1. is the app not syncing or you just dont have any beaches listed?Very helpful, lots of locations, even though, inevitably, you just discovered that empty tiny beach... - which is not covered...The app helps identify... acceptable lakes, rivers to swim at...it helps prevent people from getting affected by different kind of bacteria which they never know existed in the placeLike the idea, wish there was a way to filter search for fresh and saltwater since I live by a sea inlet but prefer to swim in freshwater lakes.This app is awful, I live right on the border of Devon and Cornwall and the closest beach it can find is...youghal...that's 310 km away nope sorry rubbish!!nice app with useful information.
2. Definitely made for a stress-free outing.The app was great up until sometime during summer 2022 when beach water quality seemed to stop being updated even though they are tested regularly and information posted publicly online.Absolutely awesome that they FINALLY created an app that people can rely on for information on the quality of the water one plans to frequent! It is user friendly and provides exactly what the public needs! Thank you!8 beaches showing in ireland.
3. Knowing the beaches that test well consistently gave us all a fearless day of fun that we were able to completely prepare for our needs and itinerary in advance thanks to the thorough explanation of the resources and amenities available.
4. But, I don't know how trustworthy it is: I've seen mis-matches between the online map icon and the info one gets when they click on the icon (website)...and also mis-matches between the info/rating for a place on the website versus the phone app.
5. When one says the place is green/safe...and the other red/not safe...which are we meant to believe? Defeats the purpose/usefulness of the app.
6. This helped the family to find a beautiful, safe environment without the fear of contracting ear infections and such the following days.
7. the beach i found the poster at isnt even listed.
8. Were this fixed, it would be 5*.Best app idea! Now I'm not scared to swim in a lake.
9. Great concept.
