### 4/5 — A good app

*2016-01-01, version 1.51*

Found this to be very helpful.

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2015-09-22, version 1.51*

Great idea, but too bad it was poorly executed.

### 1/5 — AARGGHH

*2014-01-29, version 1.51*

Worthless. Many duplicates. Location search doesn't work. Should be banned.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2013-07-21, version 1.51*

"Unable to load/get content". Total waste of time.  Would rate zero if possible.

### 1/5 — Great idea, horribly done

*2012-12-07, version 1.51*

The idea behind this app is good, and it would be very useful if the information were accurate.  I tested it looking for ramps near where I live (Olympia, WA).  Virtually every location had some major problem.  Addresses were wrong, lat/long locations off. Some locations are not even near a body of water.  One mini storage facility, miles from water, was listed as having a ramp. Some ramps were duplicate entries, with different names. I don't know where they got the data, but it obviously hasn't been checked. The features of the app are fine, but the information is so wrong as to make it useless.  I can't see myself relying on this app to find a ramp, it is totally misleading, at least in my area.

### 2/5 — Crash

*2012-06-21, version 1.51*

Dang thing keeps on crashing

### 1/5 — Great Concept but Lousy App

*2012-02-25, version 1.51*

After using the app for awhile I found that it is very inaccurate in the ramp locations. It's as far off as several miles.  Now the app won't load at all. It keeps saying an error has occurred. This is a great concept but needs alot of work.

### 1/5 — Not working!!!

*2012-02-20, version 1.51*

App crashes when you tap by location. It says it can't determine my location

### 3/5 — More Information

*2012-02-02, version 1.51*

I like the concept of the app but would like to see more information ie fuel station, bait shop, short term or long term parking, fee or free ramp charge, shower & boat boat rinse facilities to name a few.  Adding these as icons below the name of the ramp site would be helpful when going to new areas.

### 1/5 — Like the idea

*2012-01-06, version 1.51*

Concept is cool but shows mainly bait and tackle stores mixed in with the occasional ramp. Not great.

### 2/5 — Wrong Info - Reputation Needed

*2011-12-18, version 1.5*

Wanting to take our boat out for the first time we sought out a Boat Ramps app. After firing up the app it seemed straight forward, but buggy and the "map all" from our geo location presented a map with pins on why seemed to be a single island In a unknown near place. After choosing a single ramp and requesting map directions we began the journey. 2 hour road trip later the given directions did not put us near a ramp…

Should have a reputation for others to verify ramp's locations. While day wasted and nearly an hour farther away we located a ramp.

Hope to see the app evolve and offer useful information.

### 1/5 — App does not work

*2011-12-18, version 1.5*

I know why fisherman are lazy and do not know how to navigate

### 1/5 — not working

*2011-12-05, version 1.5*

on the last update my app no longer works when i touch by current location it dosnt show a list and when i touch map all it kicks out was great when i first got it now its worthless please fix it

### 2/5 — Good concept

*2011-12-05, version 1.5*

Good concept poor execution. App has so much potential. Ramps are there but how about ability to add more info/ pics. New update has just gone haywire!

### 1/5 — Barbaric

*2025-08-20, version 3.0*

I just saw the pop-up that said boat ramps was done by Fishory! For people who FISH! 🤮 
I’m not a vegan, but when are people going to wake up and realize how barbaric fishing is?!
IT IS NO DIFFERENT THAN DROWNING PUPPIES FOR SPORT!!!!
NO DIFFERENT!
Disgusting, cruel and barbaric!
It devastates me how our planet is ending because you’re too lazy to LEARN AMD EVOLVE!

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2025-07-09, version 3.0*

Doesn’t even have the right boat ramps on here. Says there is a dock at one place but failed to mention that it doesn’t have motorized boat access. Then the two most well known put ins aren’t even shown on here.
Worst feature is once you tap on a location the done button takes you back in the app; unless you scroll then the Done button disappears and you have to shut down the whole app and start over again to go back!!

### 1/5 — Boat ramps app no longer works

*2023-08-24, version 3.0*

I used this app for years and it worked great but it no longer works.  If you locate a ramp you cannot locate another without deleting the app and reinstalling it.  You have to constantly do this in order to find another ramp.  App is now worthless

### 1/5 — Super wrong

*2023-07-23, version 3.0*

This app is super wrong is showing boat ramp where there is none

### 1/5 — 90% inacurate

*2018-09-20, version 2.10*

In NJ Great Bay Area
Great concept unfortunately the location and functionality of the rams are not accurate. 
There should be a button to report or at least suggest a change in map.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2018-01-14, version 2.01*

Does not show boat ramps, don’t waste your time.

### 1/5 — Search function??

*2017-12-29, version 2.01*

This was my go to app for boat ramp locations until the June ‘17 update. After losing the “search” function, it is useless to me. Restore the search function, make it simple again!
This app went from a “Five Star to a Zero Star” with the update.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2017-08-20, version 2.01*

Boat ramps are not boat docks! This  app shows every dock! You have to zoom in and after 5 times still no ramps then the ones I know about anyway! It gets old quick and has no information about the ramp! 
Don't waste your time on this app!
Good idea, bad execution!

### 1/5 — Boat ramps

*2017-06-17, version 2.01*

I used to love this app prior to the recent update. Without the search feature you have to pinch the map to expand or decrease the area of interest. Having a small screen iphone makes this update almost too frustrating to use!

### 1/5 — Doesn't work but it is a fantastic idea

*2016-02-27, version 1.51*

I just downloaded this today. And every time I try and do a search it gives me error messages. I hope that means that they're working on the site and not that they have just abandoned it.

### 5/5 — Nice

*2015-01-20, version 1.51*

Help a lot to find a ramp and easy to use.

### 5/5 — ramp review

*2013-03-09, version 1.51*

fairly good app

### 5/5 — overall fairly good

*2012-08-08, version 1.51*

simple, straight forward and easy to use

### 5/5 — great idea, great execution

*2012-08-08, version 1.51*

Great app. This app seems to get better with each release and now there's no reason not to download since its free. locates all the ramps and marinas in my area plus some I never knew existed

### 5/5 — great start...

*2012-02-03, version 1.51*

the concept behind the app is pretty good and provides fairly decent information, i really like the feature that allows you to supply information about an existing ramp, looks like it takes a couple days but the data seems to get updated.  i would like to see the app add additional information about the ramps and marinas including fees and amenities available at the different locations.  also if you could search by moving the map that would add a definite improvement over the app the current search mechanism.  overall fairly well done and by fair the best among apps that provide marine related poi information.

### 5/5 — great for trailer boaters

*2012-02-03, version 1.51*

recently took a trip to florida from georgia and was in some relatively unknown areas of south west florida the app worked very well and got me right to where i needed to be in terms of finding a few ramps in the area.  the app had some duplicate ramps in it but that was easy to simply overlook.

### 5/5 — 5*

*2011-03-25, version 1.3.1*

Great so far!

### 5/5 — Perfect - Must have for boaters!

*2010-08-10, version 0*

This app is awesome! It tells me exactly what I need to know and connects to Maps for directions. One recommendation is to add pics to top it off. A must have!

### 5/5 — just what i needed

*2010-07-17, version 0*

just what i needed. does exactly what i have been looking for no more do i need to search the web endlessly to find new ramps. just type in the city and it gives me all the options i could want, only complaint is that i wish it allowed to type in the location rather than scrolling through a list

### 5/5 — great for boating

*2010-07-09, version 0*

great app for anyone trailering their boat, gives you all the ramps and directions to them
