River Data App Reviews

Just an FYI to developers. Update on 6/7/16 gauge graphs are stuck at 6/5/16 and app is not fetching graph data. First app I go to on the morning! Great app always recommend to clients

Simple and effective. Easily able to check the water levels and temperature near my house before I head out for a run and swim with the dog.

If youre looks for river data, this is the app for you. A must have for kayakers or folks that live in areas with low water bridges.

Great app to easily deliver USGS data, quicker than using safari and going to the website. Great for canoeing or kayaking. Only issue is that I can get all states to work except Alabama. It gets stuck on the "Building river table..."

App is great and useful, but the favorite page has issues. Each time I click on the favorite page, random stations show up along with my favorites. I delete the random ones and they are back each time I click on favorites again. Fix and 5 stars.

I have same issues with Favorites list (above) but even more concerning, it wont seem to refresh to current time/date unless you back all the way out to the main list before returning to the gauge you are interested in. I can get gauge info quicker thru web browser. Useless app until it can refresh and maintain proper Favorites list.

App does not provide all sources of data at stations it monitors. Specifically for CO where I live. I know what data is available from the stations I looked at and the app only showed partial info. Also does not tap into all available stations on our local rivers.

Does everything I need it to. Was having issues with the graph being stuck on 7 days and emailed support and within hours had a response that a fix was sent to the App Store and that just uploaded today and the graph works. Great for planning a trip to see trends and how fast a river will drop to fishable levels.

Im an aquatic ecologist and frequently need to check on gauge height to when wading is possible, so this app is a neat trick.

Your list of sites in a given state starts out with a long list of sites that are groundwater wells. It takes a lot of scrolling to get to the first actual river site. For example, in Virginia, the first site is 09E 10 SOW 233 this is a well. Just edit out all the names that start with numerals.

Yes...yes...yes... I tip my cap to the creator. This is the app I have been waiting for when planning to kayak. Thank you..

It is always important to know river flow. This app is always right on. I check this even before the weather for my next weekend trip. Why bother if the water is too high to wade in??

Sweet app. I always need flow data when Im drifting my favorite rivers. Thanks!

I look at a couple of gauges in Texas everyday for business purposes. Been doing this since before the data was on the net. Couldt have our dredges swept away by a fast moving flood. This will be a great, fast tool that will let me see the gauges data I need without having to remember the USGSs website address. One suggestion, let me sort my favorite gauges in my own order vs alphabetically. Thanks.

Great app! Would be better if you could set alerts when a river was at a certain level.

Great to learn and compare from Before and after kayak trips I use here in mo And know what Im getting into to avoid bad situations and can now read the river patterns knowledge is power.

I use it to check different river levels & flow for tubing. Connects to USGS river monitors to give you real time accurate data. Recommended for all activities taking place in a river. Very convenient, thank you.

This app has been great but lately I cant get Calif Rivers loaded after several attempts including shutting everything down and reopening

Looks like nice app but we cannot load Pennsylvania so basically useless for us.

Glad to give the first review! Im giving this app 5 stars because it has made my 68 year old neighbor so happy. He is transitioning from a PC to iPhone, and he needed a way to check the water levels of local rivers to plan his fishing trips. I was afraid he would have to fumble through safari to find this data, but luckily I came across this awesome app that puts all the USGS data at his fingertips! It does have room for improvement but Im sure that will be addressed in future updates. The biggest thing I can see right now is that a full screen view for the chart is needed. Maybe a fit to screen option if you turn the phone sideways. That would make it easier to read while charting over a period of time. Thanks for the great app!
