the U.I. takes a little bit to get used to, but functionally, this app works great! once you get your favorites set up, all the info you need is right there and when the guages send new data, it immediately refreshes.

Hello Nat, RiverApp never asks for your Gmail or Google account password. You may need to sign in to your Google Play account to subscribe to RiverApp Premium, but this process takes place entirely outside of RiverApp and is handled directly by Google Play. Kind regards, Florian

What’s new

The map has been completely redesigned and now uses vector tiles: instead of being simple images, map elements adapt as you zoom. The result is faster loading and text that always stays sharper and easier to read.

A new topographic map is also available, with a better representation of relief and terrain.

We have also fixed numerous bugs and improved the app's overall stability.
