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. -- Mikofil, 2018-07-31 ### ***** "The River THAMES App" 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 -- Micskibrown, 2016-03-26 ### *---- "Please don't remove detailed views" Won't be taking the latest update that removes detailed zoom views. These are the most useful! Otherwise would rate 4-5. -- llllkkk, 2015-01-18 ### ***** "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. -- jeffe3552, 2014-07-08 ### ***** "Mr" Excellent app in all respects , very useful for planning purposes . -- Sbrettlane, 2014-06-12 ### ***** "Fantastic" 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. -- R15RJJ, 2014-03-03 ### *---- "Glorified Advert" 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. -- iPhone fan3163, 2013-08-13 ### *---- "wont download" It won't download………... -- Too Can, 2013-08-07 ### ***** "Really useful app" Great App, gives good information for using the river and for finding a boat -- Guy Girling, 2013-05-17 [View all River Thames Guide reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Apps Similar to River Thames Guide - [Canal Boat Magazine](https://apptail.io/app/canal-boat-magazine-Rqkc/united-kingdom) - [CHIRP](https://apptail.io/app/chirp-yjgd/united-kingdom) - [Polypipe Smart](https://apptail.io/app/polypipe-smart-lsNd/united-kingdom) - [Motor Boat & Yachting UK](https://apptail.io/app/motor-boat-yachting-uk-roLe/united-kingdom) - [Practical Boat Owner Magazine](https://apptail.io/app/practical-boat-owner-magazine-ohMe/united-kingdom) - [boatfolk](https://apptail.io/app/boatfolk-XlNe/united-kingdom) - [Yachting Monthly Magazine UK](https://apptail.io/app/yachting-monthly-magazine-uk-owPe/united-kingdom) - [The Game Fair 2023](https://apptail.io/app/the-game-fair-2023-kEdn/united-kingdom) - [Linwood Gold Rewards](https://apptail.io/app/linwood-gold-rewards-gwBo/united-kingdom) - [Experience Henley](https://apptail.io/app/experience-henley-BYjq/united-kingdom) ## River Thames Guide Available In - [United Kingdom](https://apptail.io/app/river-thames-guide-MQF/united-kingdom) - [Germany](https://apptail.io/app/river-thames-guide-MQF/germany) - [United States](https://apptail.io/app/river-thames-guide-MQF/united-states) - [Canada](https://apptail.io/app/river-thames-guide-MQF/canada) - [Belgium](https://apptail.io/app/river-thames-guide-MQF/belgium) - [Brazil](https://apptail.io/app/river-thames-guide-MQF/brazil) - [Belarus](https://apptail.io/app/river-thames-guide-MQF/belarus) - [Switzerland](https://apptail.io/app/river-thames-guide-MQF/switzerland) - [Chile](https://apptail.io/app/river-thames-guide-MQF/chile) - [China](https://apptail.io/app/river-thames-guide-MQF/china) - [Colombia](https://apptail.io/app/river-thames-guide-MQF/colombia) - [Czechia](https://apptail.io/app/river-thames-guide-MQF/czechia) - [Denmark](https://apptail.io/app/river-thames-guide-MQF/denmark) - [Dominican Republic](https://apptail.io/app/river-thames-guide-MQF/dominican-republic) - [Algeria](https://apptail.io/app/river-thames-guide-MQF/algeria) - [Ecuador](https://apptail.io/app/river-thames-guide-MQF/ecuador) - [Egypt](https://apptail.io/app/river-thames-guide-MQF/egypt) - [Spain](https://apptail.io/app/river-thames-guide-MQF/spain) - [Finland](https://apptail.io/app/river-thames-guide-MQF/finland) - [France](https://apptail.io/app/river-thames-guide-MQF/france) - [Ireland](https://apptail.io/app/river-thames-guide-MQF/ireland) - [Israel](https://apptail.io/app/river-thames-guide-MQF/israel) - [India](https://apptail.io/app/river-thames-guide-MQF/india) - [South Korea](https://apptail.io/app/river-thames-guide-MQF/south-korea) - [Kuwait](https://apptail.io/app/river-thames-guide-MQF/kuwait) - [Lebanon](https://apptail.io/app/river-thames-guide-MQF/lebanon) - [Malta](https://apptail.io/app/river-thames-guide-MQF/malta) - [Mexico](https://apptail.io/app/river-thames-guide-MQF/mexico) - [New Zealand](https://apptail.io/app/river-thames-guide-MQF/new-zealand) - [United Arab Emirates](https://apptail.io/app/river-thames-guide-MQF/united-arab-emirates) - [South Africa](https://apptail.io/app/river-thames-guide-MQF/south-africa) - [Argentina](https://apptail.io/app/river-thames-guide-MQF/argentina) - [Austria](https://apptail.io/app/river-thames-guide-MQF/austria) - [Australia](https://apptail.io/app/river-thames-guide-MQF/australia) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
