Tide times in UTC
-
Hi. I have noticed that the tide times are being displayed in Zulu (UTC) time, even though my app is set to display local time. It’s been like this for a while. Is anyone looking into this?

Hello,
Currently, tide times are only available in UTC (Z). Many users therefore consider tide times to be incorrect, as they are unaware that they are in UTC or unaware of the meaning of Z.
I think this should be changed so that the tide time format remains linked to this setting :
-
@idefix37 I agree it’s confusing and potentially dangerous in a boating scenario.
I don’t understand why it defaults to Zulu time when there’s clearly a setting option.
-
@idefix37 this is incorrect. If you toggle that setting you will notice the tide times pick up the local time, while the weather times switch to UTC. I think you just have an incorrect boolean when checking this setting for tide times, as it is resolving the opposite value.
I've been setting UTC to on for myself as the local version of tide times is more valuable to me.
