Tide Clock is for boaters, fisherman, sailors, surfers, sun bathers, swimmers, kayakers, water skiers, paddle boarders, wind surfers, sheller's, and generally any non-landlubber or beach goers’. Tide Clock is just that - a clock that keeps track of the tides. The latest version is now super easy to set.
Version 1.2.0 – Now
Easy to set with your finger
With version 1.2.0 you can now set the tide with a touch of
your finger. Just enable Easy Tide
Setting Mode in Settings, and
with your finger move the tide hand to the location of the tide.
There are other minor fixes and enhancements as well as some
enhancements for tablets.
Please remember, your Android Tide Clock is a clock. If the
tides are consistent in your location you can go months or even years without
needing to adjust it. At many locations, like the east coast of the United States, tide clocks can run accurately for years. Your location may be different. If
you not sure, check with your local marina or boating supply store. They often
sell desk and wall style tide clocks.
Tide Clock is not for navigation purposes, but can be used to keep track of the tide for water and beach related activities. It is your responsibility to set and check your tide setting.
Tide Clock includes setting options, color themes, and a place for the name of your boat and your location. It does not use excessive battery, and does not require GPS or data downloads. It has been tested to work on tablets and phones alike.
Tide Clock is only $.99 US in Android Market.

Great little app but I have a question, if the 'numeric tide setting' is adjusted up or down does it make it more accurate?
