Love it

An explorers dream come true. Thank u.

Do not purchase

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.

Where are they

Lots of hot springs of interest. Its hard for me to grasp their locations relative to cities and states.

Response from developer

Zoom the map out to better see what’s around the hot spring.

“His Honor “

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.

How about Canada?

This is a great app, but it is too bad it doesn’t include hot springs in Canada. How about it, guys? Please!

not really anything

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.

Great idea but sooo lacking info

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?

I love soaking

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

Response from developer

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.

Many “Hot Springs” are actually hot tub dealers.

Very few have links to more information or a website.

Many of the “Hot Springs” that have links are actually hot tub dealers.

Response from developer

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.

Great resource

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)

Response from developer

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.

Will get likely get better with time

Nice platform but not enough info. Would be far more useful if it provided information on accessibility. Many of the hot springs shown on the map are on private property and not open to the public. Wouldn’t use it to plan a road trip but if I were already in an area anyway it may provide something to research more or inquire about with locals. Will likely get far better with more user participation.

great app

excellent information!

My new favorite app

I have been trying to find a way to locate hot springs for years....this is a great app!!

No information...

Very confusing with too many locations that aren’t even real hot springs. No data on the type, no recommendations, reviews or pictures...

Road Trip Companion

Love, This app will keep you soaked and relaxed on all your road trips. Great USA coverage and super accurate. Long or short road trip ... I never travel without checking for nearby Hot Springs.

Largely Pointless

I'm willing to update this review for future improvements but right now this app is wholly unhelpful. Ive now been to several springs noted on this map that were either mislocated, nonexistent, on private property, or not hot (i.e. A cold spring). The data on this app pulls from some 3rd party source and is clearly outdated. There is no description of how to get to a spring and no ability for user reviews or comments. This app is way beta right now.

It's a start, but not nearly good enough...

More info, different icons for hot springs you can swim in vs once that you die in.

User contributed reviews and actual photos, not just a search.

Push notifications for when you are nearby a spring.

Ability to follow a hot springs reviews and photos, message board.

So much room for improvement.

Not awesome

App provides little to no info on hot springs or directions to them. Also it gives misleading temps of the springs themselves (at the source) not the pools that you would actually sit in. It links to websites that might be useful but is far from being an all in one guide. It's worth about what it costs

Response from developer

To obtain directions to a hot spring, tap the left button on the bottom toolbar. Choose "Show location in Apple Maps" to show the location in Apple Maps. With Apple Maps you can obtain directions from your location to the hot spring. The temps were obtained from the National Geophysical Data Center, so if anyone knows the temps, they should.

For the frequent soaker

The perfect guide to relaxation!

Must have for hot springs lovers

Great, does everything it says it does with no problems
