Just Doesn’t Work

The app just doesn’t work, says “no surf spots” in my area (I live along the Jersey Shore where there are plenty of spots), even when I hit “Any” on every parameter. Support is unresponsive to emails, too.

So far so good.

Just getting in to this app, but after a couple of days I can see that it is well thought out and will really be a useful tool to have in the quiver.

Like a yellow pages directory for surf spots

I like how the app has a very organized listing of surf spot information with no confusing graphics!
