Product Description:

Mr. Tides displays tide and current information for a variety of locations around the world. It can display the day's tides, the week's tides, or the month's tides in two different ways. You select a station via the maps presented by Mr. Tides, or by searching the station list.

What's new in this version:

  • A permissions problem on OS X that was resulting in an apparently locked application has been fixed. Mr. Tides X is now packaged in an installer that includes the documentation, and is installed in the Applications folder with the correct owner and permissions to allow anyone to run it.
  • A new option for formatting the latitude and longitude has been added. You can now pick from several common position formats.
  • Moon phases are displayed again on the month views.
  • Time zones that weren't on the hour were being reset to be on the hour. Now they are used as-is, so places like Australia with a 9 hour 30 minute time zone work correctly.
  • The Web Update function has been completely rewritten. It was badly broken before, but should work now.
  • A method to override incorrect information in the data files has been implemented. Corrections to station names, countries, time zones, and locations are possible.
  • Future support for user-created data files has been implemented. New data files can be added to the /Library/Application Support/Mr. Tides folder.
  • Memory usage has been reduced (slightly) by changing database queries.
  • Speed has been improved (slightly) and more dramatic speed increases are in the works for v2.5.4.

Republic of Ireland not covered. It may be a great Tide Predictor for the rest of you guys but I put to sea from Ireland and we do not exist for Mr. Tides. Have a word with the British Admiralty. They are still giving out tidal information for Ireland for free on the internet.

I have been using Mr. Tides for sometime now, both the X and the 3 versions. I have checked the tide tables that it generates with the local tables and found they match. I recently wrote the author with a suggestion in regards to the calendar feature and he kindly added it to the program, thank you very much.
