### 1/5 — Needs update

*2020-03-09, version 1.4*

Needs update as it doesn’t work properly. Hasn’t even been optimised for the bigger iPhone screens. Poor form from Seqwater

### 1/5 — Authoritarian

*2020-02-27, version 1.4*

Why on earth do I need an account to view details on water levels. What a joke.

### 5/5 — Good intel - good situational awareness

*2016-11-30, version 1.0*

I have been using this app to stay up to date with my favorite dams. Good to have all the info wrapped into one app. I love the geo-referenced radar!
