Tide Graph Pro at Mac App Store analyse

Beautiful job, many thanks! Intuitive, uncluttered, with a wealth of information. I really like the Moon presentation - the lovely daily graphic as well as the monthly calendar. I live along the north shore of Massachusetts - where our tides run 9 or 10 feet and more, so they are important to our lives as nature lovers, boaters, fishermen, clammers, photographers. Easily worth the price of a mere cup of cappuccino, TideGraphPro will bring me years of info and enjoyment!

I surf and this is the most valuable app that I have. I can choose the exact tide I am trying to be at or an exact time in the future to check. I can also go back and note the tide it was when surf hit its sweet spot. This is my second app by this developer and actually was one reason I ended up with an iPhone. Had the previous originally on itouch.

thank you developers. have used your original version extensively and soooo greatly appreciate this upgrade!!!

I have been using this app for several years. After my weather radar app my next stop is here. Then my fishing calendar. Im in the Coast Guard Auxiliary in Swansboro NC where skinny water (<2) is readily available, so we need a lot of info on tides and currents. With Pro I get both. I dont get current for my exact location, but now I can thumb swipe to a nearby tidal location I have entered and get what I need by extrapolation. The addition of variable time periods is fantastic for fishing and cruising planning. I discover something new every day. I have absolutely no connection with the producers of this app, but I absolutely cannot live (I am retired) without it! The earlier version saved my ukw several times.

NOT SO GOOD! I had the older version and it was excellent! I teach tides/currents to sea kayakers and have recommended the OLDER version. Heres the problems with the the new Pro version: They admit to having a "bug" in the Calender. This means you cant go out a month to calculate tides. The graphics are much fainter and much harder to read especially if youre over 20. One example: The tide high/low arrow is hollow instead of solid. Tide stations are not prompted but have to be searched and then added. Annoying. Some of this I could live with but not the Calender issue. Tech support was worthless blaming my phone, then admitted there was a problem, the again blaming my phone all in extremely lengthy emails. Also, could not use their link to iTunes for a refund. iTunes says no refund or makes it such a convoluted process that its not worth the effort for $4. Tidelog requires you to jump thru too many hoops to contact tech support. All in all a frustrating process. Whatever happened to basic customer service?? If it doesnt work, make it right! That simple. So deleted it and use the old version! MUCH MORE USER FRIENDLY!!! I DO NOT RECOMMEND TIDELOG PRO!

This is an update of a Feb 2014 review: I had to write a review to balance the bad review I just read: I walk my dogs by the San Francisco Bay, and they love to walk on the sand and gooey seaweed-ed rocks. I use this app every day, to know when the tide will be low enough for them to walk on the rocks (or high enough so they wont want to, so they don’t smell like seaweed later). Regarding the calendar in Tide Graph Pro, I dont need or use it. My interest is daily or weekly. I am over 60, with recent eye surgery, and they screen is easy to read, even in the sunlight at the park. Regarding tide stations, I just enter the location I am interested in, and the app figures out the appropriate tide station (and the information is very accurate for my purposes.) I like it enough for 5 stars: works well, easy to use, no glitches.I use this plus NOAA Buoy Data Reader, which gives the wind temp and speed. Buoy Data can also give tide data, but the tide table is complicated, with tiny print. I recommend getting both, if you live at the coast, or go there and want to know what to wear. (I have not association with the developers of either app: I just use both of them everyday, on both an iPhone 4s and 5s)

Have been using this app in areas with large tides and it works great! Had questions and app support was speedy and thorough
