NC Waterfalls App ### 4/5 — App is pretty organized *2025-07-30* App lists out falls and gives good info on free, would like a gray out on the falls when mark as visited that would be nice ### 5/5 — Fantastic! *2023-12-13* Love the app! ### 5/5 — Keep checking!! *2023-07-02* I purchased this app and for 2 days nothing showed up. I’m not sure if it were a glitch or if the app was down. I had originally gave it 1 star review because I spent $20 and it didn’t work. I deleted the app several times and kept giving it a try and today it popped up with over 300 places to visit. I’m excited to explore a few of these places with my family and friends. I’m really glad I didn’t give up. It’s very informative and has sooo many great details. Definitely a 5 star app even if for 2 days I couldn’t get anything on the map or list. I hope they keep improving and adding to it. Definitely worth the $20 to see all the falls and hikes **Developer response:** Westssiide13, Thank you for your support. And sorry for the glitch. We had a glitch in the system on June 30 to July 1 with our server. We've update our system to make it more robust. ### 5/5 — Great for family trips *2023-06-08* Our family loves to hike and find waterfalls. We found this app this year and have used it several times to help use find waterfalls, especially ones that are not well known. We had no idea how many falls were in NC. The app shows pictures of the waterfall, gives trail directions, & driving directions. One stop shop and totally worth the premium version. ### 5/5 — Great videos and commentary *2023-05-21* Will definitely be trying some of these! ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2023-05-12* So much easier than a book! ### 5/5 — Wow- so many more waterfalls to discover *2023-02-24* My family and I love to hike to waterfalls, especially in NC. We have used a book in past but it was hard to figure out where they were and how to get there especially with no reception. I was able to find a great waterfall for my kids and I and then find several more right near us to hike. Love I can click on it and then it takes me to my map and takes me there. I know it’s new and they are adding features but so far it’s worth my money to save me time and the ease of finding new falls. Keep up the good work. - from a directionally challenged mom ### 5/5 — Great for hikers *2023-02-12* I had no idea that there were this many waterfalls around NC. It’s really neat to see them all on a map and decide which one to explore next! ### 5/5 — NC waterfalls great app *2022-10-06* I love nature, and this apps takes you to some wonderful creations of God that are a very short walk from the car and others not so close. But because the app has so much info, your biggest surprise is the beauty of the waterfall. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
