Ratings and reviews

Decent as a sorce of information but a horrible interface. Very annoying design. Expect to start over frequently, and go thru the lifejacket nag screen. Almost more trouble than it's worth. EDIT: Hasn't gotten better. So difficult for the community to provide the info that would make the app useful. UPDATE: It's now been abandoned and is totally useless. They need to sell the app portion of the business.

I'm very happy that this app exists. It's really helpful to find launch locations that are rated by other paddlers. The interface works pretty well. I'm not able to add comments though because it keeps prompting me to log in, and doesn't recognize that I'm logged after I do. The user reviews are the most useful aspect so I hope others don't have the same trouble.

So underwhelming. I want the Alltrails/Trailforks of paddling but this is effectively just a map of boat ramps. I'm unable to search/filter by features (like parking) or find paddle trails of a certain type (no whitewater, calm, out-and-back). Favorites don't show up on the website. Creating a "trip" is way too complicated and regimented - I just want a simple bucket to store options in with personal notes. And dont nag me about PFD every startup. Once is enough. So much lost potential.
