User Reviews

Users appreciate the app's potential for paddling trip planning, waterway mapping, and waypoint marking. However, many reviews highlight frequent crashes, glitches, incomplete data (e.g., rapids, campsites, ramps), intrusive permission prompts, and ads. Cost concerns were common, with users considering it expensive relative to its current capabilities. Overall, the app shows promise but requires significant improvements in stability, content completeness, and user experience to meet expectations.

Pros

Provides useful waterway mapping and planning features for paddling trips.
Allows users to save favorite routes and mark waypoints such as fishing locations and campsites.
Includes functions to measure water miles and navigate between launches.
User-friendly interface, praised by some users for ease of use.
Has potential for growth with user-generated content and updates, especially in less mapped areas.

Cons

App frequently crashes or freezes, especially when logging in or using key features.
Contains many bugs causing glitches, UI errors, and unresponsiveness.
Incomplete or lacking data for many rivers, rapids, boat ramps, campsites, and other important points.
Persistent and intrusive location permission requests and advertisements annoy users.
High subscription cost compared to competitors, with limited free features; many users feel the paid version does not justify the price.

I was really excited about this app, but when I go to search for a very popular river, it's not an option in the search bar. Also, I am trying to look at the rapids, and not one rapid is named. Yes, my button is on to show the rapids. This app is advertised as having all these features. However, it is not complete, and I feel I got ripped off paying for what I could find on Google maps or other map versions.
