Store ratings include star-only taps from in-app prompts, which skew high. The peak and recent figures come only from people who wrote a review, which skews low. Compare each against itself: the drop is the signal, and a big gap between the two usually means heavy rating prompting is masking unhappy users.

Pro version not working

★ · v6.3 · Oct 1, 2026

I have the lifetime pro version working on my iPhone and iPad, but it does not work on my Vision Pro

Broken

★ · v27.0.2 · Sep 27, 2026

crash on MacOS 15.7.3

broken

★ · v7.4 · Sep 7, 2026

Last update on Intel Mac broke the app.

No Family Sharing

★ · v7.3.12 · Jul 18, 2026

I chose this app in part because the App Store indicates the app supports family sharing. There is no aspect of this app that does that, as far as I can tell. I wrote to Tide Guide twice to ask for confirmation whether the app supports family sharing, and I received no response. This app is not special enough to warrant the subscription fee if not shared.

Location feature sucks

★ · v7.3.11 · Jul 13, 2026

Cannot manually choose a location when the auto feature is not working, I’m getting rid of this app

Widget Use

★★ · v7.3.5 · Jun 4, 2026

So to use the widget on my Home Screen requires the pro version? Not sure I understand the logic in that but I’ll use another application there that is free. Maybe it’s just me, but I would think you would want me looking at your widget regularly and giving consideration to buying the pro version but that’s just me.

App Broken

★ · v7.3.2 · May 27, 2026

This app has been crashing for over two years and the developers have no interest in fixing it. Do not waste any money on this!

Zero Support

★★ · v7.0.14 · Dec 18, 2025

App no longer shows up on Watch. Fails to install on watch from App Store. App is not in the list of Available Apps under the Watch app on iPhone. iPhone and Watch have been reset. I reached out to support on 11/30/25 and still have no response.

Inaccurate

★★ · v7.0.8 · Nov 5, 2025

I have 4 tide apps across android and iPhone. Occasionally, this app does NOT sync 100% with the others.

Apple Watch lags

★ · v7.0.2 · Sep 17, 2025

App is ok, Apple Watch app lags so bad it is un-useable. Not sure how this was app of the year with this oversight.

cannot use as widget

★ · v6.34 · Sep 16, 2025

no widget, therefore it is useless.

Weak / poor UX

★ · v6.44 · Aug 31, 2025

Not useful and poorly organized. Everything you need requires a subscription. Don’t bother!

Data is not loading

★ · v6.44 · Aug 19, 2025

I repeat the data is not loading!

Bugs

★★ · v6.42 · Jul 1, 2025

Been a user for 1 year. Lots of bugs with the Apple watch app. Seems like I have to uninstall the app and re-install often. The complications often do not load. When you enter the app from the complication the app often gets stuck and will not load my locations.

stop asking for feedback

★ · v6.6.21 · Feb 11, 2025

stop asking for feedback Or add a feature to the app to disable asking for feedback

Bait and switch

★★ · v6.6.15 · Dec 24, 2024

Purchased this for its features and enjoyed using it as needed to plan trips to our coast. Now the information is limited to a few days and I would have to buy a subscription to see more. I get the subscription thing, but changing the terms on existing owners is absolute trash. Buying a different app now and regret to see another good thing ruined by scammy rate changes while taking away features or purchased goods.

San Juaquin River at Antioch Ca

★ · v6.6.3 · Sep 23, 2024

The Tide Guide said low tide at 1:49 pm But I arrived at 2pm and it was high tide??? Trying to figure out why? September 23 2024

Watch app stopped working after 2 days

★ · v6.4.2 · Aug 2, 2024

The Watch App stopped displaying anything after just 2 days. Just a black rectangle. Nothing. It’s completely useless.

Screen freezing

★ · v6.3.7 · Jul 14, 2024

Everytime i open up the search bar to look at locations my screen freeze’s only happens on this app and kind of take the whole purpose out if it

Problems with watch and slow

★★ · v6.3.7 · Jun 29, 2024

I love this app when it works. I use it mostly on my watch It works 75% of the time on my Apple Watch. It complications don’t show and don’t update. When you click on the complication, it takes at least a minute to load the tide chart.

Not accurate

★ · v6.2.3 · May 8, 2024

Tide chart is off by two hours when compared to every other app/web site that I check.

I paid for the lifetime

★ · v6.2.3 · Apr 24, 2024

I need a 30 day view for my work. This says it has a 30 day view. It doesn’t. I’ve contacted support several times and they still have not responded. So, here’s your one-star review. You’ve earned it.

Not accurate, buggy

★★ · v6.2.3 · Apr 17, 2024

The simplicity of the design is great, but since the data doesn’t match other vetted and trusted sources, and because it crashes during a simple routine I won’t be using this app. Too bad, would have been cool to have a widget displaying tides and swells at a glance!! But can’t trust it… Using Surfline and NOAA website to compare: This app doesn’t provide accurate data for TIDE TIMES (high and low times off by several minutes) This app doesn’t provide accurate data for SWELL HEIGHT and DIRECTION. It’s simply wrong be at least a foot and the swell direction is wrong. Also: it crashes when trying to add a new location: tap the area to type in a new location and the keyboard doesn’t pop up. Tap to cancel gets no response, then tapping more causes app to unexpectedly close. Why would anyone pay a premium price for an app with data you can’t trust and that crashes during a simple, essential routine? Makes me wonder how apps and developers get added to the spotlight in the App Store…

Apple app costs $$

★ · v6.1.8 · Nov 30, 2023

Using on Apple Watch costs $$ Completely stupid. I’m deleting this app!

Wrong data

★ · v6.1.8 · Nov 29, 2023

Watch app doesn't display the same data as the phone app. Also watch complications are displaying wrong data. For example water temperature is displaying wrong values in watch face complications. All this is true for both stations in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

The opportunity

What would it take to build a viable competitor, what would it cost to run every month, and a prompt to get started. Generated from the reviews on file; one LLM call per brief. Set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY for a real brief; the stub only fills in a template.
