UKTides

It's simply the best iPhone tides app.

If you need tide heights, daylight times, tide direction and slack water periods across the UK, then you need this app.

It shows complete tide information for over 700 ports and 1000 tide stream locations around the UK. It provides the latest UK Hydrographic Office tidal predictions for up to a year in the future. Detailed 24 hour tide height predictions, astronomical data, tide tables, tidal stream directions and slack water times. Simple, clear user interface. Ideal for all sea activities, but built specifically to plan scuba diving tide details, slack water and daylight conditions for long term planning.

It's been designed to be simple and quick to use, feature rich and fast. I use it all the time for SCUBA dive and boat expedition planning. I make a loss on it, but it's too useful to me to care!

For any date up to a year away, for hundreds of easy to locate points around the UK, I can see:

• tide heights, every 5 minutes for a 24 hour period
• tidal means for the location (LAT, MHWS, MLWN etc.)
• High and Low water times and heights
• whether its neaps or spring tides
• times for all phases of night and daylight
• traditional tide tables
• speed and direction of tide streams at nearby locations at 5 minute intervals
• periods of slack water

In addition, the app supports Night Shift for easy viewing in the dark, up to 6 favourite ports for quick access, easy screenshot sharing through all your media channels and it is supported by an extensive support website to get you started. It also gracefully handles many of the more exotic UK tide locations which other apps fail on.
