Home Tide shows the day's tides on the home screen - and now lock screen - in a way that makes them easy to understand at a glance.
The lock screen widget shows the day's tides as a graph, with a karaoke ball highlighting the current part of the cycle, so you can see how high the tide is, when high and low tide are, and whether the tide is going in or out with a quick glance.
The home screen widget shows the same graph and karaoke ball, but with the background coloured according to the daylight, so you can see at a glance which stages of the tide fall in daylight hours, which are at night, and which are in twilight.
Tapping on either widget opens the app, where you can see the same graph, karaoke ball and daylight hours as the home screen widget, but with heights added to the graphs. Choose any day in the next week and drag a finger along the graph to see the height change through the day. Use the map to choose from thousands of tide stations around the world.

Really well put together app. It’s very neat and organised and it works great. I like how clean it is and the gradient for the daylight is very useful and super cool. However, I wish you could add an offset or something by an hour or so. For example, I live 15 minutes down the road from my nearest tide point. But the tide is like an hour behind. I live in a coastal loch. On Navionics I can see the tide for where I live because of this. So it would be good to add an offset of a couple of hours so you can create an exact time for your shore. Other than that - brilliant!

I use this app everyday to check tides for beach walks, surfing, kayaking or paddle boarding, the widget is so convenient and I love that you can look ahead to other days.
Developer Response
Thanks for the review! That’s exactly what I made the widgets for and I love hearing from people who use them. All the best
It’s not the 99p

This could be the best app I’ve ever used. Doesn’t seem to work with the new update, it’s only 99p so 5stars from me. Please make the simple coding to make it work with IOS16
Developer Response
Thanks for the feedback! A new version just went live on the App Store, which works much better with iOS 16. If you have any more problems though please drop me an email through the support link and we’ll get to the bottom of them. All the best
You can now search for a place name and see the tide stations around that place. VoiceOver users will also notice significant improvements to the widgets and tide graphs.
