Canals.UK Reviews
Caledonian Canal distance wrong
The app says that the distance from Dochgarroch Lock to Tomnahurich Swing Bridge is 318.45 miles when in fact it is only 3.5 miles, out by a factor of 100. It might be better to use Waze to calculate distances.
Not very impressed
Have paid for the pro version twice now, and both times it has still not allowed me to access the upgrade. I was hoping to use this app when we come over to the UK in January and February to cruise the canals with a view to buying our own narrowboat. Will just have to stick to Nicholson’s
Great app 👍
I’m finding this app very useful 👍still learning how to use it but very happy 👍👍
Great for Planning
This is a very good app for planning journeys. The route planner is simple to use and with a little experience you can tune the speed / lock times such that you will get a very reasonable estimate of the route time. However, it is not as good as other apps for showing you progress along your route; it could do with a speed display, a more logical and relevant logging feature, and a better background map. Also, it does like to have the internet, not always available on UK canals! Despite all my comments, I will be using this app regularly before and during my canal trips.
Cannot get it to work!
Route planner drop down won’t drop down .Search bar won’t search.
No River Great Ouse navigation
Missing Ouse river navigation which I need the most. Update 22/09/2023: Just to clarify: Missing are River Great Ouse River from King's Lynn to Bedford and River Cam from Ely to Cambridge.
Review
Difficult, nay impossible, to change the destination from Fazely to the River Thames as I wanted to plan a route! Frustrating!
Awesome App
So easy to use, really TOP 👍
My go to app for quick routing calculations
We are a serial electric hybrid boat and, by choice, cruise at a slower speed than many boats. This app enables you to customise your speed so that you get an quick and more accurate estimate of how long a particular journey might take you. You need to “Go Pro” to do this but it’s money we’ll spent in my opinion.
