anyone else use UK tides on android? mine has stopped working

[Burnham Bob]

This is a great app and has always worked until now on my tablet and my phone. Great thing is it shows a tidal curve and you can see how much rise or fall is left until the next tide which is really useful for anchoring.

Trouble is it's stopped working. Marine Weather also stopped showing tidal data and they told me that their 'feed' from the NOAA (?) server was down. Their tides have now come back.

Anyone else use UK Tides and is yours working?

I've also noticed that the tide on both ChronGlobal and TidalChrono is not working on my iPhone and iPad. These are from the same place. Both tell me to check my network settings, although UK Tides and anyTide UK are working normally.

Mine's not working either. I'll have a look at Absolute tides.

Snap. Boatie still works, although it did have a few hours of outage on the day the OP became the OP.

I have been using Meteo Consult Marine App on my phone - be careful as I have noticed that tidal data is based on French Local time! No response from them despite several emails. Today (Sat) showing HW Harwich as 16:33 but it is actually 15:17 BST

Yes and no, with the usual behaviour when it's offline: all dates 0/0, sun and moon rise and set to default values.

It's not in the Play Store any more, but something with a very similar icon is, called "Absolute Tides" which is a free app requiring paid for data and which has been out since July.

Regarding the UK Tides app, yes, I used the widget and it stopped working. I am thinking that this has something to do with it...

The app in question hasn't been mentioned but the UK Tides app could be one of the ones that has been affected by the NWS blocking access.
