Pros and cons of Tide Chart USA app for iPhone and iPad
Tide Chart USA app good for
I use this app to plan my morning jog on the beach. This app prevents me from arriving on a high tide blocked beach.
Great free app, use it all the time for oystering. For some reason recently it fell behind 1 hour and shows the time 1 hour behind even with the DST option turned on.
This is an easy app for someone that is a beachgoer. There is a daylight savings setting that needs to be clicked on, otherwise the tide times may be an hour or so off.
Seems pretty accurate if you have the right location set and the graphics are good for scrolling and watching the pattern or seeing whats happening.
But... I wish it would show me data about the current condition / where the red line is. And it lets me touch and hold to put a red line up, but again no info.
The calendar is nice for the moon, but why not have an option to show high/low tide levels?
And setting location is a bit tedious. Do I have the closest one? Maybe it could offer a list sorted by distance?
Some bad moments
Stations are found through a laborious list. Tide Trac on the other hand is done visually from a map, and is much easier. I can also find stations with Tide Trac that I cannot with this app, Kent Narrows MD for example.
Love this easy to read tide chart app. I need on shore locations because I pump oil wells inland. The wells make more fluid at high tide. I can set the timers on the pumps to come on during high tide saving electricity and wear and tear on oil pump jacks. I have it set to the closest ocean location to me right now. Thanks for the great app.
I live in the Bronx right before going into Long Island, there is absolutely no way are listed under New York thats with then maybe 30 miles of me. Nothing anywhere listed in the Bronx, Long Island, City Island, Manhattan, Queens, Throggs Neck...
So absolutely no way to see when to go fishing or to the beach near me anywhere. There should be at least more breakdowns or and during a ZIP Code...
I dont know if this is just using a different time zone and is not adjustable or what, but its about three hours off of protides, so its worthless to me. I liked it till I realized it had wrong info. I wish it worked because its easy to use.
This thing works great. Tides are shown graphically in feet/ time and with a sine wave to compare day to day. Very accurate.
Works, accurate. But need more locations and information for escambia Bay Area
