What's New in Costa

2.2.4

August 3, 2026

• Filters now have icons. • Each beach's summary reads better when there's more than one thing to flag: it separates what's happening now from this week's risk. • A rip current advisory is always mentioned. It used to drop out when another condition outweighed it. • Cloudy water now counts toward the Costa Score. • Under an active advisory the verdict is direct: "Don't go in." • Wording and typography fixes throughout.

Espectacular

Verdaderamente espectacular esta herramienta. Directa y clara.

“Check the beach before you go.”

Muy bueno!

¡Finalmente a alguien se le ocurre!

La aplicación está buenísima y me alegro mucho que alguien haya tenido la tremenda idea de desarrollar semejante aplicación de las playas de Puerto Rico!
Una pequeña sugerencia sería que permitiera a los usuarios que están visitando una playa en particular, puedan someter información o fotografías al instante como la del sargazo pues la información CARICOOS es basado en pronóstico para el área o costa en general y en algunas playas lo hay y en otras no.

Muchas gracias y muchas felicidades por esta tremenda idea!

Response from developer

Saludos y gracias! Si tienes la versión más reciente, cuando abres una playa, al final, abajo, te permite enviarnos un mensaje por si hay algo que no cuadra con el pronóstico! Es algo súper útil para nosotros, ya que seguimos ajustando con cada reporte que nos llega. Gracias.

¡Por fin!

Ay como merecemos una app que funciona bien y nos dice cómo está la playa ANTES de llegar con toda la familia. Mil gracias y mucho éxito! 🙏🏾🇵🇷

Excelente!

Me encantó mil veces. Es fácil de navegar, completa en términos de contiene todos los elementos importantes a la hora de playar. Bravísimo
