Tide Alert (NOAA) - Tide Chart Reviews

by Paladinsoft

Eats battery for lunch. I could swear TideAlertNOAATideChart didn’t always do this, and generally I like TideAlertNOAATideChart , but after installing the latest version my battery ran out really quickly. I found TideAlertNOAATideChart was basically running in the background all day. It was my #1 battery user even though I used it maybe twice a day.

Additionally, twice now updating iOS has left TideAlertNOAATideChart in a state where it crashes on launch. Reinstalling TideAlertNOAATideChart fixes it.

I liked TideAlertNOAATideChart, but I’ve deleted it for good over the battery issue.

I am just an ordinary person, not a scientist, but I do have an interest in the tides. We live by the water and it’s cool to see when there’s a high-high or a low-low. It would be awesome to view this info in a chart like someone else suggested, because in the summer especially we love to go out into the Puget sound at a low-low because you can go really far out at Alki in Seattle. Makes for a fun family day. But I need the chart so I can view this info ahead of time to plan better. Would be great to also have with the sunrise/sunset.
Since we are watching the moon and it’s phases, an additional cool feature would be to show which stars/planets we would see on a particular night. There are many other stars apps to use tho. I really am interested in which planets I will see in the sky especially when they are close together (like recently there was Jupiter, Saturn, mars! All within the night sky, big and bright.
Thanks NOAA for amazing info tho on all of your sights/apps. My brother showed me MyRadar (he is a pilot and uses this info). I love the different layers on it.

Good app but this needs charts that tell you sunrise sunset times low tide, high tide times with Heights daily for the week and several weeks even! TideAlertNOAATideChart is designed well but it’s missing this key chart information. The only way to view it is to scroll through and observe their interactive graph but that’s way too time intensive and unfeasible. They just need one page I can scroll down and view several days of information in a chart at least two weeks ahead. I’m having to use another app to do this :-( also their feedback func doesn’t work because I don’t use the email app on my phone. Should work with Gmail.

I love TideAlertNOAATideChart. But it keeps crashing, won't open, won't send out tide notifications. I have to keep deleting TideAlertNOAATideChart and reloading it to my phone. And why can't I get both low AND high ride notifications? TideAlertNOAATideChart settings makes you think you can, but it doesn't work. If I set for both, I don't get any notifications. If I set for one, I get it, until TideAlertNOAATideChart crashes again, and I'm forced to reload it all again.

All of the info is there which is great!! But, the graphic display is a bit confusing. There is shading on the graphic display which corresponds to something other than night time. Why? Why not start the shading at sunset, and stop it at sunrise? This would be so much more intuitive when viewed at a glance, to put all of the data into perspective. Basic symbolism should not be underestimated. Day and night are pretty fundamental.

It works fine on iPhone XS Max latest IOS. But on Watch4 latest version, app loads but can not pick up any app info. I follow instructions and select a default station, but message on watch never changes and never picks up data. Too bad. I like the high/low tide alerts.

Update. After several attempts, was able to get the watch working. Not easy. I’ll increase to a 4 but not 5 because of this issue and no instructions. Was trial and error.

I have been looking for and trying lots of different tide/weather apps, none have fit the bill. Until now. TideAlertNOAATideChart has a simple interface that lets you bookmark your favorite tide locations and even set one as the default reporting station when you open TideAlertNOAATideChart . The info is simple, clear and straightforward showing tides that you can scroll through for days ahead. This is just what I have been looking for, without the extra crap and fees most have. Great job on this.

My first issue with TideAlertNOAATideChart is once you go in to the future or past on your tide station, you can’t get back to the present time (and if there is a way it’s too hard to find) unless you leave TideAlertNOAATideChart . If you leave TideAlertNOAATideChart then it goes back to current time. Other then that TideAlertNOAATideChart is fantastic. Beautiful clean UI, and easy to use. One more thing that would bring TideAlertNOAATideChart to the top is a widget for iOS 14 Devices.

I’ve used TideAlertNOAATideChart across the eastern coastline of the US and would say the accuracy throughout is great. I especially use it locally to me, on the Connecticut River, which is a heavily tidal river. Having the ability to simply glide ahead in time a few days makes it super easy to plan ahead. And the monthly tide flow info, and moon charts is enough to make fairly accurate guesses ahead of the extent that the glide allows. I get everything I need to know about the tides from TideAlertNOAATideChart.

TideAlertNOAATideChart is a Very useful tool and I enjoy using it. It's very useful at work because the tides are important to know when you are running certain channels. I love the alerts and widgets that come with it. It's also great to see the moon phases. It's also handy when doing some salt water fishing! Thanks to the developers of TideAlertNOAATideChart and keep up the awesome work! Bravo Zulu! Have a blessed day to anyone reading.

I just needed a title chart that would work for virtually any place we were near the sea or the ocean, and this fill the bill. It has all the basic information I might need and it’s in an easy to access form. It’s very visual and graphic and that helps in terms of the presentation of the data.I have not found anything that was problematic and I have been using it for about four weeks.

by Wesleywongphoto

Absolutely the easiest, simplest and most well designed app for finding the tides. As a surfer and fisherman, I wanted something that I could IMMEDIATELY and clearly see what and when the tides were. Most of the time with most of these kind of apps you have to push this and push that in order just to find out one tidal period as opposed to TideAlertNOAATideChart which enables the user to get this kind of information with literally one push of the button. Love also the page which shows all the moon phases. Everything is also graphically pleasing to look at as well. I highly recommend TideAlertNOAATideChart !

