Which Tide Height and Stream android app do people now find good?

I use Absolute Tides and would recommend it.

Like @Plum I use Absolute Tides as it uses the same algorithm as Reeds.

There is a problem with the October 2023 onward figures as there is a glitch in data when you open a day to see the tidal curve. I've emailed the developers, but they must be on their holidays.

Absolute for me as well

Absolute tides, which uses admiralty data. But only gives British Isles if that is an issue.
I get the crash for dates after Oct 24 also

I also use Absolute, and particularly like the widget that sits on my phone's homescreen, displaying that day's tide times.

I struggle to use my Breton Plotter on the wee screen and find it easier to reach for the tidal atlas.

Last year I was kindly given the 1983 edition of Yachtsman's Manual of Tides by Michael Reeves-Fowkes and apart from the 18th Century writing style have found them to be very accurate.

The Reeve Fowkes tidal streams are the best around ( from those I have used) but sadly Absolute Tides, whilst being an excellent app, fails to include Cherbourg tide times which Reeve Fowkes is based on. Now, if there was an app which incorporated Reeves Fowkes tidal streams ....

Cherbourg would need to be in the UK for Absolute Tides to see them 'in scope'.

Does HMHO calculate tide times for Cherbourg? I don't see them on EasyTide.

I still prefer using HMHO tide atlases, but that might be because I am used to them. At least with Reeves Fowkes I have a simply way of doing tide calculations when visiting France.
