We're a very small operation, so replies may take a day or two — but every message is read. Reports from people actually on the water are the most useful thing we get.
The tidal arrows look coarse / there aren't many of them.
The free version shows a reduced-resolution version of the model. A subscription unlocks the
full-detail chart, along with the course builder and 15-minute time stepping.
I've subscribed but still see the coarse chart.
The full dataset downloads once after subscribing, so you need a connection the first time.
After that it's stored on your device and works offline. If it hasn't appeared, check your
connection and reopen the app.
I've reinstalled / changed device and lost my subscription.
Open the upgrade screen and tap Restore purchases. Your subscription is tied to
your Apple ID, not to the app install.
Can I use this to navigate?
No. Tidey shows modelled predictions and is for guidance only. Always rely on official charts,
local pilotage guidance and your own judgement on the water.
Which area does it cover?
The Solent — the west, south and east coasts of the Isle of Wight, plus Southampton Water and
the approaches.
Subscriptions are handled by Apple, not by us. To view, change or cancel one, open the Settings app on your iPhone, tap your name at the top, then Subscriptions. We can't cancel or refund a subscription on your behalf — Apple handles all billing.
