Great app with a lot of potential
Seems like a great all-around app. Have used to find some local places to put in that I don't know about! I just wish there were a few more free features. I don't get to get on the water enough to justify a subscription. Even tho it's not really a lot. Might try premium one day if I find
more paddle time.Show lessTuskerkeg
Loving this App
I’m loving the app. I’m liking the ability to measure distance easily and mark our river island campsites, as well as saving my favorite local rivers to monitor CFS (especially now during runoff). I think as time goes on and more people use it it will be awesome to report current hazard and beta.Mburnor
Needs some fine tuning
This is a much-needed app. Folks are going to love this when the glitches have been worked out. When you search for a specific section it’ll flash up, but then it’ll go back to the main list. Some of the other features don’t work consistently. i’ll update after I use it a little bit more.John Epperson

Thanks John! Please reach out to our support team with any issues so we can get them fixed!Have to delete and redownload the app for my saved routes to show
Every time I make a new route, waypoint, or offline map I have to delete the app and redownload for those to show. I love everything else and even bought the premium but this is very annoying and would be great if it can be fixed quickly.Tana13131313
No advantage over maps
I hate apps that don’t even give you a preview without inputting all your info, but as I wanted more water info, I gave it a shot. Got nothing. Shows the nearest boat ramps, but doesn’t say if they are paid or free. No parking information. No ramp construction details. Nothing. Obviously most of these apps are crowd sourced, but this one is taking from a shallow pool. Tried a well known lake in the nearest capital city, thinking more people might be logging there, and got no more extra info than who maintains the dock. Worthless for me. Using a search engine results or satellite maps and you get the same amount of info.Show lessTMGameLover
Class V power at your fingertips
This app is bomber. The tools, insight and information it provides in the easy to use platform it’s designed with is an incredible addition to the quiver of tools for any boater. Whether it’s beta on a rapid, checking the flows of my favorite runs, or finding put ins and take outs for new runs.. and even a scat machine along the way.. this app makes it easier and more enjoyable than ever. One of the few sources for an increase in screen time that I’m stoked for. Highly recommend for anybody and everybody who’s looking to spend time on the water.Show lessRecoveringRiverRat
Great concept, premature product launch.
Speaking of the many western rivers I know well, this app is woefully short on information. For example, the South Fork of the American River run is 21 miles yet absolutely no rapids are shown below Old Scary. The river below Old Scary includes the challenging Gorge section with multiple Class II, and III rapids. This is an incredibly popular, well documented whitewater river so I fail to see any reason for the lack of detail.Show lessRadarat115
Really good app to familiarize yourself with the area
This app is really good at allowing you to get familiar with the different runs in your region. The beta it offers for the rapids is a great resource. Navigating the map can be challenging at times but it works. Would recommend for any paddlerFidget Paddle

Thanks for the feedback! If you send us a message through the app we can work on making navigating the map easier--we'd love to hear your feedback on what difficulties you're running into so we can fix them!Has potential but needs some work
This app is intuitive and visually appealing but lacks helpful content even in the membership version. There are claims about gaining more info on river details yet I only ever get the river distance in its entirety and nothing more besides a few major rivers in my state. Also when you create a route, the lines are wildly inaccurate. That being said, the gauge location/information and general map of rivers is nice to have and it is convenient to be able to save certain river gauges to keep an eye on levels.
Suggestion: More river info (a lot more), allow local users to suggest/report boat launches on the map, create more accurate snap-to mapping, allow commenting so local users can share updates and info, incorporate a list of what is runnable like AW has, add important features like dams to the map.
I look forward to the developers working out the kinks because someday this will be a fantastic app.Show lessWW Alpine

Hey, thanks for trying the app and leaving feedback! We do have lots of new content coming online every day, and we are also about to deploy tools which will let users submit content (like those local boat launches) from within the app (subject to approval by local moderators). When this happens we think content will grow exponentially. We also plan to incentivize these submissions with prizes, so that should accelerate content growth even further. To your point about commenting: We have user commenting (and image uploading) enabled for almost all of our POIs, and for our "featured" rivers (the orange ones), but not the blue rivers which have less content. We are changing that in the next few weeks to allow commenting on all water bodies.Good Start
There’s a lot of potential in this app and it’s got a good foundation. But there are also a lot of features that I would expect that are just missing, such as information about lakes, launch point fees, and more detailed descriptions of sections of water. And the constant encouragement to upgrade to a paid version isn’t very appealing, particularly when there are more currently useful and informational free paddling apps.Show lessSamRF318

We have a ton of lake info that we haven't released on the app yet. Expect that in the next month or so
