Too difficult

It’s awful

Hassle

I had been on the app, literally no more than 30 seconds when I was repeatedly reminded to leave a review. I left a negative review as a result. The developers contacted me and they have made some notification adjustments which allows the viewer to go to the area they’re looking at instantaneously. I found directions to put in for a paddle on Saturday. Thank you Paddleways!

Trouble with subscription

From what I can tell the app allows you to find and set different locations. I have not been able to get the full use out of the app as I paid for the premium subscription but it is still showing a free subscription. I emailed support and they have yet to respond.

No Rapid info

The app is decent enough as is however there is barely any information on rapids if you are into white water rafting or kayaking this app misses the mark.

Not at all user friendly.

If you type in a very specific location. It only gives you the city and doesn’t label any of the points by name only an icon.
