Note to current users: The Better Weather update allows you to choose the tide station or weather buoy for your favorite locations. You’ll need to take a moment to add your locations again in order to take advantage of these new features.

You can add additional locations as long as you've created a free app account and are logged in. To add a new location, tap the "Add Location" button at the bottom of your app homescreen. This opens a search bar, where you can enter the city and state for the location you want added. Simply select the location, and it will appear on your homescreen. Please note, a maximum of five locations can be displayed at one time.

You can specify the source of your tidal information for the home screen by tapping "Tides", which will bring you to a map view with red pins indicating tide stations in the available area. Tapping your preferred NOAA-provided tide station will let you see specific information regarding it. If that is the station you wish to use on the home screen, tap the green button "Set as My Tide Station". The next time you navigate"Back" to the home screen, you'll see the next available tidal info from your chosen location.

You can specify the source of your buoy information for the home screen by tapping "Buoys", which will bring you to a map view with red pins indicating buoy stations in the available area. Tapping your preferred NOAA-provided buoy station will let you see specific information regarding it. If that is the station you wish to use on the home screen, tap the green button "Set as My Buoy Station". The next time you navigate "Back" to the home screen, you’ll see the next available buoy info from your chosen location.

This information is now available under the "Info" tab, located at the top of the screen.