Have been following tide patterns for decades for annual beach trips. Of course, smartphone apps made this task easy and visual - or so you would think. I tried a few tide apps and was disappointed in the product. That is, until I tried Tide Alert. Simple to use with great data visualization and other features. I highly recommend TideAlertNOAATideChart.

by Macisbetter

I’ve tried a bunch of these cause we walk the beach regularly and some areas are tight if the tide is high unlike with other tide apps this one has been spot on so we can actually rely on it because it’s so accurate! I Love it and I highly recommend it! Thanks for such an eye candy, easy to use and highly accurate tide app!

by Janet P Eisenberg

Loving right on the coast of the Pacific, I rely on having access to accurate tidal information that’s easy to understand. TideAlertNOAATideChart does all those things and works offline. I hike along the coast a lot, and sometimes thru remote areas that are impassible at high tide. TideAlertNOAATideChart has never let me down and I’ve grown to rely on it every day.

by 760 Surfer

I love how the tide is shown on TideAlertNOAATideChart ! I can dial in my surf sesh down to the minute with a very clear reading of the tide. I also Love how it shows you the moon cycles which makes the tides ebb and flow. It keeps you in tune to nature and how the moon affects the tides.
The only thing that would make it better is if it had the surf height. I would ditch Surfline altogether if TideAlertNOAATideChart had that. Wink, wink 😉.
Great App 🤙🏼

This may very well be the most useful app on my phone. I live in Pawleys Island and I love walking on the beach in the evenings looking for shark’s teeth and shells. I used to google search tidecharts and usually had to search quite awhile to find the information I was looking for. Even then, it was sometimes confusing and hard to read, as most of it was really geared towards fishermen who probably needed a lot more info than I did. With TideAlertNOAATideChart, I can pinpoint and save all of my favorite locations, see sunrise/sunset times, and just drag my finger across the screen to find the ideal times to head out. I’ve been using it for a few months now and it has been completely accurate every time- I literally use it every day.

by RenjaminBunny

It’s great! I love having it on the widget page for a quick glance. I absolutely recommend it!
Edit: unfortunately with the new update TideAlertNOAATideChart won’t open. I still have access to the widget, but I can’t edit what beach I want on there and it’s so frustrating :( hopefully it’ll get fixed!

He lives to put his paws in every
Low tide pool. We use TideAlertNOAATideChart daily weekly and monthly to plan ahead. I wish the weather was as easy to predict, but who can tame wild. Here on the Pacific Ocean no water is too cold for Timkin to plunge into. Keep you dogs young take them wild tide pool swimming. Using this cool app And the added benefit is tides are caused by the moon so the moons phases are depicted in a wonderful way. Can I share it by sending it in email? I hope so. Thankyou for this great app. Now if I could find a real-time app for the weather specifically for where I live. Last week the fog gave us more precipitation than the predicted storm. Love TideAlertNOAATideChart.

I have not confirmed accuracy of the data shown, but the layout of TideAlertNOAATideChart and the particular information shown is what I would consider to be PERFECT! Just the information I want to see at my fingertips in a format that is clear and informative, with the phases of the moon, sun/moon rise/set, and detailed tide height data, all right there in an easy-to-look-at graphic. Love the moon phase calendar and charts views too. Well done. Thanks for making this quality app free and ad-free. You should add an option (non-nag) in your menu for donations, since TideAlertNOAATideChart is definitely worthy!

by Beebrain

This was a terrific app until daylight time ended. In the table of sunrise and set time, it correctly shows standard time of sunrise and set, but not on the graph which shows times they would be if Daylight time were still in effect. The tide times displaying on the graph are updated, but the graphical wave is an hour off. OOOPS!

by Magicjr55

I have been boating in the Puget Sound for years and have relied on a variety publications to determine tides. This by far is the best one yet. Intuitive and clarity of information make this a useful tool that works. No longer have to flip around in a book to find the best tide information four specific location.. it is rapidly at your finger tips and that is peace of mind!

by Macmagaidh

This is the best tide app I’ve found. I have potential annoyances at low tide where I keep my boat, and TideAlertNOAATideChart is perfect to let me know what to expect and when. I like that I can set a notification for either high or low tides. I also had to contact the developer for a question and they got back to me very quickly. Thanks!!

by Henry Island

We are dependent upon tides to get in and out of our island recreation place. Being able to scroll with the lozenge to determine what the tide will be at any particular time is a godsend for us, as opposed to trying to figure and calculate the right amount of water based on charts or even graphs that are hard to eyeball. Perfect app for us!

by Spider6-two

I boat off Cape Cod and need good, straight forward info at a glance...this is TideAlertNOAATideChart I’ve been happy with, for years. Most often, it’s just a quick look at the easy-to-read & understand widget. ...and that widget, lives just below my weather apps...and keeps me in tune with the water at all times!

by Lisa 925

Living on the waterfront, it is important to know what to expect with the tides. I’ve used other apps and websites but none come close to this.

Yes, they all give the same general info but TideAlertNOAATideChart does it quickly, is easy to read, and with beautiful displays.

Can’t believe it’s freeeeee!!!!!

by BayShoreBob

I just upgraded my Apple operating system. My previous app would not open.
Searching for a new app, I found The NOAA app.
Very pleased with this Interface of the NOAA app is far superior to my old app, that I paid a nominal amount to download.
I’m an ocean swimmer in Alamitos Bay,
Long Beach CA. I like to check tides before swimming.

by DeepSeaSailor

Superb graphic presentation. The integration of the moon tracking the sine wave indicating the rise and fall of the tides clearly shows the relationship between the rising and setting of the moon and the influence it has on the tides. It would really be awesome if the moon phase could be shown. It would then clearly show the amplitude and hight of the tide related to the moon phase. Well done. Gary Sunderlan, architect, sailor
