Best app ever
I think that in time this will be a great app. Still a little clunky and would like to see more of an AllTrails app style search. Adding in fishing options would make this more of a go to for kayakers, SUP and kayak fishing enthusiasts.
Great idea, but the app only shows marinas in my area,any of which are private or charge for parking. Definitely needs improvement.
Just got the app and so far it looks great. I wish it would quit asking me to get the paid upgraded version, but that’s to be expected these days. The only issue I have with it in the 10 minutes I’ve used it is that I can’t seem to correct erroneous data/information. At the very least submit a correction for review or something along those lines. Other than that it seems great!

It’s awful
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!

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

5 stars app for shure
Downloaded after my gf saw the ad, looked cool but I knew it was a pay to play from a mile away. But in order to do ANYTHING other than looking at a map you have to pay $50 a year. Such bs.
I love the app i use it all the time just to explore new possible areas but that being said i have a group on here and caint talk chat or anything to my members please do some work make it easy to welcome people invite more reach out and be able to communicate bring paddlers together let me @ account names and put more effort in to socialize and just to let more member know when your out paddling

They sent me an email for a 50% off offer from $49.99 a year to $24.99. I selected the “Save Now” button and was charged the full amount of the $49.99. Where is my $25.00 savings?
Nothing in Canada this app is useless if your from Canada
Very helpful app, just what I need for paddling.
This app is fantastic — it has every feature I would ever need! I think it would be cool to have some sort of fitness tracker built in, but that’s a big ask. The bathymetry map for my home state is super nice as well!
