That uses the UK Admiralty Easy tide site which should be accurate but sometimes it differs from the tide tables. One example showed over half an hour difference for high tide at Galway compared to the tide tables. This seems to be the same for all the apps but some seem to be way out.

I'll try and fix that for you

I tried tidetech for a month, to be honest I wanted to try and get detailed tide flows for different coastal areas instead of HW/LW. it only seems to have vague updates for Ireland and extremely detailed maps for bays that host mainstream racing like the solent,hobart & San Fran.
The tide times are accurate but at nearly a tenner a month, id be happier buying a local tide table book at the start of the season.

Tide 7 seems accurate. From what I gather the accurate apps use the UK Admiralty system which costs so free apps don't use it.
