dips vs BrrChecker

Ever stood at the water's edge and wondered what the temperature actually is? Yeah, me too. That's exactly why I made Dips! Dips is the simple, friendly app for anyone who loves getting in the water. Open up dips and it gets straight to work finding your nearest beach, pointing you in the right direction, and giving you a real-time read on water and air temperature before you take the plunge. What you get: - Your nearest beach - Real-time water and air temperature - Friendly condition ratings from Dangerously cold to Hot - A warm (or bracing!) welcome for every kind of swim day Go on. The water's waiting. Less wondering, more swimming.
