UK Tides for Android
Simple UI but has the Essential information. I particularly like the time/height graph as I know what times to take the dog for his walk on the beach. Would like a simple widget that provides tidal height at any particular time of day. Have tried various other tidal apps this is the best so far..
Good app. Used it for a long time now.. Needs Internet conection which is not always available by the coast. Always my goto app for tide times..
Showing the wrong day/date by 24hours and can't go back to the correct day.. I like the layout compared to other simar apps but even after uninstalling and reinstalling it doesn't fix the date problem..
I gave this 5 stars when I first got it because you could access data on various locations, not just a fixed list like it is now which is quite frustrating. Pity it's changed. Devs : any chance it will go back to the way it was, or is it a data source issue? That said, it's an app I depend upon so very grateful for it nonetheless.
Some ideas for a next version. User programmable height that displays across all graphs with some indication of times that tide height crosses that line (for boats that need to cross a bar, or low tide access issues). Greater height range shown on graph, or user programmable. Toolbar is a bit tight, favourites and menu buttons are crammed to the edge.
Up to a couple of weeks ago, this was a great app. Now it is a pointless waste of space. It shows "Sun 00/00" and no data for every day for every location. PROBABLY BECAUSE UKHO NOW CHARGE FOR DATA
Gives clear data and graphics of tide highs and lows. Any missing info is due to lack of data from UKHO - eg when a harbour dries out like Porthmadog they don't give data for low tides, so not the app's fault, it just showing the info available.
Have used for 2 years on nexus 7 (4.4.4) and now no data etc as other users. Was a great app Please fix. Also does not work any longer on phone running 4.0.4. Really miss it. Please.
This app still works on my tablet but doesn't load tidal data on my phone any more. Reinstalled but still missing data. Was such a useful widget with tidal heights shown I used it all the time. Any plans to fix this?
This would be my favourite tide app, if only the graph was correct. The tidal graph shown appears to be a standard and not local, it is not the right shape for Southampton, missing off the double height water. Otherwise it is great.
this has always been fine but for a week now it has refused to load data. emails to the developer have produced no reply so i uninstalled and replaced with absolute tides. the ansolute tides app is free but tha absolute tides data is £2 a year but it works offline which is important on the boat. UK tides is free and was great but I'm not the only one for whom it's stopped working. and no support from the developer is rubbish service for an app off the play store.
I've been using this app successfully for nearly a year on a Motorola Xoom2, a Nexus 7 and lately on a Moto G. It no longer works on any of them. Such a shame.
I can't see why a few other tide apps have got slightly better ratings than this one. I've just tried a handful of others and this beats them all hands down
As of 24th August 2014 this no longer works, tried emailing them but have had no response. A great pity, I used it a lot.
Great app, but the widget no longer updates itself. Only after clicking on the widget and going into the app itself does the widget update. Recently upgraded LG G3 from Android version 5.0 to version 6.0. Could that be the problem?
Was a great app but has not worked properly since August 14... has lost its data set! So sadly worthless at the moment.
Simple display and all the information I want to know. Easy to add other ports. Only let down being the menus flicker between opaque and transparent sometimes and difficult to read in transparent.
I love this app .my kids and i use it a lot for the boat and rock hopping.It has saved our bacon lots of times.we were so disapointed when it did not werk for a time But Now It Is Back. Thanks We love you for fixing it ..
As well a full graphical range display, this app creates a widget that gives you instant access to tide information and is so convenient to use. Delighted it is back in action after its dissapearance in 2014. Ignore the 1* reviews which relate to that period - this is the best UK tide app.
Used to be a brilliant app, used it every day for years! Sadly no longer works
No tide data for a while now - shame as have been using this app for a long time. Please fix!?
Used it often and found it among the best but now can only get 'missing data' notice and no times. What is the issue. Galaxy 4
Was very very good now dosnt show any graph to show rise & fall. Data missing so pretty useless now.unless fixed soon will uninstall to find another.thanks
This WAS a great app and I used it alot, but now has stopped working! Wtf? Uninstalled and reinstalled and still not working. Fix it please!!!!!
Used to be great but has now stopped working. Fix it and I'll give it 5 stars
Sadly stopped working but before then was used daily and only app to be so.
The best tide app going due to the quick view widget which means you don't have to open the app itself to get the tide times for your favourite locations. Top notch
I love this app because it provides tide predictions for my local area in a remote region of western Ireland without having to calculate based on tide stations way down the coast. It also gives times for sunrise and sunset.
So easy to read with all the information needed for tide times. Tried some of the others but this one beats them all hands down and would definitely recommend ❤
22/8/14 no info at all . Dates shown as sun 00/00 all week . Just sunrise and sun set . Fix it soon . Its now the 28 /8/14 and its still not fixed , deleet and forget i think . Dose not even show as instaled or needed an upgrade , all other apps need an upgrade at least once a month . And another thing , how come the bloody adverts still work ??????
This app is fine for showing the times and heights of high and low tides for most of the UK, as it downloads those values directly from EasyTide which is the offical UK agency free source. Unfortunately, the graph it displays from those values is at best deceptive, and at worst dangerous, as it is generated by assuming the sea level between high and low tide follows a roughly sinusoidal pattern. Take a look at Bournemouth for example, which in reality often has double high tides and other strange quirks in sea level due to tidal flows in the English Channel. The official graph from EasyTide is quite different from the simple sine-wave type graph this app displays, and if you trusted this app for tidal info there, it may well kill you.
One of my favourite apps - five stars - until it stopped working. Great to get it back again.
I downloaded this app ages ago and have used it constantly as a reference, but its recently stopped working as the data source has changed. Looking at the Last update it was a February, so maybe it takes a month or so for the developers to change and update the app. I've moved on to a paid app now that shows a lot more detail. Shame really as I liked this app and promoted it on my Skint Sailor blog. 5 stars when its working, 1 star when its broke.
I'd happily pay to get rid of those annoying ads. Can this be done? Widget keeps vanishing, best part of the app. Has to be reinstalled to get widget back. No data after a recent update. A great shame as I used it several times every day. I hope it gets sorted quickly.
UPDATE: took a while but now working brilliantly again, back to being the best UK tide app. Why is it so hard to find in Google play store??
This app has never let me down . It's great and spot on with its times
Used this for over a year now and worked perfectly but now unable to get any tide information plz fix
I'm glad that it's finally working again. Please give us an option to remove the advertisement! I will gladly pay for that.
Great app But cant use due the scary adverts telly u that u have a virus

Great app, although the widget doesn't update itself on my phone LG G3 Marshmallow (OK on the Wife's). Tried uninstalling/reinstalling, clearing app cache and data. Installed in the main memory, not on the microSD card. Not updated for 3 years - abandoned app?
