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.

Best tide app for the price (but not free)

Best tide app around - really. I'm not sure what the complaining is about. I bought this app when it was $2 up-front (not on the app store), and it has features normally found in similar apps selling for $10-15. Loads of US locations - I count about 20 near Paris Island alone while other apps often just show one. Also it has offline use (no connection required), nice data display, currents ….. I recently killed three other tide apps on my phone since I found I no longer used them since getting this app. As far as I can see, the negative comments are due to the "free" claim. Apparently that is just a limited demo. Probably not a good marketing tactic, but with so many tide apps out there you need some way to try-before-buy. Regardless, the app is a great bargain at the price. (Not affiliated in any way with anyone.)

Great work fixing it!

Thanks to the entire team for making this app possible. Customer service was very prompt when I told them about the issues the past version was encountering. This new version is running very well showing tides for all the regions. Thanks again.
