Key takeaways for My Tide Times - Tables & Chart
Where is it heading?
Casual maritime weather traffic is consolidating around apps that offer visual trends rather than simple text-based tables. My Tide Times remains in maintenance mode, which leaves the app exposed to competitors that prioritize visual-first UX and flexible update cycles.
- Mandatory update gating in the latest release prevents access to data in low-connectivity areas, which directly erodes the app's core offline-first value proposition.
- Recent updates focused on stability and bug fixes, with no expansion of the visual-chart features that power-users consistently request in reviews.
The SWOT
- Offline-first storage architecture ensures utility in remote coastal zones
- 9,000-station global database creates a high barrier to entry
- Simple interface design drives high user satisfaction
- Develop a premium subscription tier to fund high-fidelity visual charts
- Expand currents prediction coverage beyond US and Canada markets

The app's reliance on mandatory updates is a hidden churn engine…
Read the full takeSince the last report: The app maintains a stable, maintenance-only development cycle while facing increased scrutiny regarding mandatory update friction and a lack of visual-first features.
Bottom line
My Tide Times wins on data reliability and offline utility, but mandatory update friction and lack of visual charts create a vulnerability to more modern rivals, so the PM should prioritize a visual-chart update to defend the power-user base.
