Thank u. ### 1/5 — Do not purchase *2025-07-08* I accidentally double clicked and purchased the app. No photos will load, no directions, nothing. It has every hot spring you could find with a quick Google search, but with less information. 99 cents down the drain into a lazy app developers pocket. ### 4/5 — Where are they *2023-05-28* Lots of hot springs of interest. Its hard for me to grasp their locations relative to cities and states. **Developer response:** Zoom the map out to better see what’s around the hot spring. ### 5/5 — “His Honor “ *2021-10-28* Sorry about the “honor” thing! It's not actually accurate. I share the locations of the best ones.!! I do, however leave hot springs & camping sites much cleaner than I found them. . I guess that's honorable. Regarding the app, it's pretty good, however it can improve in a couple ways. Photos of the feature would be appreciated. Also, without knowing the names, I can't really do a search. A bettersearch feature might be: “ hot springs near Mt Adams”or “hot springs in the Nevada desert.” Thanks. ### 4/5 — How about Canada? *2021-08-09* This is a great app, but it is too bad it doesn’t include hot springs in Canada. How about it, guys? Please! ### 1/5 — not really anything *2021-06-01* Searching on Google Maps for hot springs probably gives you the same results. There’s no way to review the locations or find much of any details. Waste of an app. ### 1/5 — Great idea but sooo lacking info *2021-04-16* This was a great idea/concept and I wish they would do more with it. It may have only cost $.99 but I feel like I wasted my $.99. Not enough information on any of the sites I don’t know if I have to walk in if I can drive up is there a resort there what is there? ### 5/5 — I love soaking *2021-01-27* This app is amazing. Pin point accuracy, very complete. What will be helpful is reviews And pics and water and legal issues. I was not Allways sure if I was on private land. The However is great for planning trips and Allways Handy when traveling. I was amazed how complete. Thank you Peter **Developer response:** Thank you for your review. Many locations have Google reviews and photos available from the map on the detail view. On the detail view, tap the Google Map link if the Google map is not displayed. On the map you may see the hot spring, and if so tap it then tap "View larger map." This will bring up reviews, photos, and more details of the location. Also tapping on the G button on the bottom toolbar may give additional info. ### 1/5 — Many “Hot Springs” are actually hot tub dealers. *2020-09-06* Very few have links to more information or a website. Many of the “Hot Springs” that have links are actually hot tub dealers. **Developer response:** There are no hot tub dealers listed in the database, however there are resorts built around some hot springs. Some links are auto-generated by Apple Maps and may not always be 100% correct. ### 5/5 — Great resource *2019-12-27* This is a very valuable resource. I would request the following changes: *Allow more hotsprings to be displayed at a time. Some areas are very dense and you can’t see any *Update some springs that no longer exist (Warner Valley) **Developer response:** Thank you for your review. As for your requests: • Sorry, but I don't quite understand this request. The map displays all the hot springs, and you zoom in or out to see more or fewer hot springs. • To submit an update on an existing hot spring, go to the detail view, tap the lower left button (box with an up arrow), and tap "Report a location issue." There are two Warner Valley hot springs so I'm not sure which you're reporting. Please contact us for additional support. It is difficult to converse via app reviews. ## Frequently asked questions about Hot & Thermal Springs ### What information does the app provide about hot springs?
