I’ve been using tides near me for several years now. It has been reliable, accurate, and most importantly, easy to use for planning fishing days, boat trips, and even dock building days.

Even with the free version, ads are unobtrusive and fit aesthetically in the simple design. (Which hasn’t changed much in years and why would it? It’s great.) This is a 5 star app for its design. Others fall short of its simplicity and efficiency. Note: I was not encouraged or incentivized in any way to write this review.
