About this app
Slack water times and a tidal current map for Port Phillip — the Rip, the Heads and the southern Bay — and Western Port. And now the next 48 hours of wind, gusts, storm risk and waves, worked out with the current. Through the Heads the tide runs at four knots and more, and slack lasts minutes. It turns at a different time at every site, and the run-in and run-out don't behave the same. Slack Water works it out site by site, on your phone, with no reception needed. SLACK TIMES, SITE BY SITE Port Phillip: the Rip, Lonsdale Wall, Pope's Eye, Portsea Hole, the Hurricane wreck, Portsea, Queenscliff, Blairgowrie and Rye piers. Western Port: the Western Entrance, Cowes and Stony Point jetties, San Remo bridge and jetty. See the turn, and the window when the current stays under your own limit. CURRENT MAP OF BOTH BAYS See where it's running and where it's slack: arrows, a colour map by speed…
App details
What you can learn from Slack Water – Port Phillip
Every shipping app on the App Store has gone through the same decisions you're working through right now: which screenshot goes first, what caption sits over it, which device frame to show, what color the background should be. The 20 screenshots above are Slack Water – Port Phillip's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.
What the numbers say: Slack Water – Port Phillip runs a light set with one background colour (#ECECF4) carried across every screenshot — the listing reads as a single poster when the shots sit side by side in search results. The accent colour we picked up, #94C4E4, is the one to reuse for badges, arrows and highlighted words if you borrow this look. Hit Use this style to open the editor with these exact colours and drop your own screenshot in.
Notice the first screenshot in particular. It's the one users see in search results and on the product page, and it's where most apps spend their best caption and tightest design. Look at the proportion of background to phone, where the text sits, what one thing the image is trying to communicate.
