Testimonials

We live year round in a harsh North Atlantic offshore environment and rely on tide and marine weather data to plan our marine activities. Over the past two decades, we’ve tried dozens of apps and dedicated watches (Nixon, FreeStyle, Pebble and others). With Fair Tides on the Fitbit watch platform, Matt Clark has created the most useful tide and weather data display that we’ve ever used.

Written as an update to the popular Pebble watch face of the same name, the Fitbit version displays more information in a more readable format that is elegant, beautiful, and useful at once. At a glance, we can view the current tide level, whether we have a water level sufficient for boat work in a tidal cove, wind velocity and direction, barometric pressure, and a five day NOAA text forecast. That’s more information than we get with most of our computer and device apps put into a wrist-readable accessible form that’s a pleasure to view.

Indeed, this watch face has proved so useful that it has become our one go-to data source for all of our marine-related activities. We check it constantly throughout the day. Coupled with the 5-day battery life, waterproof, bright Versa 2 watch, it’s been a welcome update to the Pebble/Fair Tides platform.

We urge anyone involved in marine activities — fishermen, commercial fleet captains, surfers, sailers, oyster farmers, coast guard personnel — to check out Fair Tides. Amazingly, it’s a free app, though we would have gladly paid several hundred dollars for it. It’s that useful.

We gave our son for his birthday a FITBIT Versa 3, with the idea that he could roam freely without having a mobile phone on him, yet never get lost. So we were a little disappointed when it turned out that the native apps on the Versa 3 were rather limited and offered no such functionality. We set out looking for a suitable app and we were very happy when we found Radar from GORGES. By using the Radar app the Versa 3 becomes a veritable "homing device".

However, when we installed the app it turned out that the app did not make use of the native GPS built into the smartwatch. For two days we were disappointed, then we contacted GORGES via the website. Matthew Clark reacted immediately and was really friendly. Within less than a week the app had been updated and now it also makes use of native smartwatch GPS!

Abe can now roam outside unlimited, yet always find his way home. It will also be useful during one of our holidays in the wilderness of Finland or Italy. This way, he doesn't (yet) need to bring a phone with him.

The app looks exciting and it contains nice coloured icons that mark different locations (that you can custom set). As far as we're concerned Radar is a must for everybody who wants to make use of the native GPS function of the newest smartwatch models. We wholeheartedly recommend it!

I don't want the clockface or app anymore
Uninstall the clockface or app using the Fitbit smart phone app
App is not installing (Sliding Puzzle, Loopt, Chess Puzzles)
Some apps such as Sliding Puzzle, Loopt and Pocket Glider are large watch applications and may take a while to install.
Installing using Bluetooth is slow, whereas WiFi transmits more information efficiently.
Ideally these apps should be installed when WiFi is available and enabled, and your watch battery charge is high since Fitbit disables WiFi when the battery is low.
App is not uninstalling (Sliding Puzzle, Loopt, Chess Puzzles)
Try restarting your watch and iPhone
Contact Fitbit since it is a Fitbit operating system issue
As a last resort, factory-reset your watch
Settings are not changing
Sometimes the communications between the smart phone and clockface or app fail. Try power-cycling (turning off and on) both your Fitbit and your smart phone.
How do I pay for my app?
Open the custom settings for the watchface or app on your Fitbit smart phone app. Scroll to the bottom of the screen and you will see an End Trial Now switch that can be toggled.
Or just wait until the trial ends!
You will be asked to enter a five-digit code at the payment site https://kzl.io. Follow the instructions on that page to pay.
Why is it asking me to pay again?
All our apps only requires a one-time purchase.
Sometimes purchases are forgotten when a device updates firmware or a new device is purchased.
Just go to https://kzl.io and click the Already Purchased link.

About GORGES.app

This site showcases the Fitbit clockfaces and apps created by GORGES.us founder Matthew Clark. GORGES is a software company specializing in web, mobile, and wearable application development.

Matt's first smart watch was a Pebble purchased in 2013. His first app was a clockface that displayed weather information, which was voted best app in the first Pebble user poll by the leading Pebble app site. His pebble apps are available for free at SetPebble.com.

Although smart watch app development was originally a hobby, Matt and GORGES have contracted to build apps for eBay, PayPal, iControl, and other companies.

Why are some Fitbit apps free and others cost a dollar or two? The free apps were developed for fun and challenge, and the paid apps cover hosting and license expenses. Some of the more complex apps require Internet proxy, storage, and websocket services, and the free Map application has commercial mapping license costs. Donations are also suggested and appreciated for the free apps such as Fair Tides and Peg Solitaire.
