Love this app! We typically are on a river, so it's so great to be able to determine where to embark, disembark, and how long the paddle will be with just a few clicks. Or for my more impatient paddle friends, how far along we are on our paddle. I wish I didn't have to pay to save my routes, but c'est la vie!

I use this app to find kayak launch points near ideal fishing spots on the intracoastal and indian river lagoon. I love that I can create my own path from the launch to where I want to go and it measures the distance I will be traveling. Very easy to use and the free version offers just what I need the app for.
Charlie Gutridge
Lots of possibilities. But the free version is very glitchy and lacks a lot of detail, like maybe dangerous dams on the Susquehanna that need to be portaged river left. And kayak campsites. Been using onX for my map planning for years. Paddle Ways has promise, but it's almost twice the price of onX and has shown enough value for me. At $20 a year I'd support, but not $50. Mods, message me if things change.

Great potential but buggy as all get out. Literally unusable. I try to load data from a local dam and they can't load the data for water conditions other than water temperature. I have to launch another app which can give me depth and flow. If I check another spot down the river suddenly I can't zoom in/out or select the next checkpoint on the river as it just does nothing. Relaunching the app will fix it but only for the first minute of use. Great potential if it actually worked for once!

I was really excited about this app, but when I go to search for a very popular river, it's not an option in the search bar. Also, I am trying to look at the rapids, and not one rapid is named. Yes, my button is on to show the rapids. This app is advertised as having all these features. However, it is not complete, and I feel I got ripped off paying for what I could find on Google maps or other map versions.
