I love that it shows literally everything you need to know:) ### 5/5 — This app is what the people needed. *2026-06-18* The app is simple and easy to use and understand. I hope in the future there is a way to connect beach locations to third party services on Apple Maps similar how things on Apple Maps have yelp or foursquare connected to it. It would be superb to harness for more sign ups and more exposure for this great app. ### 5/5 — Great App! *2026-06-15, version 1.0.2* So happy I found out about this on social media. The app is so helpful and well put together. Thank you!! ### 5/5 — Awesome App! *2026-06-12, version 1.0.2* This is so helpful and so important. Using this to for anytime I go to the beach. ### 5/5 — Love this app. *2026-06-11, version 1.0.2* Love the BeachLens app so much. It’s super easy to use and perfect for helping plan your beach day. It has a ton of useful information. ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-06-11, version 1.0.2* I love the app. It’s super useful and aesthetically pleasing as well ### 5/5 — really helpful *2026-06-10, version 1.0.2* hated having to search for a long time just to try and find out if a beach had red tide or how high the waves are. this app has a lot of useful features to ensure you have a good experience at the beach. ### 5/5 — Incredibly useful *2026-06-04* This app is wonderful as it gathers all the information about the beach conditions in one place making it so much easier to plan your day at the beach. I highly recommend visitors download before taking their vacation. ### 5/5 — Exciting! *2026-05-01* Can’t wait to use this more into my schedule just downloaded the app and it’s so far super easy to understand, get around and see all the info u need ! 👏👏👏 ### 5/5 — Amazing app! *2026-04-19* As a local, this is a genuinely helpful app. Hurricanes destroying entrances certainly make a 40 minute drive (80 min both ways) worthless without this app showing me whether it's open or not! ### 5/5 — 😻 *2026-04-16* amazing app ### 5/5 — Best app for beach goers *2026-04-12, version 1.0* First app that does it all! ### 5/5 — A Must-Have for Florida Beach Families *2026-04-11* If you live in Florida or visit the beach often, this app is incredibly helpful. As a mom who moved to Southwest Florida a few years ago, BeachLens is exactly the kind of app I wish I had from day one. Before finding it, I had to bounce between multiple websites just to figure out basic beach info, and honestly, that kind of research is hard to keep up with when you have kids. Questions like: Are there rip current warnings before I pack everyone up? Which beaches allow dogs? Are there bathrooms nearby? Is food available? What is the Red Tide warning? These were all things I often didn’t know until we arrived. BeachLens puts all of that information in one place and makes beach planning so much easier. It takes the guesswork out of beach days and helps families actually enjoy the trip instead of dealing with surprises once they get there. If you live in Florida or visit the beach often, this app is incredibly helpful. ### 5/5 — 🙌🙌🙌 *2026-04-10* As a local, this app is everything! It’s sharing the real deal and the “ if you know you know….before you go! 🤣 Love the education on local systems, wildlife, preservation, and safety! 🤙 ### 5/5 — Super Useful! *2026-04-09* Had everything I wanted and showed me things I didn’t even know I wanted. Will definitely be checking every single time I go to the beach ### 5/5 — so happy to have this! *2026-04-09, version 1.0* this app is exactly what everyone in florida has been needing. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 2/5 — Parking Info Absent/Incorrect *2026-06-20, version 1.0.2* I had high hopes for this app. It covers everything well except for one of beachgoers’ biggest expenses and stressors traveling to the beach—parking. Every parking lot just says $2.50/hr. All of them. It’s wrong too. ### 2/5 — Missing information. *2026-06-16* So I love the idea of this app! Don’t get me wrong. It’s got the barebones of the information. Definately something to build on. I can only assume that the overview data is being scraped from other websites. Not much else is listed. Is the overview data real time? Even if it’s not, the weather is easy to look up. As a life long Floridian, I’m looking for new beaches to explore, however I want to know the important stuff before committing to the drive. Let’s see the amenities, most definitely the parking. Parking would be the most important. Yeah we can zoom in on the map, but give me a listing of places and their costs. I’ll keep my eye on this app, as I do believe that it has a TON of potential. You’re doing great! I’ll check back periodically for updates and will update my review. 