tide.info : real-time tide forecasts

Our friend Guillaume Bolo, the first in France to have offered for many years a very elaborate web interface presenting SHOM predictions – tide.info – is also the developer of the excellent app marée info for iPad, iPhone and Apple Watch. Copied but never equaled by SHOM itself, who ended up giving up, he will soon offer us a superb evolution…

Search for ports will be accessible by a map showing the stations accompanied by a real-time tide gauge that look great.

But unlike AyeTides - global tides application which I assure the French version - the map remains available offline, it is built-in the application.

One tap on the icon of a station and you get instant essential information at a glance. The label features the symbols for quick access to detail windows : Tide Clock, tidalgraph and calendar of coefficients.

Only missing in this excellent application is to adapt to 'Slide Over' and 'Split View' iOS 11 function to come close to perfection. Recall that the data is provided under SHOM license through an annual fee charged to developer, which requires a subscription to the data accessible in the application (to 2,49 € up to 6,99 € depending on the duration). The SHOM is not yet submitted, Seems, to the’Open Data.
