Have a look at how many partners it sells your data to. I deleted it and went back to the bbc weather app.

When I downloaded it in November it was 531 partners!

Weather apps… I use around 6 and usually they all say different things so often find myself trying to work out 'an average' forecast

I do agree the latest version of metoffice isn't great

I might be wrong, but I had a feeling tide times only appeared on my app when I was near the coast. I live inland so don't usually see them.

Tides chart.com
I use click on an area close and it's 99% right within a couple of minutes and heights are usually spot on
Another I frequently use is tidetimes.org.uk

You can search a different location (such as Perranporth Beach) and it used to show the tide times.

Important update: the carp anglers campaign for air pressure on the met office app (CACFAPOMOA) has been successful. The head honcho's at the met office have listened to our cries and finally seen sense - air pressure is back on the app.

The big take away - don't f*ck around with carp anglers. We'll mobilise quickly and complain loudly on outdated forums and we won't take no for an answer.

Hate the new updated app. They should've left it alone. I rarely even look at it now.

Sorry, late to this thread. I use...
LINKY POO™ https://www.tidetimes.co.uk/
...to get all the tide times for my river fishing

On my iPhone I use Tide Pro

For weather I tend to only really care about rain when setting up/packing up and for that I use the initial screen of AccuWeather which shows a 60min dial and any rain that is forecast within that hour. It's always been very useful so I continue to use it.

Other weather apps, I tend to only glance Apple weather to get a rough 'flavour' of what weather is due. Often it will arrive sooner/later than stated.

Windy can also be useful, shows predicted wind direction over the next hours/day
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
