User reviews consistently praise the app for its river variety, color-coded difficulty, and usefulness, but many express frustration over the removal of favorites, loss of quick-running status visuals, limited filtering, and a frustrating redesign that reduces usability.

- App is evolving with user feedback and volunteer-driven improvements
- Useful resource for planning trips and checking river levels

### Cons

- Loss of color-coded map/quick view of running rivers; harder to tell which rivers are active
- Filtering/searching by flow, difficulty, or state is limited or unavailable
- Poor UI redesign; confusing navigation and removal of familiar options
- Login/sign-in issues and password-manager incompatibility; sessions/logouts
