Just as with MacENC and Mr. Tides, iNavX and AyeTides are a perfect pairing. Thanks to Rich and August for your work on both. You're making life on the water that much safer and more convenient.
After a couple of days of real-world use with AyeTides, I have a couple of observations.
1) On the Station page, I really like the idea of the gray, black, red color coding for past, previous, and next events. On my iPhone, however, the gray is barely distinguishable from the black, and I would like to see a bit more contrast between the two. It would make a good idea that much usable.
2) As was commented in an App store review, it would be helpful to have the date listed on every station screen. The date are shown when you swipe to past and future events, but I would like to see it posted on the current station screen as well, for simple reinforcement and continuity. When you switch to graph mode (which I use all the time) the dates are not listed at all, which can be a bit disorienting, particularly when you move forward or back in time.
But overall, these are small quibbles for a fine piece of work.
Thanks,
Collin
