Too many invasive ads. I'm deleting it!
Ads are so disruptive the app is not functional!
full screen, full volume ad with no way to close or skip within seconds of opening. does this app even provide tide predictions? I have no idea since I was forced into this ad within 5 seconds of launching the app and was unable to close the ad without force closing the entire app. try 'Tides Near Me' instead for a superior free option
very ugly ads inside
Horribly intrusive ads. I have no idea how well the app itself actually works; I couldn't get past the ads.
tries to sell you game aps and doesn't provide easy way to close or stop adds
constant full screen ads you can't safely touch as they are trying to install crapware
Formerly a 5-star app, now ruined by intrusive ads that hijack your full screen. Uninstalled.
instantly had an ad. deleted
not working
Ads hijack the app
Ruined app with ADs: Changing my positive review from 2013. The app now requires you click through and watch multiple ads without a way to exit the ads without opening them. Renders the add not useful for quickly checking tides while boating or fishing.
No tides, but it opened an AP that took over my phone. Restarted the phone and uninstalled it ! 😳☹️
Fifteen seconds of downloading the app and didn't even get to look up my area and ad blasting so nope ya lost me on this one.
it's a garbage app. Every time you interact with it, it sends you to an advertisement.
doesnt function correctly. gives you tides for places 150 miles away. doesnt search by name despite having the option and the map view is just pins that arent close to where you want to be.
very poor tide charts
I don't have a problem with adds, they pay for the app after all, but one that turns the volume up on my phone while the add plays and won't let me turn it down again is a step to far.
stupid ads, immediately uninstalled
Major avoid - intrusive ads. I had hardly opened the app before some insignificant gaming ad BLAZED out with video and animation. Woke up my spouse ! Will never use this app again.
Apps that have ads are one thing. this app looked good for about 5 seconds, then a pop-up ad took over the app and I was unable to find my way back to the app. Just to be clear, the app's name is "Tide Charts" and I will have nothing else to do with it (uninstalled).
the ads are horrific
Too bad, no location near me (only 4 in all Ireland!)
love the tide chart visualization but the ads are so intrusive that I finally gave up on this app. sorry to have to delete it but I can't stand the intrusive ads.
after used many times...now it keeps auto out...I don't know what the problem
