5/5An Awesome 1 Stop App for Hanalei
this is an excellent addition to your iPhone if you live on Kaua’i. It’s really awesome to be able to check the bridge height and other reports all in one place. They even have up-to-date traffic alerts about road work and other things. You can tell a lot of thought and effort went into this and it’s really awesome.

5/5Best App for North Shore of Kaua’i
I LOVE this app. It has so much helpful information for the North Shore of Kaua’i! This app has replaced 5 other apps I have been using. It’s awesome to have river height, weather, road work and much much more all in one app. Im thrilled to support the Hanalei Initiative who are doing amazing things to support the local community.

5/5Best App Ever!!!!
This app has changed my life!! It is so helpful and the peace of mind I get traveling to the north shore with my baby is priceless! If I am having a bad day, I just open this app. It never ceases to bring a smile to my face. I would honestly pay a premium price for this service yet it is absolutely FREE. Incredible!
