, I can easily prove that version 7 has a different user interface from version 11. Why would you ask me to use another app but not change my review?
★★☆☆☆
Buddy 3625 When tide chart displays, sometimes it will have mountain state time, and sometimes it is pacific coast time and is very confusing. Help to establish constant zone and would rate the app 5 stars
