User reviews

Unusable if you don't pay

Too many pop ups and restrictions to get you to pay for the app.

Unable to create an account or sign in last couple months.

App unfortunately won’t let me sign or create an account by any method, page just refreshes with any method you choose, and nothing progresses.

Hassle

I have been on the app, literally no more than 30 seconds when I was repeatedly reminded to leave a review. I hadn’t even gotten a chance to see what the map look like. That’s why I gave him one star review. I’ll use it for six months and then we’ll see.

Not a lot of data

Being a young female I really can’t go explore places to paddle without knowing for sure where to go, what the conditions are like etc. I literally live on a peninsula and know there are places I can go… but this app doesn’t give the info needed. For example, it would be nice to know the type of waters they are. Is it swampy, what type of wildlife, etc. There are places marked near me I know FOR SURE has gators and sharks and people would never ever recommend you paddle there… yet that’s not listed on the app. I fear naive people might get hurt using this app without it listed!!
