But when I am literally standing on the exact beach, that I used the app to determine where I am going for the day, and the app says the water is clear and there is no drift algae, and I am standing in ankle deep drift algae, can’t see the floor of the ocean, and it smells like dead fish, clearly the app is absolutely useless. Deleted and unsubscribed from the emails. I’ve wasted so many trips this summer “chasing” the optimal beach conditions based on the input of the beach ambassadors of this app - I will just take my chances the good old fashioned way. Mother Nature is going to do what she is going to do - I won’t waste my time on these lies. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t currently work *2023-04-10* The most recent beach reports are from March 14, nearly a month ago. As users need timely information regarding conditions, this app has become useless. **Developer response:** Thank you for using the Beach Conditions Reporting System (BCRS). We're sorry to hear the app did not meet your expectations. The BCRS website and mobile app were experiencing some technical difficulties in March-April of 2023 that impacted the system's ability to perform certain functions (conditions reports, contact form, email subscription, etc). These issues have been remedied and the system is now fully operational. We hope you'll continue to using the BCRS. Sincerely, The BCRS Management Team ### 1/5 — Useless *2023-04-04* I can’t subscribe to updates because it says my email is invalid. When I try to contact it says my emails don’t match. **Developer response:** Thank you for using the Beach Conditions Reporting System (BCRS).

Sincerely, BCRS Management Team ### 1/5 — A work in progress *2023-04-04* This would be an excellent app if it worked better. Very slow loading reports with spinning wheel. Has trouble taking email addresses. When trying to send comments I was unable as the app repeatedly indicated that my email address did not match, even after copying and pasting. **Developer response:** Thank you for using the Beach Conditions Reporting System (BCRS).

Sincerely, BCRS Management Team ### 1/5 — Pretty much useless *2023-02-20* Check the report dates, almost all are out of date sometimes by months ### 1/5 — Never up to date *2022-11-14* When checking your favorite beach make sure to look at the date of the report. Some are over a week old and not up to date. Disappointed. ### 2/5 — Worked great when there were actually beach reports *2023-04-14* As of April 13 the last beach reports were from March 13. With active red tide in the area it would be nice to have beach conditions. **Developer response:** Thank you for using the Beach Conditions Reporting System (BCRS).

I metal detect on the west coast of Florida and find the reports beneficial when selecting which beach to go to. **Developer response:** Thank you for using the Beach Conditions Reporting System (BCRS).
