Ayetides Xl App Reviews

All you need for tides.

The app is very handy

Nice integration with iNavX. No muss no fuss. Works well

Works as advertised. Have used Mr. Tides on Mac for years. Nice to have it's kid brother on iOS. Would like full screen daily graph in landscape, but that's just nitpicking.

This app only shows tide data from real time tide locations or historical tide locations. If you are looking for the tide tables for a location outside the US that publishes a tide table, don't buy this app. Example: the nearest tide option is more than 500 miles away from Phuket in this app. Waste of $9.99. Don't buy.

Good easily accessible tide info

Enjoyed the original Ayetides app for iPhone/iPad for couple of years. Now it won't run on iPad. New XL version displays entire month of individual day icons on opening your tidal information for your region. Problem is, in HD it is too small and window will not enlarge for normal viewing. Cannot configure colors, etc. Not worthy of $9.95 upgrade. Don't waste your money, use your iPhone with original program. FredC

Aye Tides is a wonderful program that I use frequently. When they upgraded for the new iPhone the program wouldn't load. Their support staff is fabulous and have worked with me first to keep access to the app, and then finding a fix. And they did it on a Sunday. Above and beyond any other tech support I have experienced. Thank you for your dedication.

I use this app all time and have appreciated it thus far but wanting to see a few features: AirPrint support with a few standard report formats. Ability to search for specific tidal/current conditions at a specific station. eg. When will tide be below 2' during daylight hours, when will slack of less than .2 knots or current last for more than 10 minutes during the hours of X' etc. This is great for vacation planning for besting diving conditions, beach combing, fishing, clamming, etc.

Get this one. It's great!

I have been using AyeTides for several years on the eastern US and Bahamas. It is very reliable and integrates seamlessly with my SeaiQ navigation app. The user interface is intuitive and simple.

I purchased AyeTides XL at the beginning of a cruise from Everett, WA to the Broughton Islands near the NW end of Vancouver Island. Initially it worked well, however, once I left the immediate area where I downloaded AyeTides, it became enormously frustrating because it was difficult to find current or tide stations. If you travel only a modest distance since the last time you used AyeTides with Internet, instead of a map with all tide and current locations obvious, you are greeted with a sheet of graph paper like grid with C’s, G’s, and push pins spread out across them. There are no labels to tell you what all these items are. If you are in an area with lots of information, there may be 50 unlabeled points on the screen. If you try to scroll with your finger, the map (if you have it) or the graph paper changes to a table which may start out with tides in Ghana or some place on the other side of the world. Most of the time when you select “GPS” to set your position, AyeTides does not recognize the GPS even though other software does. Manually setting your position almost always results in the “graph paper” grid display. If you are able to find the tide or current you want, they appear to be correct except for Johnstone Strait where the predictions were badly in error. Save your money and get another program that doesn’t try to do the whole world.

Easy to use and complete! Easy to find locations with several methods.

Great app! The best part of buying this app was that when I ran into trouble after purchase and download, I received excellent customer service assistance. Runs flawlessly for me now.

I've used AyeTides (XL) for several years, from when I used a iBook running GPSNavX and now on a generation 4 iPad running iNavX. We do extensive cruising of the waters from the Puget Sound, the Inside Passage of British Columbia and Alaska and have trusted AyeTides XL all the way. Because of the vagaries of the waters, we keep three up to date tide or current manuals on board. Each manual or book is from different source, such as a government printing office or commercial outlets. When the waters ahead may get narrow or dangerous all three manuals are on the table and being compared for times and speed of flow. It is not unusual for the three sources to disagree by as much as 12% of the time. However, I've found that AyeTides XL is the most accurate of the bunch! AyeTides is easy to use, dependable and stable. If there was one thing I wish it could do it present current direction and speed arrows on the chart presentation. It would make a very good program great! Mike Oswald Kirkland, WA

i navx requires this app to do tides in their excellent marine nav. app. I admit I made a mistake by putting this this app. on my iPad for planning. figuring the data would transfer like inavx to my iPhone. oops. wrong you have to buy again. it is a great tides app but i will not pay another 9.99 for data that is available for free. I will pay another developer for a tides app that works on both. "bouy data" is good as well. try that if you want tides both places would have gotten 5 stars except for this expensive anomaly

Great app for displaying stations. Navigation links and/or menus are essentially lacking where needed in this app. It will be easy to fix but must be fixed before this is ready for prime time. From list, there should always be a link to find favorites, nearest, recent, tides only, currents only, all. Whenever a station name is displayed allow one touch to go to that station. Put BACK link in upper left corner to get back to a general menu, and construct a general menu page. Also I would like to see a clear distinction between current stations and tide stations beyond just bold face type. The graphic display of tides and currents should be dramatically different in color or other appearance. Finally, the direction of ebb or flood should be shown by a compass direction displayed by an arrow in a north up clock face. This icon should appear everywhere a current station appears on the map. And you might as well make the arrow broader or longer depending upon the magnitude of current value. Thanks.

Great for fishing and sailing

We have used the standard version for several years with reliable results and without the need for Internet access. The graphical representation makes it easy to predict water depth while anchored in "skinny" water. Now the map display with the XL version makes locating a needed station that much easier... Way easier than using lists, especially when unfamiliar with the geographic names. The two day view means no more flipping back and forth between today and tomorrow.