🏖️🌊☀️ **Developer response:** Thank you for the thoughtful feedback! We’re only about 2 months into launching BeachLens and we don’t use AI, so there’s still a lot we’re actively improving and it takes time. Amenities, parking details, costs, and more beach-specific information are all things we’re working to expand. Also we get our data from NOAA, FWC, FDEP, etc., and they update about every 6 minutes to every 8 days for things like red tide status. We appreciate you giving us a try and sharing your ideas as they help shape our roadmap. Thanks for sticking with us, and we hope to earn that updated review in the future! ### 4/5 — Great APP!! *2026-06-23, version 1.0.2* Great app but missing a few beaches… can you add Coquina Beach on the app? ### 5/5 — Amazing for safety *2026-09-03* I live by the beach and am always looking for new spots. The app allows me to see if the conditions are safe, but also the comments feature is great because I can see what other people are saying about the location. I feel so much safer with this app! And it makes my beach day planning way easier! ### 5/5 — Accurate and Evolving *2026-08-22* I’ve used this app several times recently, and I can attest to the accuracy of the data shown for each of the local beaches I visited. I also appreciate that the app is constantly evolving and improving based upon user feedback. Keep up the great work! ### 5/5 — Hello *2026-08-02, version 2.0.0* Is anyone there ? ### 5/5 — amazing!!!! *2026-08-02, version 2.0.0* This app was such a good idea, so useful and makes it so much easier to do research on which beaches to go to !!! 10/10 ### 5/5 — I never leave reviews but I LOVEEE this app❤️ *2026-07-09* First off, 3 reasons why I love this app enough to leave a review this detailed and pretty w emojis!! 1🌴- Beach conditions It shows the conditions for the beach all in one spot! Weather🏖️, uv☀️, temp🌡️, red tide🍂, wave hight🌊, tide🏝️, expected flag colors🏳️, cloud cover ☁️, crowd density👥, and more. It also puts all that into one overview with a score ranging from poor - excellent conditions that’s super handy🙏🙏😁 2🦀 - Education and Preservation It also has a very helpful educational section that I enjoyed going through, even tho I’m a local since birth, I learned some things which is very cool! Beach education is more important then ever with the influx of tourists and ppl moving to FL🫶 Not only for their safety, but for the future of our states ecosystems and wildlife!!!! 🏝️3 - Users Input! I like that users add all the photos, reviews, and can even add updates and reports to current beach conditions❤️ I’ve gone on google reviews and been catfished by so many beaches bc the photos r all professional photography w color grading, here u see what ur getting!! And I enjoy when people update what’s going on! Next, my personal experiences and thoughts with beachlens! 🫡The expected flag color was actually v helpful to my friend and I today, there was no flags up so we checked beachlens, went from green to yellow flag, We r experienced swimmers so we r fine but having this app on hand was very helpful today🙂‍↕️ Same with the UV I also feel happy leaving reviews for my favorite beaches! I leave reviews and put beach updates in the app as much as I can bc it’s amazing and I want more ppl to use it!!🫶 , and if you see this, I think it would be cool if there was a section on beaches about seashell and sea-glass hunting! I love collecting sea shells! I’d love to see what kinds people find and how good certain beaches are for finding them! Thank u for the amazing app dude, many blessing❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — BeachLens *2026-07-02, version 2.0.0* Awesome app showed me every single government resource 👍 it’s also nice and organized and the new logo is so cool 😎 ### 5/5 — Excellent & Useful!! *2026-06-30* Downloaded and love it so far!!! Interface is smooth and clean! Would be amazing if a future update included tide charts to show high and low tide. ## Most praised reviews (3 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love love love *2026-06-24, version 1.0.2* Super helpful info!! Love the whole concept!! ### 5/5 — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ *2026-06-21* BeachLens is an excellent app! I absolutely love all the information it provides. Even though it’s a new app, it is already very helpful, easy to use, and packed with useful features. The information is clear, accurate, and makes planning beach trips much easier. I’m excited to see how it continues to grow. Highly recommended! ### 5/5 — GREAT APP *2026-06-20, version 1.0.2* Tells you how close you’re to the beaches and provides pictures☺️ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
