Honest comparison · Best-in-class US tide visualisation

Tide Graph Pro vs Fishare.

We respect what Tide Graph Pro does well. Here is exactly where we're different and where we're not.

What Tide Graph Pro owns
  • Tide curve UX is the cleanest in the category
  • NOAA station coverage with predicted vs observed overlays
  • Tide station favourites + alerts
Where Fishare is different
  • A bite score that already factors tide stage, tide range, and rate of change into the answer. Theirs is the tide curve raw — you do the fishing interpretation.
  • Wind, swell, SST, current and the bite score on the same screen as the tide. Theirs is tide only.
  • Global tide harmonics — NOAA + BoM + LINZ. Theirs is US-focused.
  • Free to browse vs their paid app store listing.

When you should stay with Tide Graph Pro

What Fishare doesn't do (yet or by design)

They built the best tide curve in the app store. For pure tide use cases, it's hard to beat. For fishing, the tide alone is one variable of 27 the bite score considers — you need the whole picture, not just the curve.

Frequently asked

Is Fishare really free?

Yes — the live map, bite score, 7-day forecast and spot pages are free to browse with no account. Logging catches and getting push notifications when peaks open requires a free account. There is no paid tier today.

How is Fishare different from Tide Graph Pro?

They built the best tide curve in the app store. For pure tide use cases, it's hard to beat. For fishing, the tide alone is one variable of 27 the bite score considers — you need the whole picture, not just the curve.

Where does the Fishare bite score come from?

A feedforward neural network (27→32→16→1) trained on 2.5M real catches across 1067 species. Validation loss 0.0063. Inputs include wind, swell, tide stage, SST gradient, current shear, moon phase and ~20 more features per hour — not a 1926 Solunar lookup.

Does Fishare have an iOS or Android app?

Fishare is a Progressive Web App (PWA) — open fishare.app in mobile Safari or Chrome, then 'Add to Home Screen'. It runs offline, sends push notifications, and stays in sync without an app-store install. Native iOS / Android builds are on the roadmap.
