Ebb Tide - Free Tides

Couldn't be happier! Tried a few apps and what i especially like about this is how easy it is to find/change locations in your area which might not be "nearby". Just tap around the map. Other apps had u choose first from a list, when u might not know the name of the tide station, then there was no way to favorite them, so all u had was a "recents" and it actually was pretty annoying. Because trying to find the right location - bum searches would clear out ones u wanted to keep. SO!!!!! My point is this is SO SIMPLE. The map stays around your area (i didn't do the gps location access) and u can easily tap a new location by sight, tap the tides, BAM. Also, much love for the joint calendar/tides screen so u can see high/low as u tap days on the calendar. Makes it much easier for say planning a trip or planning the right day/time to go snorkeling or whatnot. Thank u, developer, for making an app that is so simple to use and gets all the fluff out of the way! It is streamlined and just enough to be everything that is needed! Very happy here!!! :D

The visual is a wavy line with two peaks representing high tides and two valleys representing low tides and the corresponding time of day under each. The calendar is below that. After you set a location, all you do is tap the day (&/or month) you want to see. (A vertical red line intersects the current tide on the wavy line). The display could not be simpler. It is MUCH EASIER TO USE than the totally text charts I formerly relied on. I use it for beach walks where I want to avoid getting trapped on my way back by the highest tides up against tick infested plants and a chain link fence. (I do not use it to navigate the ocean.) I frequently recommend it to folks heading out for an evening beach walk as a higher tide is coming in. Usually they are clueless about the status of the tides, even men pushing strollers into the situation!

I haven't taken the time to write an app review in the years I've been using an iPhone. Today I feel compelled after finding Ebb Tide. I live off a river and when large storms enter the area and the tide is high my house can be subject to some nasty flooding. I used some inferior apps to get by in the past but frustration lead me to Ebb Tide. Now I'm able to grab a quick snapshot of current tide conditions and days that are subject to more extreme tides. It's basically everything I needed. One feature request would be the ability to set alerts for high, low, or specific thresholds on tides. Regardless, love the app!

I been using this app for at least six months now. I have found that it is great for getting a quick look at where the tide is heading either up or down and for an approximate time for a high or low. Accurate values on the graph are difficult to read, but who needs a super accurate value anyway. I just want the big picture and that is what this app will give you.

Love it! I go to the beach quite often and you can only drive on the beach with a lower tide. It’s always nice to know where the tide is. It also makes a difference with boggie boarding. I find the best time is high tide. One small issue. My watch complication is off. It currently says low tide is in 64 hrs. And I know that that’s not right. If my watch complication worked better I’d give this app 5 stars. But I just can’t since the watch is what i use most. If it doesn’t get fixed soon I’ll have to switch to a different app.
