### 3/5 — Data no longer there

*2026-05-14*

The app is useful however recent the water temperature disappeared from “Current “ tab? This is a very useful feature I’m disappointed it just disappeared!

**Developer response:** The water temperature data comes from a third-party source that has been very flaky recently, reporting temperatures as low as 32 and as high as 267. Once that data source starts reporting normal values this feature will continue working as expected.

### 1/5 — Beware!!!
