It doesn’t have all of the spots, but it has the main ones. What I do like is it shows the bay quality as well. ### 3/5 — LA only *2019-09-17* The problem with this app is it only has data for LA no were else. So i can’t give this app my recommendation. ### 1/5 — Abondonware *2015-07-07, version 1.5* This app is neglected and abandoned. It doesn't work. Website basically does what this app was supposed to do if you allow location services from your iPhone. ### 1/5 — Not working. Please fix! *2015-07-04, version 1.5* All I get is the start screen. ### 1/5 — Broken?? *2015-06-25* Used to use this app all the time and worked great but now on my iPhone 6 it freezes on title screen. I've deleted and reinstalled and same thing. I wish they would fix it. :( ### 1/5 — App doesn't work *2015-06-18, version 1.5* Just shows first page then locks up ### 1/5 — Broken *2015-06-12* Am I missing something here. I just get stuck on the first page and then get linked to the vensi website (the people that power the app). Seems like this app may be defunct now. ### 1/5 — Unable to Use it - Locked Up *2015-05-24, version 1.5* As soon as I downloaded it, it was locked on the opening page - can't do ANYTHING with it. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work in iOS 8.2 *2015-04-01* Have used this app in the past and found it extremely useful. Tried to check beach conditions this morning and it won't open. ??? ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work At All *2015-03-04, version 1.5* It won’t do anything other than show the first screen. ### 1/5 — Problems with site *2015-02-26, version 1.5* Still haven't fixed the site. Doesn't move passed first screen. ### 1/5 — Won't work *2015-01-19, version 1.5* Doesn't work with iPhone 6. Needs an update. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2014-12-14* Loads to the home/title page and then nothing. Tried tapping all over the screen and nothing. Deleted and reinstalled and nothing. Website does the same thing on iPhone 6- won't load. ### 1/5 — Not available *2014-06-26, version 1.5* Not available in NY ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No data *2023-09-10* The app does not have any data for beaches. So not sure what the point of it is. ### 1/5 — Never updated. Unreliable. *2023-08-28* What are you actually doing Heal The Bay? Why didn't you take samples for the entire summer??? Sad. ### 1/5 — Limited Coverage and Inaccessible for Non-Californians *2023-07-04* I recently downloaded the Beach Report Card app in hopes of accessing valuable information about beach conditions across the United States. However, I was extremely disappointed to discover that the app only covers beaches in Los Angeles. This severely limits its usefulness and accessibility for users like me who are currently trying to look for beach condition outside of Los Angeles. As someone who frequently visits different coastal areas, I had hoped that Beach Report Card would provide comprehensive data and reports for beaches nationwide. Unfortunately, its exclusive focus on a single region renders it ineffective for people outside of California. Given the app's name and the potential benefits it could offer, it would be far more practical and valuable if it expanded its coverage to include beaches across the United States. It is essential to recognize that beachgoers and travelers are not limited to a single state or region. By incorporating data from various coastal areas, the app could cater to a wider audience and better assist individuals seeking reliable beach information. While I appreciate the effort put into developing this app, I am compelled to give it a 1-star rating due to its limited coverage and inability to cater to users outside of California. I sincerely hope the developers consider expanding Beach Report Card's reach across the country, allowing beach enthusiasts from all states to benefit from its features. ### 1/5 — Useless *2021-06-20* The only beach the app shows is Tijuana even after I type in my address! Deleted ### 1/5 — Abandonware? *2018-05-14, version 1.6* I opened the app (first time in awhile) and there is a plain screen announcing “ There’s nothing here” and that then rolls over to a website of a developer. It looks like this app has been abandoned and hijacked. ### 1/5 — Jeff *2015-08-12, version 1.5* Heal this app! Doesn't work. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work! *2015-08-01, version 1.5* Opens to splash page and that's it. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2015-07-26, version 1.5* It's the middle of summer and the app doesn't work?! Website either?! Cmon guys. Let's call IT and fix that bug ### 1/5 — Horrible *2015-07-08, version 1.5* This App doesn't even work, first page shows up but nothing happens after that, fix this problem NOW ### 1/5 — Won't load *2015-07-08, version 1.5* App doesn't work. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Far easier than using Safari on mobile *2022-10-06* Clean layout easy to use. NowCast readings are a must check before every ocean swim. ### 5/5 — Useful & great design *2020-08-30* Use it every time I might venture into the water. Thanks, Heal the Bay! ### 5/5 — Finally!!! So useful!!! *2019-06-20* I use this app all the time in LA when my family goes to the beach. I don’t want them swimming in water that could make them sick or anything. So the grades are simple and it looks like the nowcast ones are very timely. THANKS HEAL THE BAY!! ### 5/5 — Good app for checking beach cleanliness *2017-07-28, version 1.6* The app should cover beaches worldwide and not just on the West Coast. ### 5/5 — HEAL THIS APP *2015-07-13* I have the same problem as the others. The app just gets stuck on the splash page. ### 5/5 — Dmech *2013-06-14, version 1.5* Thank you, very useful app for going to the beach! ### 5/5 — Totally awesome!! *2013-06-11* Gives you all the information you need and tracks what beaches are closest. Highly recommend! Thanks Heal the Bay!! ### 5/5 — So thankful! *2012-07-26* This is a superb app! It's awesome that this info is available so easily and quickly. The user face is simple to use and I haven't had any problems with it. Thanks heal the bay!!! You do amazing work and it's so cool how easy it to access it. ### 5/5 — Very useful app *2012-04-24* I love this app, it's great to use before swimming or surfing in the ocean to stay healthy.
