Good, when it works (rarely)

The app has potential, but its performance is inconsistent at best. Frequent crashes, especially upon opening, have persisted for months, making it unusable. This pattern suggests that regular maintenance and updates have been neglected, which is disappointing.

If the developers address these issues, it would also be great to see the addition of a dark mode. The current design is harsh on the eyes, particularly when reviewing reports early in the morning. A more user-friendly interface, combined with improved stability, could make this app far more effective and enjoyable to use.

App stoped working

This is the second time I couldnโ€™t open the app because n my iPhone , 3 days this week!

A few weeks ago, I have the same problem , how can I stop my subscription?

Website is much better than the app

The app does not let you easily pick a surf cam. The cams donโ€™t load easily. I usually use the website and not the app.

Dubious reports

Good usability, etc. However, all too often the surf reports fail to match conditions on the ground. I emailed twice, asking for clarification on how these reports are produced (they're written in such a way as to suggest local observation, even though the reliability would suggest otherwise...), but both emails went unanswered. So, make of this what you will.

Hi guys , I like your much more honest approach to surf reporting and surf forecasting than other big surf websites ..

Its vital to keep real .

When websites go after clickbait they lose their soul.

Surfers feel โ€œ connected โ€œ when the truth is told .

So far , Iโ€™m really enjoying Swellnet

Thanks Heaps

Cheers grant

Swellnet App

I want to cancel my subscription for this App because the view is too small on my iPhone . However there isnโ€™t any My Account on the App to cancel it. I downloaded the App from the Swellnet website.

Hi Sharon, cancelling a website purchased subscription can be done through your website account: https://www.swellnet.com/user - Also regarding the viewing size; feel free to try the app out on an iPad as we also support tablets. :)

Canโ€™t see some cams

Canโ€™t see some of my favourite cams due to them upgrading them

Response from developer

Hi Jukebox, please let us know which cams are giving you trouble and we'll look into. Email: ios-feedback@swellnet.com

Keeping in touch and up to date.

Swellnet allows me to be up to date with current surf conditions. This is very much appreciated by a surfer who does not spend as much time as he would like at the beach.

Also, a very good predictor of new swells and weather conditions. This has allowed me to make the most of the limited time I get to hit the water.

Best surf forecast going!

Best surf report going. The written detailed forecast is the most accurate Iโ€™ve come across in 25 years of surfing!

Swellnet

Great info, excellent surfcams. The only criticism Iโ€™d have is that the tide info could be better presented on a timeline type graph, and more accurate wind graphs.
