River Thames Guide Reviews

Journey planner doesn’t work

Bitzer01 on

United Kingdom

On the River Thames journey planner, you can select the star position but won’t let you select a destination unless you close and reopen the app

Map will not fully load

Mikofil on

United Kingdom

When I call up the map it will only partly load on my (latest) iPad Pro. I have tried in various places at many times including at home with high speed broadband, also on the Thames using phone data. It is just not useable. Maybe needs an iOS update? Can you guys fix this please.

The River THAMES App

Micskibrown on

United Kingdom

Very good informative App would help if you could forward the App to friends from within the App via tweeter / e-mail. Also when viewing an area with a Apple iPad it would help to be able to zoom in and view the area without it reverting back to the large map when you take off your two fingers off the screen. Very good App keep up the good work

Please don't remove detailed views

llllkkk on

United Kingdom

Won't be taking the latest update that removes detailed zoom views. These are the most useful! Otherwise would rate 4-5.

An invaluable boaters guide.

Excellent App for both novice and experienced boaters. Comprehensive information makes this App a "must have" on board! Having most of the information available without the need for internet connection is also a major plus.

Excellent app in all respects , very useful for planning purposes .

Fantastic

R15RJJ on

United Kingdom

A great, very handy app, I look forward to using it this summer. It would be handy to add a guide to public slipways and the tidal Thames too. Top app though, keep up the good work.

Glorified Advert

iPhone fan3163 on

United Kingdom

Seems like a glorified advert for Val Wyatt !!! Interactive map is fun but not really useful in any serious application. A decent waterways guide is still far far better. Generally disappointing.

wont download

Too Can on

It won't download………...
