alternatives to garmin navionics

[Birdseye]

I have had navionics on my phone since day 1 - initially free updates, then no updates and now it wont even load the original charts. I never use it on the boat but its tidal flow daya was useful for planning races at home.
Not the first time that Garmin have been heavy handed - the original map download was lifetime. But |I am not willing to waste time arguing with them. Is there another tidal flow source that is FOC? Or do I have to fall back on paper charts and diamonds?

Imray Tides Planner. Not free, but cheap enough and very good. Even has raster stream atlases which update automatically in hourly intervals. UKHO tidal

I've got a Garmin GPSMap 78S handheld which I load with maps from openseamap extracted to Garmin format using bbbike.org and pop €10 a time into their PayPal account to help keep the service running.

Use as a back up, anchor alarm etc to installed Boating app on phone/tablet.

What phone do you have? i-Boating includes one week tide & stream prediction for free.
You need to pay only for charts.

There is also a youtube video on this.

Excuse my ignorance but does it work offline?

Absolute Tides is an alternative to Imray if you're only interested in the UK. A few quid for an annual license. Works offline. I use it on Android, no idea about iPhonys.
