The Wolfram Tides Calculator will become your go-to guide for tide information. Calculate the present tide or todays high and low tides, do historical computations, or plan your vacation using the tide forecast. The app can automatically detect your current location or provide data from around the world.
Includes bonus extras:
- Sunrise, sunset, and moon phases
- Properties of oceans, including the speed of sound therein
- Sun exposure information and UV forecasts
- Weather forecast, history, and current look-ups
- Pressure under water computations
Tide predictions proceed by collecting data from tide measurement stations and then extrapolating using a standard mathematical and physical model. This means that the Wolfram Tides Calculator can only give historical, present, and future tide information for locations for which there are tide stations. Presently Wolfram|Alpha has information from more than 2,000 tide stations around the world. If you believe that there is a tide station near you, but we are not reporting data from it, please post the location of the tide station, including a URL if possible. For more information on tide predictions see, for example: http://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/predhist.html.
The Wolfram Tides Calculator is powered by the Wolfram|Alpha computational knowledge engine and is created by Wolfram Research, makers of Mathematica—the worlds leading software system for mathematical research and education.
The Wolfram Tides Calculator draws on the computational power of Wolfram|Alphas supercomputers over a 3G, 4G, or Wi-Fi connection.
Pros and cons of Wolfram Tides Calculator app for iPhone and iPad
Wolfram Tides Calculator app good for
Update the app with retina graphics, IOS 6 for the iPhone 5. Great app !
Very nice app but european tide data is missing, in my instance Wangerooge, Lower Saxony, Germany. Rest of the functionality is very Good.
Some bad moments
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
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!!!!!!!!!!
Usually Wolfram Tides Calculator iOS app used & searched for
ocean tides,
current tide,
and other. So, download free Wolfram Tides Calculator .ipa to run this nice iOS application on iPhone and iPad.
