In the new version it doesn't seem to show whether the beach is closed unlike the old version, maybe it's somewhere not obvious but I can't find it.... Thanks for the change, it's clear now!

I only used this when I was on holiday but it helped immensely. I was able to tell if the swell was too big for me if it was sandy or windy. I could tell what beaches were patrolled which is really important. It helped me decide to go to the beach or not

like the details on each beach, accurate for my local beaches.

Should've been a Beta — or Alpha. Obviously not tested properly on Android devices. The bottom Android UI (standard with Samsung Galaxy) blocks the bottom menu entirely. Yesterday there was crashing. They're clearly doing the most basic testing using the public. This isn't how you do app devellopment...
