Which tide app is accurate

Wed May 15, 2013 3:05 pm

Hey guys, I use two tides apps on my phone and there's always a difference of an hour between them

Irish tides: crap GUI, but possibly more accurate. Maybe not cause its Irish.
Today Dublin north wall: high 15.00

Tide planner: awesome GUI, tonnes of features and alerts but tide is an hour ahead of Irish tides
Today Dublin north wall: high 16.00

Which one is right?

With the irish tides one...it says to add an hour for daylight saving...

Personally, I just google 'tide times' and click on the top result which should take you to the irish times site...it's usually bang on for me!

I guess that explains it then, so they are both pretty spot on then?

I would normally just use the Irish times when going local but most fishing trips for me are two, three days, with no laptop in sight so i rely on my phone

This app here for android works off the Easy-Tides times and puts the hour on for DST. Not sure if its available for iOS though.
