These are all free. I've checked p put a bunch, but these are the ones I like.

"Currents": any Bay Area halibut fisherperson gotta love this one. Great for the bay. Almost more important than tides. Gives you slack and max flow at your position

"Tide predictions" good graphic tide charts. You can change the units to ft from meters in settings.

"Marine Charts Light": free nautical charts based on NOAA ENC data. Not as detailed as the $15 Navionics, but hey its free!
Dont know if these exist for iOS or Windows Mobile.

I was using the free "wave watch" which was ok, but recently decided to pay a nominal fee ($1.99) for "Marine Weather Pro by Bluefin" which is really good. You can get tides, live buoy stats, marine forecasts, and water temps. http://www.bluefinengineering.com/marine-weather
Just a walleye fisherman from MN tryin' ta get salty!
