Purchased this to use for tides, moon and sun as I live on the coast and am a photographer. It provides all the info I need but the interface could be a little more refined.It is easy to criticise when the work is done and my comments should not detract from an excellent and useful app at a reasonable price. Great database with every place imaginable and overall clear displays and easy to use. I really like the way the sun and moon cycles are shown graphically on the horizontal display. Some small adjustments as mentioned below would get my 5 stars. - Recommended anyway.
1) The size of the date and time font on the main screen is too small. There is lots of room to have it a little larger as if one scrolls across to the next or previous day the size is good.
2) The icons for the sun and moon are really a little too small too, especially for the moon as the phases are shown, which is really excellent, but are difficult to read.Perhaps put larger icons of these phases on the message that pops up when one touches them.
3) I am often inland where there is no tide data required but I still require sun and moon data. It would be very useful if one could enter long lat and a name of the location and just get this astronomical data without the tides, this would make Aye Tides a killer app for landscape photography.
4) It would be useful to be able to have the option of having the app start in graphic mode with a vertical or horizontal screen as this gives very quick tide info without having to read all the numbers or tilt the ipod to landscape mode for this to appear.
5) It seems that the main data screen should fit easily on the page without being truncated on the bottom giving the need to scroll.
