User level: Level 1 (20 points)I just updated to watchOS27. The Tides app I was using is no longer allowing me to use it as a complication on my apple watch (series 11) It no longer shows as an available app for my watch. It is still free to use on my phone. It is this Tide app by 7th Gear (there are many but most require a membership).

Perhaps patience has paid off. Version 3.1.0 of Tide Charts Near Me has just appeared on the App Store which indicates an update (at the time of writing this post) of 17 hours ago. I can now use the app for a complication on my apple watch which lets me see low/high tide at a glance.

Check the app store. What I see from 7th gear is called Tide Charts (same logo). It also indicates it was last updated 4 years ago. Not a good sign. You might want to contact the vendor and see if they have a solution or plan to release an update.

thanks, Kilgore-Trout. I contacted the vendor yesterday - we'll see if they respond. my husband did not update his watchOS and is still able to use the app as a complication. I am trying Tide Alert now which seems quite good.

Tide Alert was good but perhaps a little too sophisticated for my liking. Also I didn't realize there were so many ways to display tide data and Tide Alert used MLLW which is different than what we use in Canada (chart datum). The new version of Tide Charts Near Me lets the user choose from 6 different local tide tables.

Bummer! 😢
I like that Tides app, and it clock style complication.
