### 4/5 — Good but Google Maps no good for rivers

*2021-10-29, version 1.5.0*

Not as good as the old website because maps are now based on Google Maps, which are far inferior to OS for planning river trips.  The interface is easier to use.

### 4/5 — Great idea

*2021-07-15, version 1.5.0*

Great idea, very useful app. I think it might need some improvements. I’m new to it and learning to use it.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2021-05-18, version 1.5.0*

Such a good app, would say it’s better than GoPaddling. It’s definitely got room for improvements I.e being able to filter the Grade numbers would be a great feature and even a photo library/users Journal. Taking some of the goods from GP app even marking new trails. This app would storm the market I think with those features. But overall superb and free!

### 5/5 — Great work!

*2020-01-07, version 1.3.1*

App works great! Thank you very much for all your efforts, we use this every time we go paddling.

### 5/5 — Fab!

*2019-11-05, version 1.3.1*

Always used rain chasers for level info and this app is simply brilliant!! Thank you!!
