Not updated for modern phones
The app is long overdue for an update to fix obstructed header info and unresponsive navigation buttons at the top of the screen.freediverx01
Saw on the news - believed the lies
Gloria Reuben - president of the company behind this app - went on the news and raves about this app. Downloaded it and every single beach’s status is unavailable and in the gray, yet they claim to check the water quality weekly. So just not reporting the findings? LolAKK_47
Difficult to reach back button on iPhone 15
App is fantastic, but could use some usability improvement. The back button is small and difficult to tap. Many apps also allow a swipe from left gesture which doesn’t work here.Teddy Brown

WRONG INFO ALL THE TIME
August 25 last e. coli count from the city for Kew Beach was 342/100ml and this stupid app says the beach is safe. This is not the first time. DON'T USE THIS APP IT IS NOT SAFEmoopsiemoomoo
Underwhelming For My Needs
Thank you for this awesome app! It’s a great mapping tool for seeing beach statuses at a glance but it doesnt meet my full needs. Info Page: Misleading statement on website “Compare real-time and historical water quality information”. The info page could be overhauled and show the last reported ecoli count and a history of the last 3 ecoli counts. Right now its a useless copy pasted space waster for every beach. The copy pasted information could be placed at a central location instead. Map: The map could also use a setting that shows the ecoli counts in order to quickly see the specific counts at various beaches in the area. Tap a location for a summary blurb without jumping into the full screen information page. Navigation: I found the controls confusing. On iOS swiping on the left screen edge usually brings you back to what you were previously doing. In the case for the app it opens the main menu which gets me every time since I like swiping through things quickly. It feels janky tapping a location on the map then having to aim tapping Map on the top left corner to go back. I suggest changing the swipe action to be “back” and putting a menu button elsewhere. Conclusion: Looking at the raw open data at recreationalwater.ca is currently more useful to me than using the app due to detailed ecoli counts and date tested. I hope the ecoli counts can eventually be incorporated into the app.Show lessHope2148
Great app could be even better
I love the concept of this app, the only feature that I would love to be added is marking off whether or not a swimming spot is open to the public or in a private community. We spent our Sunday driving to several swimming spots only to discover we could not swim there because they were not open to the public, it was a big bummer.Show lessMandamu27
Doesn’t monitor Rhode Island beaches
Living in New England, RI is an important area for beaches. However this app does NOT monitor RI beaches, making it useless for me and anyone living in New England.Nariosan
