Tides Planner App Reviews

Barely usable. Please consider a redesign.

Nice graphical view, helpful for hydrographic survey baseline info. I really wish I could select units and Parameters such as MLLW.

Nearly Useless, No Current, Only Tide Height. And this app apparently only has data for years prior to 2000. It asks for payment to get this years data. Bait & switch!! Grumble.

Can,t get anything but tides for current day, in free version anyway. Not clear if I get more by paying, or what. Not much use for planning.

BUYER BEWARE, this tidal app is touted as "free", yet charges you for current year data. A TOTAL WASTE OF YOUR TIME! My review was rejected unless I gave it at least one star, because an option for zero is not provided. At least they are consistent in denying accuracy. I GIVE THIS APP ZERO STARS.

Only "free" if you dont want it to be useful -- requires paying for current year data.

Will ask for $2.00 if you want to know the tide this year. Bait and switch tactic.

Free to download. Then you need to play if you want information for tomorrow or next week. LOOK AT THE REVIEWS...MOST ARE NEGATIVE, AND FOR A GOOD REASON! Too bad there is no negative star.

Free to download, $1.99 to use (unless you really do need the tides during the year 2010) I am sure there is something better out there.

As others have said, this is all bait and switch. After downloading this app that does nothing, I tried TideTrac and its awesome.

No currents for the US, horrible user interface. Needs a lot of improvement. Should not be sold in the US. Regret buying the license.

Best tide app around - really. Im 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.)

I dont like this trend of not supporting older versions of iOS, and I dont mean version 2 or 3, but 4.. What is that all about…? We deserve an explanation, what is the reason of not supporting iOS 4.2.1? iPhone 3G can only go up to 4.2.1

App doesnt disclose that there is a $2.00 annual fee until after installing...

I have tried to update fro at least 10 times but never completes.

Cant open app anymore without it crashing when loading!

Can I say it crashes if it wont even open (other than a nano-second) on my iPad? Works fine on my iPhone 4S. ???

Its only a really good app if you are planning to go on a boat ride to specific places, but its not very cool at all if you arent.if you want to go boating, get this app. If not, you are in for some uselessness.

What is the use of a tide planner if you cant plan ahead. This version is broken. One thing I hate about Apple is they like it when updates break software. It forces users to pay for a new version or else shove annoying ads down your throat. This particular app is useless because it no longer lets you look ahead to another day. I get an error message telling to change a setting that cannot be changed. You get todays tides or any tide information you want in 2009 or 2010. See what I mean about useless. Software should get better not worse over time. I think I will start my own software company and simply make software that works instead of junk that doesnt. It should be easy as there is no real competition.

Theres a ton of data presented in this app, but the numerous cryptic buttons and unlabeled numbers make it a jumble of unusable information. Im sure the developer can figure out how to use it and what it all means, and maybe you can too, but its not an app you can just open up and use. It keeps informing me that I "do not have a valid annual license for this port" so Im not sure what data is being withheld for lack of a license.
