## Review summary

Users praise Beach Report Card for its clean design, timely NowCast data, and simple grades, especially for LA. However, reviews repeatedly cite major issues: LA-only coverage, apparent neglect/age of the app, and frequent startup failures or crashes. These problems undermine its usefulness for travelers or non-LA beachgoers and suggest limited current maintenance.

### Pros

- Clean, easy-to-use layout
- NowCast readings are timely and useful before swimming
- Simple, clear beach grades help quick risk assessment
- Useful for finding and tracking nearby beaches (proximity)
- Helpful for LA beachgoers to know conditions quickly

### Cons

- Limited geographic coverage: data only covers Los Angeles; not nationwide
- App appears abandoned or not updated; maintenance seems stagnant
- Frequent startup failures: splash screen, freezes, or nothing loads
- Not reliable for non-LA beaches (e.g., shows Tijuana or doesn't respect address)
- Not available or functional outside the West Coast (NY not supported)
