eTide HDF: Your All-in-One Tide Chart App and Widget
eTide HDF provides comprehensive tide information worldwide, offering detailed tide charts and predictions for over 10,000 locations across the US, UK, Canada, and more. Forecast data extends several months into the future.
Offline Functionality and Customization:
Enjoy seamless access to the last 50 viewed tide charts even without an internet connection. Highly customizable widgets (resizable from 1x1 to 5x5) display data as charts or tables, automatically updating to reflect the current day. Offline access to widget data is also included.
Location-Aware and Interactive:
The app automatically detects your current location and displays nearby tide information (“tides near me”). Intuitive swipe gestures allow for precise minute-by-minute tide predictions for the coming days. A movable horizontal line on the graph helps determine optimal boat launch and retrieval times based on desired depth, with depth settings saved per port.
Advanced Features and Accessibility:
eTide HDF supports multiple time zones (local, telephone, and GMT) and various height units (feet, inches, meters, centimeters). A distance measurement tool calculates distances between points in miles, kilometers, and nautical miles. Customize chart and table colors and transparency, with individual station colors in widgets. Choose between day and night themes and adjust font size for optimal readability.
Sunrise, sunset, moonrise, and moonset times are displayed in both table and diagram formats with a toggle to show/hide. Tooltips provide quick access to station data directly on the map. Easily share charts and tables via email or messaging apps.
Important Note: The tide data in eTide HDF is not intended for navigational purposes during voyages.
