While the AyeTides app is my preferred stand-alone tides and currents app with good functions and a plentiful tidal stations, other less expensive tide apps may meet your needs. Here are three:
tideApp- Free - but may include ads
- Includes currents
- Lots of tide stations
- Not as attractive or as easy to use
- Can be difficult to differentiate among tide stations with the same names
- $0.99
- Includes currents
- Auto-selects tide station nearest you
- Links to maps to show tide station location
- Requires connectivity for some information (a risk even in some near-shore areas)
- $1.99
- Does not include currents
- Attractive display (see image above)
- Fair number of tide stations easily selected
Here's a full review of yet another tide app, the Tidal Chronoscope.
Another nice app to have at hand when sailing is the Boater's Pocket Reference App.
