### 4/5 — Great App

*2026-02-18*

App gives me exactly what I need as a fly fisherman. The only problem is I cannot remove the Walker River from my favorites despite deleting it. It keeps reappearing with MY favorites and shows up as the default.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback.  We hadn’t encountered that bug, but I’ll add a fix to the next release!

### 5/5 — Great one stop resource.

*2025-05-06*

This is a handy app loaded with river flow data. A must for anglers and other connoisseurs of the great outdoors.

### 5/5 — Really handy app!

*2025-05-04*

Gets me the information I need, easily.  Nice to see recent conditions before I spend hours in the car heading to my fishing spots, too!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2025-04-26*

Looking forward to using this app on the next adventure.
