Wolfram Tides Calculator App Reviews

Update the app with retina graphics, IOS 6 for the iPhone 5. Great app !

As it is, the app is almost useless to me. Not much than a poor interface to some information from wolframs alpha. And, whats worse, no support for tides in brazil, the whole reason for me buying the app.

Practically no locations in Europe available. Want my money back

Very nice app but european tide data is missing, in my instance Wangerooge, Lower Saxony, Germany. Rest of the functionality is very Good.

Does not find local information (Claims there are no tidal information stations near by) In fact I am sitting within 5 Km of two tidal stations (Vancouver, Canada) Expected better from Wolfram…

If you are looking for tides in Canada, this APP is useless. I wasted my money on it, although it was only $.99. They should have advertised that its only for the US.

With no advisory on being US-only and a pointless redesign of basic iOS UI features, this app is a clumsy neutered 99c web app that does what the web version will do for free (in the US)

I bought this this app thinking that it would include Canada but with NO advisory I am now very disappointed!!!! Waste of money!!!!!!!!!!

Waste of time and money. Should be a way to get a refund.

claims world data but major west coast canadian stations not represented.....waste of one dollar

What a waste of a dollar. Has no information for the west coast of Canada. Even the major coastal cites arent in here. I want my money back...I should have read the reviews before buying.

Not one town near my home is listed. Useless.

Useless outside the USA. Even boundary waters have no stations outside the US. This isnt reflected in the item description.

There was only one tide station for all of Vancouver Island (too big for the furthest north tide station to be accurate for a location at the south end!). It would be nice if there was a list of nearby stations that appeared in a drop down to choose from too in case you dont see one for your area.

The blurb says "can... provide data from around the world". However, after purchase, it said that every one of the major city names I entered in Japan were "not near a known tide station" - including the capital, Tokyo. This is false. (I know this because I then bought a Japanese-language app - and it knows tidal results even for small towns.) The blurb should state exactly which countries are covered. I wanna refund.

There seems to be a conflict in computed values with another iPad app, Tide Graph HD, and I will continue to evaluate. I suppose the best way to check is to have both on hand and for any time and location, check the computed value against actual observations and then decide what is the best one for you to use. If one does a comparison test, be careful as Tide Graph has more locations for a given general area vs the Wolfram app.

I am disappointed that the tide info computation doesnt use my precise location from the GPS. It is using a reporting station miles away. I could easily have obtained that info using Safari. Maybe there is a setting I didnt find. Tried it on my iPad 3G and iPhone 4.

Im sitting a quarter mile from a US Coast Guard Station. Tide reports for that location are readily available- but not with is app. The closest location the app recognizes is over 24 miles away. This app is useless for me.

Seems to be completely wrong in CA, to the extent that its predicting high tide when all other sources are predicting high tide.

What gives? The app is not functioning at all...tried deleting, reinstalling , & even rebooting...nothing works...what have you charged me for?? Im totally disappointed...Pls. issue a refund at once!!!
