iPad Tides

Tucabo — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 10:16:46 +0000

The Tides app now supports the iPad. This is a free update for all Tides Planner 10 and Day Tides users (*), so the same app now runs in both iPhone and iPad.

We have also added some improvements:
- Tidal streams/currents (Europe) show strength in color.
- The minimum depth indicator moves with the scale automatically. Use this feature to assess depth for different charted depths.
- Shortcut to favourites from front screen.

(*) The 2009 Tides Planner Plus app will be updated in the next few weeks for full iPad support.

Walking the dog at the beach in Oregon

Tucabo — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 08:03:18 +0000

Catherine in Oregon uses the tides app for a great relaxing pursuit… ‘I have a house at the beach and love to walk my dogs at low tide. Your app
is pretty good. I’d love to be able to scroll either forward or backward to see the tides for adjacent days.’
The dog likes the exercise!

Currents now available – Europe

Tucabo — Sat, 17 Apr 2010 10:25:18 +0000

Tides version 2.0.
Tidal streams/currents are now available in Tides Planner 10, and we have also updated users of last year’s Tides Planner Plus. Thank you for all your feedback on our beta version. Tidal stream predictions are based on the hourly based system which is the standard of the IHO and used on charts. The geographical range covers Ireland, the UK, Belgium, Holland and part of German and Danish waters. In future we will add currents for France, parts of Australia and other countries.

Make a basic plan with tide heights and currents, both of which can be emailed from the app.
