## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Wild

*2021-08-27, version 1.1.9*

App broken can’t scroll to click buttons on 4th screen so unusable

### 2/5 — Good idea but cumbersome and not user friendly.

*2024-09-02, version 5.10.4*

Sorry guys I love the idea bit after a few days of go in g round in circles and no success just frustration, I cancelled my subscription and won’t bother again. 

I build websites and trust me that is way easier than trying to use your app lol…

### 3/5 — Swims not showing up

*2023-09-25, version 5.0.2*

I love this app and use it daily to teach my swims BUT the ‘calendar view’ of My Journal no longer shows any of my swims ☹️

### 4/5 — Needs more functionality

*2022-01-11, version 2.2.8*

Really useful app but it would be useful to allow removal of photos that an individual has previously uploaded.

### 5/5 — Great way to keep a record of swims

*2024-07-15, version 5.10.4*

Lovely easy to use app , love looking backing on where I’ve been

### 5/5 — Crowd Sourcing Joy

*2022-10-26, version 4.1.9*

So fab to have one place to find swimming spots that are shared by local swimmers.
The newer features around tracking and recording swims are fab and particularly useful as we move into winter and I plan to record my distances and temperatures for an honesty challenge!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2022-10-26, version 4.1.9*

I use this when travelling as well as tracking activity by my friends. The development team are always responsive to issues and feedback.

Would strongly recommend to any outdoor swimmers out there.

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2022-10-26, version 4.1.9*

This is an amazing app with really well intentioned (and capable) developers behind it.  I wouldn’t be surprised to see this becoming the home of Open Water Swimming at some point in the future.  Currently open water swimming groups organise themselves through Facebook, WhatsApp, Google documents and calendars, in person, Instagram, or a combination of some of the above. It will be wonderful to do all of this in one place. Sign up, have a look around, and enjoy the regular updates to content and functionality.  This app is worth using for the safety beacon feature alone (but there is so much more on offer).

### 5/5 — Great idea

*2022-07-16, version 2.4.6*

A lovely app with such a simple idea - to create an inventory of great places to swim. Will get better and better as people submit their suggestions.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2022-06-07, version 2.4.5*

Great app for finding local open water swim spots. The user reviews are helpful.

## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great information

*2022-05-19, version 2.4.2*

Very useful to have accessibility and parking etc for a new venue

### 5/5 — Works brilliantly for me

*2022-03-22, version 2.4.1*

I’m new to this app. Where we swim in Southend on Sea can be really tricky to find for visitors as all the beaches look the same. 
The multiple map options and the dropped pin work really well. 
I’ve had great communication with Rob via email who clearly wants everyone to have the best experience. 
If you’re unhappy about something, make a suggestion. The response time is really impressive and you feel listened to by a proper human being. Very happy so far.

### 5/5 — Inspiration

*2021-09-26, version 2.0.5*

The app has allowed me to find swim spots when I’m out of town. Allowing me to do what I love without endless trawling of the internet. App is very user friendly even for a technophobe like myself.

### 5/5 — What an awesome app

*2021-09-17, version 2.0.2*

I’ve been using this app for a few weeks now and I’ve found some incredible spots to swim! Thank you so much 🥳
