Lake Lowdown User Reviews

This is such a helpful application and observation why abandon it

Bob you should reflect with deference on and expand it. For major lake if not all lakes per state.
Especially for survival skills and seasonal wildlife activities and rescue option just in case of an emergency or thin ice etc.
What to do, be aware of and not to do.
How to keep biodiversity viapossible recycle or properly dispose of food waste etc…
Five star for effort in my opinion still stand.

Thanks. I have some time to try and expand a bit. I have some features in mind that may make it a bit more universal.

Do not waste you time.! Won’t even open

I have had for nearly 1month. The ap from day 1 opened to the title screen and then flipped to a blue screen that says select state. There is nothing to select. I figured maybe there was a glitch that day. I try periodically throughout each week that has passed as we live on a lake and would like to see the levels. This Ap still does nothing. I’m guessing it’s really no longer supported and has not been removed.

I'm sorry. There was an external server problem that was causing a few issues. The latest release has everything patched up.

Disappointing

I live in New Hampshire and it’s not listed in the app. But I’m not gonna complain about it because other people already have for the same reason. What I don’t understand is why they don’t just add all states because somebody was annoyed they didn’t have there state which i think was Missouri, then in the latest update they added Missouri which is good but if they can just add that state that they didn’t have before why don’t they have all states?

No Missouri

It would be nice to see the states list before downloading.

Lacking

I travel a lot for fishing tournaments. I got this app as a convenient way to check water levels for safe boating and fishing conditions. Although it includes many of the larger more well known lakes I fish, it does not include many of the lesser known lakes in my area... Also some states are listed but don’t include some of the most popular lakes in that state, while some states aren’t even listed! And you can forget about finding any river levels! I just don't understand the lack of comprehensiveness and inclusiveness of this app. It’s so close to being a good thing. Just finish it!

Won’t open

Just downloaded and won’t open.

Why say through out the country

The 2 states I fish in the most not available on app missing Kansas and Missouri
Deleted app

Works great....unless you use wifi

App works great but have to turn off wifi and use cellular data network for app to load.

State not listed

South Carolina is not listed.
Major Georgia lake - Clark's Hill not listed, nor is it listed as Stromboli's Thurmond.

Does not include all states

Would be great to have known Missouri Lakes were not included on the app before I downloaded it....the app is worthless if it doesn’t include the lakes in your state 😩

Missing Michigan

Why have a Lake app that doesn’t include the Great Lake state?

Response from developer

I’ve added some Michigan lakes to my database. There are very few metered lakes in the state. I had to design a different way to get the lake data, so the next release will be able to read the water levels. If you want a specific lake to be added, then let me know. I can’t guarantee acquiring the water levels.

Missing Lakes

Would love to give this app more than two stars, however we regularly boat on Lake Hartwell which is one of the biggest lakes in both South Carolina and Georgia. When you go to search Lakes by state SC isn’t even listed despite having wonderful lakes like Hartwell, Murray, Marion, Keowee and Jocassee. I thought Hartwell being a very popular lake between the two states would be listed under Georgia but sadly it was not. From what I could see of the details for the other lakes this would be a wonderful app, especially since there aren’t many out there.

Response from developer

I recently added South Carolina. If there is a specific lake that isn’t listed, please let me know. I’ll work on gathering the data. Not every lake is metered. Thanks!

Time saver...

Great app. I don’t have to pin web pages anymore to check lake levels, conditions, etc. Thanks for releasing this.
