### 3/5 — this app is awesome

*2025-06-29, version 1.5*

This paddle map app has completely changed the way I plan my kayaking trips. The interface is super user-friendly, and the detailed waterway maps make it easy to discover new routes, launch points, and even hazards like rapids or portages. I especially love the offline maps feature — it’s a lifesaver when paddling in remote areas without cell service.

The community updates and trip logs are a bonus, giving real-time info from other paddlers. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced, this app gives you confidence on the water. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to explore safely and smarter!

### 1/5 — Really Bad With Location Services Off

*2024-07-12*

Good lord. There is great rafting, kayaking, paddle boarding in this area. 6 or 7 lakes, 3-4 rivers and the Appalachian Trail is not far away either.

The app presents nothing local, within 100km. App also last updated two years ago.

Finally, this app is advertised on Level Six’s website. Now I’m wondering about their longevity, qualities and products.

Either update or remove this app.

### 3/5 — Great Idea

*2024-06-23*

This APP looked so good on free maps. But it does not deliver. I have paddled in Lake Havasu, outside of Topock, and on the Colorado River. But there are no titles or descriptions as promised on Free Maps. It has potential and well received if they could fix it.

### 1/5 — Poor

*2022-08-23, version 1.5*

Downloaded the app, tried to find paddle routes in Kawartha Highlands which is huge and hugely popular: “no results “. Deleted the app.

### 1/5 — Poor

*2022-08-06*

No easy instructions 
Would not show points to set off where others do. I live in area of many rivers and it states there aren’t any and I should move to cool rivers.

### 4/5 — How to do a trip report?

*2022-07-30, version 1.5*

Just found the app. Paddling on the Cowichan River July 2022, and will try others like Chemainus River. Would love to be able to provide trip reports! How would we do this? Also, River distances would be great!

### 2/5 — Little Information For Ontario

*2021-06-18, version 1.3*

Incredibly limited information for Southern and Northern Ontario.

### 4/5 — Great resource

*2021-06-14, version 1.3*

Love it already - it’s great to see what is near me. That said, there seems to be a bug with it. If I look up the details for one area and go back to the main screen the app freezes for me and I need to close it and start again from scratch (filter settings, etc). 

Would be nice if it would remember the filter settings from last time and of course not freeze. Otherwise great!

### 3/5 — So far so good

*2021-05-11, version 1.1*

I wish it had the option to search areas, not just within a certain distance of your location.

### 4/5 — Awesome app

*2021-05-09, version 1.1*

This is a great app for anyone who paddles the waters. The only complaint that I have is you kind of need to know what you are looking for and where. Hopefully in a future addition you can pull up a map and see what’s around the area. Would make it easier to find new paddle areas that you haven’t been too.
