AyeTides XL for Negative User Reviews

✓ Aye Tides MalfunctionBEWARE!! First of all, imagine you purchased this app and needed support. There is an invitation on this page to go to their support page, but guess what, there is no email address, no phone number - so just what does "support" mean here? When I first purchased this program it worked fine but after the last iPad update it would not load. Since there is no way to get in touch with them I proceeded to do what worked with other apps failures, namely remove the app and reload. This I did, but it still didn't work. So I loaded it on my iphone and it works OK there. The surprise was I have been billed for 2 downloads (2 * $9.99)..BubbyLuVersion: 1.4.2

✓ No current data in EuropeOK graphics but beware that there is no working current data for Europe and no warning anywhere in the app description that this is the case. So if you purchase iNavx and Navionics Gold Charts, don't expect yomsee data for current stations. Confirmed with Ayetides developer 4 Nov 2010..SkyePlayerVersion: 0

✓ Beware: far fewer points than advertisedThis 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..JoeMandatoryNicknameVersion: 1.5.2

✓ Warning not for iPhoneI 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.Cap'n dfVersion: 1.3.3

✓ Enormously FrustratingI 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..AbiologistVersion: 2.4.1

✓ Ok but needs UK tidal flowsCan see its potential but really doesn't go all the way for uk/European users. Can't be that hard to add!.DisconicoVersion: 1.3.2

✓ Fix app navigationGreat 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..DocChicVersion: 2.2.7

✓ Aye it's crapOne to be avoided. Does not link from chart to specific tidal station. Does not have Current information and what it does have is course and inaccurate..Graeme53Version: 2.2.7
