Great resource

This app just gets better every year 👍

What happened to all the rivers in Washington Statr?

This app used to be fantastic, but now it doesn’t appear to recognize ANY of the significant rivers in Washington state and appears to be similarly blind to Oregon rivers.

What happened?

Dead

No longer works. Been weeks.

Response from developer

The v4 update just released should fix things up - let me know (email preferred) if you experience issues.

What happened???

I used this app daily for a few years and now it’s completely useless. Please make some updates to revive this! It was the best and easiest way to check the river everyday.

Sadly - now seems dead Excellent FISHING (esp trout) app: convenient USGS stream info at the ready

Update: sadly, now seems dead. I hope it will be revived.

This free app is the simplest, cleanest and quickest way to check USGS stream data: flow, temperature, precipitation, whatever the stream gauges collect. The interface isn’t the most intuitive, but after a few minutes use it’s a snap. Excellent.

I hope the developer will allow higher resolution maps for offline usage, as modern devices have plenty of storage to accommodate that data.

The v4 update just released should fix things up - let me know (email preferred) if you experience issues. The offline map resolutions can be increased in settings, and I've increased the maximum resolution substantially. The current storage format used for the offline maps is inefficient at higher resolutions, and I'll have to look into swapping that out before I can enlarge things any further.

Great info, hard to update

Love the information provided but haven’t been able to get refreshed data in about 2 days.

Great App

This is my go to app for checking water levels for whitewater kayaking. Thanks!

This app is exactly what white water paddlers have been looking for. Fantastic compilation of data sources. Carefully built, beautifully displayed. A keeper.

This might be the best whitewater river app

This app is specifically written for whitewater rivers. It includes a map with a pin for every river gage in US and Canada. Whatever you want in a whitewater river app, it probably already exists in this app. And there is a link for each river for you to submit suggestions to the developer.

Rivers.run

Amazing resource for paddlers! It has everything you would want and things you did not think of - River levels, gauges, gps coordinates, directions and maps to put in and take out, searches of your favorites you can share with friends. Very intuitive and user friendly. This will be so helpful as I branch out to new rivers in my area and across the country.
