My “go to” Fishing App

I’ve consistently used River Data for the last 8 years. I’ve tried many, but this app provides all the essential information around CFS, water temperatures, gauge height and turbidity. I literally do not head out on the water without checking the River Data first.

The information in this app have transformed the way I fish, the rivers I choose on any given day and how I plan before venturing out. Thank you River Data for providing a vital source of information to maximize my fishing experiences!!

Great update

Thanks for keeping the app alive. It’s great to monitor my favorite swimming spots

Easy to use!

Easiest app to use to get access to all of USGS River gauges. I use it to monitor the flow and depth of my favorite kayaking and swimming holes.

Great app

Much easier than the USGS website.

Crashes immediately when pressing a state

This app crashes as soon as I try to select a state. It used to work. I don’t know what happened. It works OK on my iPad but not my phone

Response from developer

The app is working again. Apple someone crippled the app because my developer account was not up to date.
