## Swim Guide Reviews in United States

### *---- "Please update for newer phones"
The back button is not functional on iPhone 15
-- Farquad18, 2024-09-06

### *---- "Not updated for modern phones"
The app is long overdue for an update to fix obstructed header info and unresponsive navigation buttons at the top of the screen.
-- freediverx01, 2024-07-21

### *---- "Saw on the news - believed the lies"
Gloria Reuben - president of the company behind this app - went on the news and raves about this app. Downloaded it and every single beach’s status is unavailable and in the gray, yet they claim to check the water quality weekly. So just not reporting the findings? Lol
-- AKK_47, 2024-06-30

### **--- "Not working on iPhone"
The header is hidden behind the phone menu and can’t be accessed
-- patrikgarde, 2023-07-17

### **--- "Doesn’t work well in 14 pro"
The buttons in the upper corners don’t touch well in this model phone
-- MartyMcFlei, 2023-06-03

### ****- "Great app could be even better"
I love the concept of this app, the only feature that I would love to be added is marking off whether or not a swimming spot is open to the public or in a private community. We spent our Sunday driving to several swimming spots only to discover we could not swim there because they were not open to the public, it was a big bummer.
-- Mandamu27, 2020-07-13

### *---- "Doesn’t monitor Rhode Island beaches"
Living in New England, RI is an important area for beaches. However this app does NOT monitor RI beaches, making it useless for me and anyone living in New England.
-- Nariosan, 2019-08-26

### *---- "Not satisfied ☹️☹️☹️"
First of this is absolutely for sure pure and utter trash. I payed good money for this and it’s terrible. There’s apparently no beaches in Asia , Europe, Africa, or South America according to this app.
-- unhappycostumer:(:(, 2018-07-15

### ***** "Love it!"
I use this app a lot when I venture out into new places. It lists all the beaches in the area and you get the water quality. Highly recommend this app!!!
-- Ktc8592, 2017-04-29

### ***** "Excellent"
Used this all summer. Great app.
