Brilliant app! I searched not expecting to find an app that would cover any uk river let alone my small sections of fly fishing brooks. But here they all are! Excellent work! Not sure how this can be free, I’d pay and the designer should really be recouping some reward for their hard efforts designing such a useful tool. Cheers.
Just Short of Perfection

It's absolutely fantastic that someone has taken the time (and skill) to create an app of this quality for a sport as niche as kayaking; thank you!It almost feels ungrateful to suggest how the app could be improved, but if it were possible to view a map showing icons that correspond to a river's current level, that would make this my one stop shop for planning paddling trips - even if the app could list rivers in order of distance from the user or a certain point, just to help people quickly see what's running near them, and even discover new runs in their local area, I'd be over the moon.
Good app BUT ...

I love this app. We live in a flood zone so I use it a lot and it’s almost always up to date.I dropped two stars because, even though I’ve paid for the premium version I have just started seeing adverts even though my premium is enabled. The reason I paid was to remove them, so why are they back? I don’t expect this to happen and I don’t expect to have email to complain either after I e paid almost £7 for an app.Please sort this out ...
Great for fly fishermen!

When fishing spate rivers, or just to simply see what the levels of your favourite river might be, this app makes it so easy to find out.You really ought to push this towards the game fishing community as well as the canoe / kayak community!
Organize your favorites! Create folders to group your rivers, gauges and paddling spots. Open or close them and rearrange them with drag and drop. When you add a favorite, choose its folder right away.
Zooming on charts has been massively improved.
