Tides NZ 4+

Quick, and to the point, with a clear simple layout that tells you the basic tidal information. I’ve used it for a while now and if I didn’t have it I would certainly miss it and I have tried lots of others which are mostly far too complex and time consuming. This app is as close as one can get to a glance at ones wrist watch

I’ve been using this app for years, almost daily. It’s become a part of my consciousness because I’ve come to put that much faith in the information it gives me, all over NZ, anywhere and anywhen. I’ve relied on data from this app to navigate French pass in low vis with a small sailboat, because I trusted it that much. To my knowledge, it’s never given me false information. Imagine my shock when I checked the tide against my mate’s Samsung and they didn’t match, not even close. I checked all the settings and the date and time were accurate. I convinced him to check all his updates, then asked google, then called 0800 MARTIME and asked for the official tides for where we were - Samsung Wins!! Stink. I hope I’m wrong and someone responds to set me straight, but dodgy tide timetables could, and do, get people killed.

I bought this for the widget, on iPhone 13, ios15.5, hoping that the widget would be good but it’s not. It automatically only displays the port, and the current tide height. If you want the high tide times you may try your luck tapping on the chart to try and work out the next high tide but it’s only accurate if you can tap exactly the right spot, and that is hard to do! And on the widget you can’t drag the line to try and adjust it.
I want to see today’s high tides, and if it’s already nighttime then I want to see tomorrow’s high tides. The app can show these OK but not the widget.
