Safer seas is an essential app and the only reliable way of finding out if sewage has been discharged before you get in the sea. In most cases there is no other way of knowing, so it could literally be a lifesaving app. The only reason I don’t give it five stars is that sometimes the alert history does not correctly load, so you can’t always see recent data. The alert notification and status of the beach always work and I am sure the minor bug will be fixed soon.Thank you for this amazing service.
I have long been a supporter and admirer of Surfers Against Sewage and all of the work they do, so when I saw this app promoted on their social media I downloaded it immediately. It allows me to be confident as to when and where I (and my children) swim each day. It has also made me aware of the shocking regularity of poor water conditions in our area and made us all the more committed to pressuring our local government to do something about it
This is a fabulous app for anyone wanting the latest update on beach and sea conditions in their area. Living on the coast we were recently subjected to a sewage spill in the sea. This app kept us up to date on our own beach conditions but also surrounding areas to allow us to search for a beach/bathe area we could visit. Regularly visits to the app notifies us that our beach was now open which proved valuable. Thanks for a great app!
This app is an absolute life-saver. I check it every time I want to go for a swim to know the water will be safe to get into. I never go to the beach without checking it first, because it also has some super handy info on tide times and surf conditions. I especially love the fact that I can add all my local beaches to the watchlist and I can get alerts as soon as a sewage spill happens. Highly recommend!! 👍
About time criminal water companies were held to account for their destruction of the environment for profits. Everyone should install this app and use it to give a real picture of what’s happening in our waterways, lakes and seas in the UK. If you’ve ever been sick after a surf (not pleasant) or whatever you do in the water, or just don’t want to chance getting sick you need this app.
I have been using the surfers against sewage app for the last year and I'm so impressed with this new update. The watch list makes it super clear when there is an alert for a certain beach and I love the updated profile section. Seeing and sharing the news articles is also such an added bonus. Nice work!
