  1. 4/5Cool Concept

    Very cool concept. I think it has the potential to be the all in app for everything needed for whitewater paddling if a few things were improved. Continue to look for contributors to add data on rivers since the current data is very lacking. I’d say look to at least have what American Whitewater has in terms of data covered and then continue to add to that with local experts. Next, I find adding data is a bit difficult to be able to scroll down and hit submit. Lastly, in order to be in the premium category, I’d maybe consider teaming up with rain pursuit to get map overlays showing accumulated rainfall. This can help for those runs that don’t have a corresponding USGS gage. I think if the goal is to have this be one stop for paddlers this stuff is a must to get them to spend the money on the app. The ability for users to update will be helpful as well.

  2. 3/5Excited to see where this goes

    Hopping into the beta test for this - so if you’re reading this review in the future and I haven’t updated it yet, keep that in mind. I have high hopes for this app! Maybe it’ll be like alltrails for paddling. Things I think need some work currently: Needs more content. Only one route near me, but I know of so many more. The boat launch drop in/out locations should have addresses and an info page for parking, restroom access (if any), fees, photos. I’d love to see the ability for users to create their own routes. Lakes should be listed too, with boat ramp info. I SUP a lot on local lakes. It’s strange to me that there isn’t much of a navigation bar - I haven’t paddled yet but I would hope that the app will be able to record my route, and save that in a log. It would be awesome if it had some functionality similar to Strava for cyclists where you have your own profile and can follow others, share your routes etc. Another neat feature would be something similar to Waze where users could mark hazards on the route or create comments for others like “if the water is low stay left here” Pros so far: The app is smooth. No ads are a big plus. The map is beautifully done. I like the list view option (but it should tell me how far the route is from my current location too) This is an awesome concept that paddlers have needed for far too long!

  3. 3/5Has potential but needs some work

    This app is intuitive and visually appealing but lacks helpful content even in the membership version. There are claims about gaining more info on river details yet I only ever get the river distance in its entirety and nothing more besides a few major rivers in my state. Also when you create a route, the lines are wildly inaccurate. That being said, the gauge location/information and general map of rivers is nice to have and it is convenient to be able to save certain river gauges to keep an eye on levels. Suggestion: More river info (a lot more), allow local users to suggest/report boat launches on the map, create more accurate snap-to mapping, allow commenting so local users can share updates and info, incorporate a list of what is runnable like AW has, add important features like dams to the map. I look forward to the developers working out the kinks because someday this will be a fantastic app.

  4. 5/5Peace of mind

    I have used this app for a couple years now both on the Grande ronde and the lower salmon river for multi day trips and I am truly impressed with being able to track my location with no service, upcoming rapids river flows, hazards, pictures and all around great info which gives me peace of mind and allows me to know where I am at all times. Hands down the best river app out there!! Only thing I wish they would do is add more pictures and videos of the best ways to run the rapids. The only picture and info I saw was for Snow hole with info. Other than that the best I have seen out there would highly recommend for anyone on any body of water.

  5. 2/5Looks and feels good

    I was really surprised to see just how few rivers are listed in the database. I understand this must be a massive undertaking adding rivers and all the info. My biggest suggestion would be to allow route creation similar to Strava. In that app, which is a similar price point for yearly subscription, it’s very easy to create routes on any river in manual mode. Obviously PaddleWays will(or should) have to make their own user interface for this kind of feature. Given that there’s so many bodies of water it only makes sense to allow info creation from users. I’m in TN and REALLY surprised to see the pigeon on the map but not the Ocoee? I’m interested to see how the developers move forward with this app, but I believe most users are going to struggle to see the value in subscription unless something can happen quickly. I’m also not sure how this service can be better than using AW. Just my thoughts, would love to see where it goes!
