Very few rivers in my region included and no flow data.RVApaddler

Apologies for the lack of coverage - we focused on select whitewater runs during the initial round of curation for PaddleWays but there is a wealth of diverse water across the country coming very soon! We currently include real-time USGS flow rate and temperature info on river pages and flow station POIs. Please reach out to us via in-app chat with any feature questions.Love the vision!!
This is an ambitious undertaking and will be AWESOME once y’all get it all fully filled out! Y’all keep up the good work and don’t let the negative reviews, while it’s all still in beta, get ya down…keep pushing! 🙌🏼JPCleary

Thank you for your encouraging words! We're excited about this ambitious project and will continue striving to make it awesome. Your support means a lot to us. We'll take all feedback, positive and negative, to improve and provide the best experience. Stay tuned for more updates!Maps ok database needs work
The maps look good and points of interest appear accurate (MapBox) but the trips database is weak. For example the Lower Deschutes is described as one trip of 110 miles. It is actually a day trip and two overnights with a mandatory exit at Sheers Fall. I noticed several other similar issues in other rivers. Some of the data appears to be from the AWA. They should get more data from similar sources.
The free trial may be crippled too much to properly review but not enough there to justify going for a year subscription even with the 50% discount at this point.Show lessJimG-Bend

Hi Jim - Thank you for your helpful feedback. Your thoughts echo much of what we've heard from our other early PaddleWays users and we will keep them in mind as we adjust trip sections. We are also greatly expanding our coverage and content database in updates over the next few weeks - please stay tuned!Needs more value
Format is not very intuitive and favorites list makes you go a long way to find flows. They should bring flow data directly to the favorites list. Common runs in my area are not yet included. Detail provided for runs is minimal. Rapids data is canned and not specific. Not ready for $2/month and certainly not $9/month. Unfortunately.Show lessRiver Peaches

Hello - Thanks for your thoughts and feedback. A flow-forward presentation is a great idea and we will keep this in mind as PaddleWays evolves. We apologize for the lack of coverage at this early stage - the curation team is working to expand the breadth and depth of content. We'd love for you to see our progress over the coming weeks!Beautiful but still very Beta
At the top of my “needs” list for a Whitewater reference app is quick access to Flow data. This app currently has no flow data.
It’s super sexy and pretty until shows you it’s toothless smile.
With NRS involved I expect the content to improve. I’ll definitely be checking back but for now there are several superior solutions for traveling whitewater boaters.Show lessflowstatedale

Thanks for your feedback. We currently integrate real-time data from USGS flow rate and temperature gages. The team is working hard on bringing in other flow station data sources and thousand of miles of water across the country for upcoming PaddleWays updates. I really appreciate your feedback and engagement at such an early state in PaddleWays - it will be extremely valuable for us over the next few months!Offline Maps Useless
The best part of this app would be the offline maps - however if you zoom in enough to actually differentiate between the points of interest (camps, rapids, etc) in an offline map, the points of interest disappear. Could be a great useful tool… eventually. Also, would be nice if I could download specific sections of rivers. I don’t need to download the entire Salmon River (ID) if I’m only boating on the Lower Salmon section.Show lessjmstranger

Hi there - Thanks for your feedback! These issues are on our radar and will be addressed in the near future in upcoming PaddleWays updates.No useful value
The promise in the App Store is that this app is great for all paddle sports, but unless you are interested in white water in a select few states it is COMPLETELY USELESS. In a state with literally thousands of routes and several water trails available for multi day trips they list 5 short whitewater spots that you can find on WazeShow lessDanReiss107654
