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 and the bite score on the same screen as the tide — plus surface currents across AU east and NZ. 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?

The forecast side is free forever — live map, bite score, 7-day forecast and spot pages, no account needed to browse. The ocean-intelligence layers (SST with isotherms and break detection, HSI habitat heatmap, chlorophyll, subsurface temperatures, altimetry) are the single paid tier: US$5.99/mo or US$49.99/yr across every covered region, with a free look over a window of your own local water.

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 multi-input neural network scored per species, per hour — not a Solunar lookup. Inputs include wind, swell, tide stage, barometric pressure and trend, where the warm-cold water edges are, what the current is doing, moon phase, and a couple of dozen other features per hour. It is decision support built from live conditions, not a guarantee — we publish no accuracy figure, and some days the score is high and the water is dead.

Does Fishare have an iOS or Android app?

Yes — the native iOS app is on the App Store (search is still indexing; the direct link is apps.apple.com/app/fishare/id6783726939), and it is free for everyone: there is no paid-tier gate on the app itself. A native Android app is on its way to Google Play. Until it lands, Fishare runs on Android as a Progressive Web App: open fishare.app in Chrome, then 'Add to Home Screen' — offline support and push notifications included.
