Paddle Ways - Lets Go Paddling for Negative User Reviews

✓ Hard to tellIt might be a great app, looks like it would be, but I couldn’t really tell. There is supposedly a free 14-day trial to test it out, but every time I tried to access any of the features it threw up an upgrade-to-premium payment screen. I went ahead and payed because I was sure I wanted the features, got an email confirming my subscription and receipt of payment, but it still persists in displaying that annoying upgrade pop-up when I try to access the features. Hence it might be great, but I can’t tell since I still can’t get into anything. I gave it three days to allow time for payment processing, updating status, or whatever might need to happen in that line, but after that when nothing changed I canceled my subscription. No point paying for an app that refuses to be used..GeroogeVersion: 1.2.1

✓ Beautiful but still very BetaAt the top of my “needs” list for a Whitewater reference app is quick access to Flow data. This app currently has no flow data. It’s super sexy and pretty until shows you it’s toothless smile. With NRS involved I expect the content to improve. I’ll definitely be checking back but for now there are several superior solutions for traveling whitewater boaters..FlowstatedaleVersion: 1.1.1

✓ Not worth the moneyTerrible app, needs a lot of work.River-guyVersion: 1.3.1

✓ Offline Maps UselessThe best part of this app would be the offline maps - however if you zoom in enough to actually differentiate between the points of interest (camps, rapids, etc) in an offline map, the points of interest disappear. Could be a great useful tool… eventually. Also, would be nice if I could download specific sections of rivers. I don’t need to download the entire Salmon River (ID) if I’m only boating on the Lower Salmon section..JmstrangerVersion: 1.0.5

✓ App is even dangerousNo 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..JoeNorCalVersion: 1.3.0

✓ Check back in laterVery few rivers in my region included and no flow data..RVApaddlerVersion: 1.1.3

✓ Needs more valueFormat is not very intuitive and favorites list makes you go a long way to find flows. They should bring flow data directly to the favorites list. Common runs in my area are not yet included. Detail provided for runs is minimal. Rapids data is canned and not specific. Not ready for $2/month and certainly not $9/month. Unfortunately..River PeachesVersion: 1.1.1

✓ Not goodI 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..Ohio ZonianVersion: 1.2.3

✓ Has promise, but needs workI agree with a lot of the comments about the need for more rivers,etc. My constructive criticism is that while the interface looks good on my iPhone, it is almost unusable on my iPad. I have the large screen pro with tons of memory and the latest iOS. It looks like a blown up phone screen but half the words are only visible. While I’m excited to use it ob my phone, I’d prefer to do any trip planning on the larger screen of the iPad. I cannot talk to whether this is an issue on any other platform (android, etc.).Ja¡WølfVersion: 1.1.5

✓ Password Reset/Forgot Password Function Does Not WorkStill waiting for reset email.SkipTracingDeadbeatVersion: 1.1.5

✓ Has PotentialI think this has potential; but there are significant gaps in the river data. How are rivers added? How can users submit real time beta? From southern Idaho, popular runs are missing. Payette: Cabarton, Canyon, Swirly Canyon. Boise River: No data I think the price point is reasonable if the data is there. At this time, I cannot renew after the trial ends..Pin-seekerVersion: 1.1.5

✓ Has potentialUnless paying the app doesn’t let you see much, currently it’s not worth it to pay for the subscription but that may change as it receives updates..Player3839028373919Version: 1.1.5

✓ No useful valueThe promise in the App Store is that this app is great for all paddle sports, but unless you are interested in white water in a select few states it is COMPLETELY USELESS. In a state with literally thousands of routes and several water trails available for multi day trips they list 5 short whitewater spots that you can find on Waze.DanReiss107654Version: 1.0.4

✓ Has PotentialThis app has potential, but it is useless if you live in the middle of the country. I live in Memphis, and it doesn’t have *any* of the rivers I searched for within five hours of me. Not even the Mississippi! Looks like it’s made for folks who live in the Pacific NW or New England..PetuniolVersion: 1.1.4

✓ Maps ok database needs workThe maps look good and points of interest appear accurate (MapBox) but the trips database is weak. For example the Lower Deschutes is described as one trip of 110 miles. It is actually a day trip and two overnights with a mandatory exit at Sheers Fall. I noticed several other similar issues in other rivers. Some of the data appears to be from the AWA. They should get more data from similar sources. The free trial may be crippled too much to properly review but not enough there to justify going for a year subscription even with the 50% discount at this point..JimG-BendVersion: 1.1.2

✓ Looks and feels goodI 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!.Kevin BoaterVersion: 1.2.6
