Give us the old app back
Almost a year later I still hate the new update. Why haven’t you reverted back. Look at your terrible reviews and listen.
Update 6/2026: why do I have to login in every time I open the app??? It’s infuriating.

Oh we are so back
A while ago there was an update that basically blew the functionality of this app. I’m happy to report that we now have the best whitewater app in the business again. The maps are better than before through the app and the favorites list is back which is the most important function of this app.

worst update ever
i don’t know why they would ever take away half the features can’t ever find what’s running
Was awesome before the update
It was awesome before the update. Was able to look in your surrounding area to see what rivers were running/active it was easy to see because it would just show Green if it was running or red if it was too low. Now, not so much. They are all the same color.
Nothing else quite matches it
And it’s buggy AF, doesn’t work w/ password manager, logs out weekly for no reason, and other nuisances.
Hard to use
Seriously this app is so unnecessary hard to use compared to the original. Keeping the gauges from the river description is a terrible idea.
Barely functional
This last update has made this app nearly unusable. Can no longer filter by flows, difficulty, or distance. Browse by state gives you a list of rivers that is only sometimes listed alphabetically with, again, no ability to filter. I also lost all my favorites when this version updated. Oh, and the button to leave a review doesn’t work. Major downgrade from previous versions. Thankfully the website is still very useful.

Redesign not useful
Used to be a useful app where you could filter by rivers that are actually running. Now it takes forever to figure out what rivers are running. Why would they do this.
Love the iterative approach and responsiveness to paddler feedback!
Lots of apps have a roadmap and you get what you get without many options for input - I love that AW is iterating the app based on member feedback! Such an improvement. Thanks to the volunteers that make this happen!
Great app, has a lot of room for improvement
This app has a variety of different rivers to explore as well as relatively recent and updated information on the difficulty of whitewater as well as any potential hazards. As this app continues to be updated by its users, I expect the app to get additional rivers added to it, including more of the smaller rivers and creeks that aren’t run as often. I love how the rivers are color coded by difficulty, and the river gauges are always accurate. So far I give 5 stars!

Disappointing App Update
I really don’t like the changes recently made to the app. I can no longer quickly check what my favorite or saved rivers are running.
Very bad Update
This app used to be cool, then they updated and removed the favorites tab. There is no reason to use the app over a web search now. SAD.
Unfortunate update
The new design of this app is considerably worse than the previous one. Mainly not being able to filter rivers by class of difficulty. Which was particularly helpful when traveling outside of my home area trying to find new runs.
I used to use this app regularly (every time I went boating) now I don’t use it at all and I don’t suggest it to other boaters. I’m very disappointed

Old Version is Better
They recently updated this app which made it not usable. They got rid of the colors on the map to easily be able to see what is running. They also got rid of the favorites list for rivers to see a list of gages that you choose instead of having to search for each one. I went from using this app a few times a week to never opening it and using google.

Am I doing something wrong
Why can you not save your favorites anymore. Also, not be able to zoom in on the graphs. I miss this and setting up alerts for the rivers that are running.
Keeps getting worse
I’ve had the app for years. Originally it was not bad and not far from the layout of the website. The updates have been horrible. The most recent one is a joke. Rapids are missing and the layout is not smooth. Honestly couldn’t find one benefit. I’m considering deleting it after 10+ years.
Virtually worthless
Would give it zero or negative stars if I could! Deleted an app with far more functionality to give us this awkward cumbersome replacement. Shameful.
Confusing
Maybe it’s just me but the new way that the app is set up is very confusing. I can’t find half of the options that the old set up had and it is very frustrating.
