Still getting familiar with it. I'm optimistic, It can give me all the info I need in one or two taps. ### 5/5 — Exceptional *2026-06-10, version 5.16.1* Great data, great user interface and exceptional service!! Asked for additional stations to be added and within a couple days, 90 more stations were added. ### 5/5 — Helpful *2026-06-10, version 5.16.1* We live near a river and have to watch for flooding. This app is updated regularly and able to keep my concerns at bay ### 5/5 — Water level *2026-06-09, version 5.16.1* Great way to track for trips! ### 4/5 — Solid flow data app *2026-06-08, version 5.16.1* Overall a good flow data app. The forecast (when available) and seasonal trends features are what set this app apart from the rest. I just wish it had a way to organize favorite gauges by watershed. Instead of having one big list with all my favorites on it there could be drop down tabs with custom naming options so I can collapse gauges I don’t want to see right now. ### 5/5 — Beste Kajak App fürs Handy *2026-06-08* Nach wie vor schon seit Jahren ein zuverlässiger Begleiter auf allen Flüssen. Vielen Dank dafür. ### 5/5 — Best app for river runners *2026-06-03, version 5.16.1* Been running rivers around the world for 20+ years. This app makes it easy to watch the water and plan accordingly. ### 5/5 — River information *2026-05-30, version 5.16.1* On of my favorite apps ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-05-29, version 5.16.1* I use this every day to check river levels. Works flawlessly and gives me the six levels I need to watch all in one setting. Great app !!!! ### 5/5 — Best app ever *2026-05-28, version 5.16.1* It doesn’t get any better! Thanks River App for making it easy and safe to boat! ### 5/5 — Owner *2026-05-28, version 5.16.1* No way this much information is free if you fish or run rivers this app is a must a massive thank you to people who made it ### 5/5 — Awesome apps *2026-05-27, version 5.16.1* I love this app, it’s been spot on the last 3 years I have been using it. ### 5/5 — Simply works *2026-05-25, version 5.16.1* Got my favorites and check it - catch fish. It works and is simple ### 5/5 — Niveau pour pratique pêche *2026-05-20* Niveau précis, pour la pratique de la pêche, informé en temps réel des niveaux et nous fait prendre conscience de la situation des rivières avec les débits ### 5/5 — Très bonne application *2026-05-20* Mon activité me demande de contrôler la cote de plan d’eau, et les données sont très fiable. Cette application est devenu un outil indispensable pour moi. Je ne manque jamais d’en faire des éloge à mes collègues. ### 5/5 — Go to app for river and lake levels, trip planning and real-time changes *2026-05-16, version 5.16.1* I use this app frequently to plan river trips. I look at annual averages and recent trends. While on the river I check upstream for changing conditions if I have cell service. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — What is wrong with the Saugeen river chart near port Elgin Ontario *2026-08-21, version 6.1.1* I’ve been trying to check for Atleast a week for the water level and it hasn’t been available ### 1/5 — Update *2026-05-24, version 5.16.1* The new update has a bug where the levels don’t show ### 1/5 — Get the info for free from usgs *2026-05-19, version 5.16.1* They only allow you to see 2 days of river flow data and then charge you to see more. You can get the info for free from usgs, which is where they steal the data from anyways and then try to profit off of it. ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-01-06, version 5.15.9* This app shows a 24 hour window on river conditions for free then charges to show beyond that. It’s public data you can easily Google - USGS river data is free and far better than this junk. The UI is garbage compared to the USGS website. Save your money and space on your phone. ### 1/5 — Brak Polski *2025-07-04, version 5.15.5* Brak Polski ### 1/5 — 11 Jahre gibs die App *2025-04-25, version 5.14.1* Nun schon laut Rezessionen und dann findet man nichtmal die Schwentine in Kiel 😄. Junge Junge Junge. Gleich wieder gelöscht. ### 1/5 — Stazioni *2024-09-26, version 5.13.1* Purtroppo da tempo molte stazioni sul fiume Ada e riportano solo la portata in metri cubi e non il livello. Scrivere agli sviluppatori non serve a nulla ### 1/5 — River app *2023-12-18, version 5.10.1* Sometimes when you really need it it’s not updated ### 1/5 — Missing information *2023-11-28, version 5.9.0* There are a lot of important gauges missing in the Pacific Northwest area. I have sent multiple requests and I haven’t received a single response from anyone. It’s disappointing having an app that doesn’t have any support for their product. Update: I was contacted by the developer to send an email to update. I sent an email right away and still no response. Poor customer service. Downgraded to 1 star ### 1/5 — Does Not Work on certain rivers *2022-07-29, version 5.2.1* This app DOES NOT work with Levisa Fork River in KY ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best app for monitoring rivers *2026-08-21, version 6.1.1* App has clean design and is easy to use. I can save favorite rivers, look at historical data, etc. I have used many apps to plan self-support river trips in my canoe. This is by far the best. ### 5/5 — LOVE!!! *2026-08-21, version 6.1.1* Love this app, user friendly, always works, love the alarms so I can plan paddles around storms and dam releases. ### 5/5 — 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 *2026-08-05, version 6.0.2* Great Resource. Thank you ### 5/5 — Unverzichtbar *2026-08-01* Kaum vorstellbar, wie die Orientierung früher ohne App möglich war. Die Pegelinfos sind unverzichtbar, ebenso die Kommentarfunktion, der Pegelalarm und Ortsdaten. Natürlich wären ein eigenes Fahrtenbuch und Flussabschnittsbeschreibungen noch super, aber dafür gibt es ja z.T. auch andere Quellen. ### 5/5 — Nicht nur für Paddler *2026-07-14* Nutze die App auch als Sportbootfahrer. War auf der Elbe mit den Gezeiten sehr hilfreich bei der Tourplanung 👍👍👍 ### 5/5 — AMAZING!! *2026-07-06, version 6.0.1* Really great app! Easy ui, intuitive graphs and a nice map feature. Being able to have a notification for when a river is at runnable levels has been instrumental in getting late season runs on smaller rivers. ### 5/5 — Green River in Hart County Kentucky *2026-06-26, version 5.16.1* Let me see daily, the impact of Green River Dam on Green River in Hart County ### 5/5 — Perfect! *2026-06-23, version 5.16.1* This is such a handy app to utilize whenever you’re planning to paddle down a river. It’s concise and very easy to read. Our entire family uses it to help ensure the safest paddle possible. ### 5/5 — Tolle App!!! *2026-06-20* Super App, um Pegelstände aktuell abzurufen, ein und ausrüsten, mit Koordinaten zu finden und sich aktuell über Gefahrenstellen zu informieren, die man auch selbst einstellen kann. Toll ist in der Premium Version, dass man alte Wasserstände über lange Zeiträume nachvollziehen kann. Für mich lohnt sich die Premium Version. Danke an die Entwickler. ### 5/5 — 👍 *2026-06-20, version 5.16.1* 👍 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
