Die BachApp ist eine praktische und informative App für alle, die sich gerne rund um Rhein, Wiese und Birs aufhalten. Sie enthält: - Gewässerinformationen: Aktuelle Messdaten (Wassertemperatur, Pegel- und Abflussverlauf (inkl. Prognosen) zu Rhein, Wiese und Birs - Karte: Die Karte ist filterbar und enthält praktische Hinweise zu Orten rund um die Flüsse, so bspw. zu den empfohlenen Schwimmbereichen, WCs, Essen & Trinken, Grillstellen und mehr. - Infos: Neben interessanten Fakten zum Rhein, erfährt man hier, welche Events rund um den Rhein anstehen und wo es Baustellen gibt. - Am Fluss: Diese Rubrik beantwortet häufige Fragen, stellt diverse Wassersportarten vor und informiert zum rücksichtvollen Miteinander (#RHYLAX) sowie zum Naturschutz. Die Mehrheit der in der App verfügbaren Messwerte und Informationen fliessen über das kantonale Datenportal (https://data.bs.ch) in die BachApp. So kann sichergestellt werden, dass die Informationen jederzeit dem aktuell verfügbaren Stand entsprechen. Darüber hinaus stehen die Daten auf diese Weise auch als offene Behördendaten (OGD) unter https://data.bs.ch/explore/?q=tags=BachApp der Öffentlichkeit im Internet zur Verfügung. Das Projekt entspringt einer Smart-City-Initiative der Kantons-und Stadtentwicklung, die dazu mit den Entwicklern Tizian Hösch und Andreas Stebler, dem Sportamt, dem Tiefbauamt sowie der Fachstelle für Open Government Data zusammengearbeitet hat.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: BachApp at none against Swiss Post's shown. Swiss Post's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 7 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
