Offline Functionality and Customization:
Enjoy seamless access even without internet connectivity. The app stores up to 50 recent tide charts offline. Highly customizable widgets (resizable from 1x1 to 5x5) display data as charts or tables, automatically updating daily. Offline access to widget data is also included.
Location-Based Tides and Precise Predictions:
eTide HDF utilizes your current location to display nearby tide information ("tides near me"). Intuitive swipe gestures allow for precise minute-by-minute tide predictions over several days. A movable horizontal line on the tide graph helps determine optimal boat launch and retrieval times, saving your preferred depth for each port.
