Try it free, no account needed. Open the app and browse the rivers and campgrounds from our Paddler's and Camper's Guides, check the weather, and take the free lessons. Make a free account when you want to save a trip. Scan a code or tap a link from a guide and it opens right here in the app. The Coach and offline maps are part of the paid app.

After you check in safe on your second trip, CWS now asks once whether you would rate it. It takes two taps and helps other paddlers find the app.

Works with no signal. Maps, your active trip and your saved places now open with no service. Your GPS track and your I'm Back Safe check-in are kept on the phone and sent when you reconnect. Overdue alerts. Set a return time when you start a trip. If you do not check in, you get a reminder, then the people on your float plan and your emergency contacts are told you are overdue. When you check in, they are told you are safe. Every campground, launch, trail and spring in the country, with rapids, dams, weirs and waterfalls marked as hazards. Tap Details for toilets, drinking water, hours, phone and website. Offline packs now cover every state. National Weather Service alerts on your trip, plus tides and river guides. The AI Coach asks before sending anything to Anthropic, and you can turn it off in Account. Redeem Offer Code on the Membership screen. Course quizzes now check what you learned, and certificates are issued once every module's quiz is passed. Delete your account from Account, and your personal data goes with it.

Fixes a crash on the trip detail screen, draws your saved waypoints every time the map opens, and camping, hunting, fishing and hiking trips now take a real location (a saved waypoint, a dropped pin or a place search) so weather, plans and satellite maps are for where you are actually going.

Fixes from a full audit: the river line loads even after a bad-signal open, GPS tracking survives an app restart without doubling your track, offline map downloads resume instead of starting over, you stay signed in with no signal, the trail guide reads your river gauge, and the trip map shows the same rivers, landings and camps as Explore.

The AI Trail Guide now knows where you are during an Active Trip. Ask how far you have left and it answers from your live GPS position, the planned route and your pace. Weather in the guide now comes from your actual position on the water, not the put-in.
