ABOUT PREDICTIONS
Predictions are based on the harmonic method, using constants from the Hydro offices (UKHO, SHOM, NOAA, BOM, CHS etc). There are differences between the app predictions and the official Hydro office tide tables, as these are based on large numbers of constants that are not made publicly available. The Hydro offices consider the harmonic methods used in this product appropriate for navigation.

Always consult tidal curves and take into account local weather (pressure and wind) and swell conditions, which can have a very significant effect on sea water levels.

Quite annoying to have to buy two licenses to be able to change the date, only realised after i bought the first one now have to pay another £5.99. Had i known this would not have bought the first one as £12 is too much.

Does not show the double high for Cowes IoW area, therefore it's hard to tell when the real second high tide is, therefore when the current is really going to turn. Also, whilst it shows (apparently) tidal heights at all times of the day, and which I had believed, it is purely sinusoidal applied to the tide times, ie is a pure sin wave, very regular, rather than fact. This app has been useful for getting some ideas of tide times, especially when planning ahead during the year.

I have purchased the licence for tides for 2024, but the app refuses to acknowledge this and will not let me get tides. Yet when I go to the app extension page, there is a check next to 2024 indicating that it is purchased. I've uninstalled and reinstalled it, but no joy. I need this facility for work. It's very annoying. This app has worked seamlessly over the past couple of years. So after a couple of emails back and forth, Imray very kindly fixed the problem by giving me a gift of 2025 tides.
