1. 2/5Ridiculously slow

   What a terrible first impression. First launch of the app gave me a black screen - I gave it thirty seconds or so, then quit the app assuming it had crashed. Second launch was black for about ten seconds. Attempting to pick a tide station bought up a text search box, but no keyboard, and locked up the app until I force-quit. Second try the same. Third try I left it on that screen for over a minute and it finally popped up a keyboard, but told me no search results for the local locations until I left it for another minute or two to update. Loaded the complication onto my Apple Watch Ultra and… it was black for over three minutes. Once it finally updated I found that it hadn’t carried over my tide station from my phone. Tried to search and add the correct station and again the search field on the watch locked up. Deleted, canceled my free trial. Wasted 30 minutes of my life on an app that clearly has major speed/connectivity issues.

2. 5/5Perfect app! [updated]

   UPDATE: Thank you for updating the watch complications! There is now a placeholder blank complication for when the watch app hasn’t had time to load the data in yet, so there are no longer gaps in the watch faces when first logging in or switching between faces. My only minor gripe has now been addressed and I couldn’t recommend this app more highly. I use it all the time and am very glad to have found it. ORIGINAL: This app is fantastic on iphone. Covers everything I thought I needed and more, while being beautiful and accurate. The only issue is the watch version of the app, which I use a lot for ocean swimming. The complications often completely disappear from my watch faces for up to a minute at a time before loading back in. This happens especially frequently when I use low power mode/turn off always on display, or when the watch is disconnected from data. If you could get these bugs worked out, it would be perfect. 🙏

3. 5/5Outstanding tide tool and more!

   First impression, very pleased with the look of the user interface and customizability. Working on the harbor this comes in very handy for quick glance tide and wind info. I really enjoy the all in one sort of functionality that you get here. One of the reasons I appreciate this is for the ability to see the speed of the current based off of your location however, I am abit dissapointed that there is no way of setting the main screen or any widgets to show that permanently. Unfortunately you have to press one of the data boxes and choose it in a drop down menu every time. I would love to see a fix for that in the future. Otherwise fantastic app super excited to see the new features down the road keep up the good work!

4. 2/5Not accurate, buggy

   The simplicity of the design is great, but since the data doesn’t match other vetted and trusted sources, and because it crashes during a simple routine I won’t be using this app. Too bad, would have been cool to have a widget displaying tides and swells at a glance!! But can’t trust it… Using Surfline and NOAA website to compare: This app doesn’t provide accurate data for TIDE TIMES (high and low times off by several minutes) This app doesn’t provide accurate data for SWELL HEIGHT and DIRECTION. It’s simply wrong be at least a foot and the swell direction is wrong. Also: it crashes when trying to add a new location: tap the area to type in a new location and the keyboard doesn’t pop up. Tap to cancel gets no response, then tapping more causes app to unexpectedly close. Why would anyone pay a premium price for an app with data you can’t trust and that crashes during a simple, essential routine? Makes me wonder how apps and developers get added to the spotlight in the App Store…

5. 3/5Nice app but

   The tidal times and heights are way out compared to data from NOAA for the same tide station. Like nearly half an hour out. Also there an ongoing problem of tide notifications either not happening or getting repeat notifications for the same tide event. It’s a nice app and I want to like it but for the cost I expect accurate data. The difference in tidal data for me means making over shallow areas or getting the boat grounded/damaged and say there until next high tide. You might want to just double check the tidal data this app shows you is actually correct.
