Ratings and reviews

I want to like the product. Since using it, it just has so many glitches for what you're paying for. For example when you're recording a route, the keyboard to add waypoints while recording bounces all around making it hard to record a waypoint on the float. I also couldn't take coordinates from Google and search for them, which makes it hard to start to try to get all your spots into the app. I do like the journal feature. I wish there were more icons, like wading.

2025-11-28 Update after several App updates, onWater worked again on my phone (only internet device I have) a few weeks ago. I am very happy. 2025-07? App no longer opens. Google mssg states that app can't open due to a bug the needs to be fixed.

so far I'm underwhelmed. Charging so much money should require the app to have far fewer "coming soon" notices. I plan to take advantage of the week trial but it's hard for me to see how I'd keep using it. Coming soon, eh? How soon?
