Rapid reply to question & app works great!

I’m so lucky to have 4 rivers within a 10-30 minute shuttle! They’re small but beautiful, and my friends and I paddle them as often as possible. The smallest one is rain-sensitive and another is dam-controlled, so I always check their USGS gauge levels before setting out, to get an idea of how long our trip will be.When I got this app, I was disappointed bc I couldn’t see these small local gauges, and I emailed support that I might want a refund. THEN they pointed out the filter buttons to turn on to see more gauges, and there they were!Thanks from this 69 yo grandmom for saving me time when I’m ready to paddle!

I was pleasantly surprised by this simple yet robust app. Very clean and easy to use. Easily allows me to monitor River levels and send myself push notifications regarding different flood stages. Smart design and very responsive developer who emailed me back within minutes of asking a question. Ad free and bug free. Get this one.

Not great for fishing

Wish it had USGS flow charts instead of noaa charts (or at least the option to chose between them). NOAA charts don’t scale the y axis (flow in cfs) to the current levels so it’s hard to visually see if a river is rising or dropping. Some rivers show flow charts but most show gauge height instead which is far less useful in my opinion. River notification feature is lacking, it would be nice if you could set a notification when a river enters a particular flow range. Overall good interface but it lacks the features that are actually useful

Rarely ever accurate when compared to real time gages on the usgs website. I’m currently looking at West Branch of the Delaware at Stilesville,NY and the USGS website says 540 cfs while this app says .83kcfs which is the equivalent of 830cfs and means this app is off by almost 300 cfs. How can you be this far off ? Worthless app that I can’t believe I’ve wasted money on. And now I’m looking at the East Branch of the Delaware at Harvard in NY and you’re off by over 200cfs when compared to the USGS website! THIS APP IS GARBAGE AND TOTALLY UNRELIABLE FOR REAL-TIME STREAM FLOW. I highly recommend spending the extra money and buying Rivercast app instead which is what I did and couldn’t be happier!
