    Looks like a great up but there is no stream data for anything. Maybe it’s behind the paywall? But without simple USGS data that I can get for free why would I use this app? Let alone pay for it?
  • Love the app

    Free app is very limited. It's a crowd sourced, yet paid app. If it had more features in free app I might use it. No incentive to provide information like free month after a few edits. Probably keep using other app and other online resources.
  • A great app but I wish they would be honest

    They keep throwing free at you in all the adds and not until you download do you find out they only tease with a little free info and you need to pay to get anything substantial. That said it’s worth the cost I just don’t like dealing with people that work that way.
  • Stoked to see where this goes!

    I’ve been looking for an app that makes getting on the water easier. I’m stuck in a rut of going to the same place to paddle over and over again.
  • Not worth the money

    No flow info or flow level guidance which is absolutely essential for safety when encouraging river access. Descriptions of rapids I know on the South Fork American are either wrong or incomplete, and a few descriptions provide dangerous advice (Troublemaker (“swim to either side”) and Second Threat (“fun to swim”). A quality company like NRS should not be in the chain of liability for something as incomplete and erroneous as this app. Thankfully, there are plenty of free web sites with far better information on access, safe flows and the runnable lines.
  • Looks 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!

    I got a ad in a recent NRS purchase, was excited. Once I got into it, it has very little data or rivers for Ohio, and surrounding areas. Rendered it useless for me. It’s basically just a simple mapbox app, nothing special.
