What's the best tides app for the eastern seaboard of Australia? I am using Android.

The tide feature imbedded within the Navionics app is pretty good and includes all published primary and secondary locations.

Thanks so much. I will look into it. I have Navionics with Australian charts but have not used it much. See the tide information there now. Will need to do some experimentation to see what carries over offline. Any tips?

While I do use Navionics tides if I have it open at the time,my goto app is DGS Tides. It's far better!

Re: Best tides app for Australia?

For tides on the QLD coast, I prefer the Bureau of Meteorology table as republished by the QLD govt in pdf:

http://www.msq.qld.gov.au/~/media/ms...tidetables.pdf

Or, for particular ports, see: Queensland Tide Tables (Maritime Safety Queensland)

I have been using the tide predictions system which comes with OpenCPN on the Queensland coast for a couple of years now. I find it particularly handy for anchoring.
