## WaterNav Description
WaterNav is unique in that it has been developed so that you can access all date even without an active internet connection. (It works offline once the maps are downloaded)

It monitors you location using the phones inbuilt GPS, giving your precise location on the map. The maps display thousands of continually updated points of interest (such as pubs, shops, vets, diesel, moorings, etc), as well as all the waterway information such as locks, bridges, turning points, etc, and canal closures. It is the essential towpath companions for boaters, ramblers, cyclists, or anyone else enjoying the waterways.



The route planning options and enhanced options are available once you create an account (no charges or obligations) and with options of picking location, searching for a location or using your own current position it provides lots of flexibility. You can also chose journey times, lock delays and speed.

River Canal Rescue members will automatically be granted access to a special RCR interface that will offer exclusive features. RCR members will be able to access their membership details, see their RCR history, log callouts, book services, and request additional works. They will also be able to utilise a new arrival aid system which will allow them to track their engineer in real time.



The WaterNav App is in ongoing development (our inhouse developers will respond to all requests or issues - just remember it can take time to get issues updated). There are new updates and development of new features and we are resolving issues continually. ( so make sure you regularly update, and let us know if we can make things easier for you)

## WaterNav Reviews in United Kingdom

### *---- "Poor and out of date"
I have seen this app advertised at several shows so I thought I’d give it a go. 

I can’t even create an account because the app can’t accept that my name and hence my email address contains a hyphen.

I used have this problem with banks in the 90’s but not now.

I’d love to try and use this app but you (the developer) has to accept that some names contain hyphens!
-- Flynn-Ryan, 2024-08-25

### *---- "Horrendous UX"
As a user experience designer I find myself so frustrated on so many journeys inside this app. The most frustrating is the ‘forgotten password’ workflow. You enter your email and there’s no button to submit it so it’s an impossible task to complete, leaving me permanently unable to use this as a logged in user. The select region button doesn’t work, the login pages don’t scroll, so when a keyboard overlays the UI it’s impossible to input data below the visible fields. I could go on, or if you have any UX jobs going I’d happily help you to solve these for you.
-- colourbland, 2024-07-21

### ***-- "Crashes every time"
Great app when it works but soon as you try to make an account the app crashes ever time.
Ive reached out to the devs but no email back.
Gutted to be honest.
-- ashfu, 2024-07-13

### **--- "Less useful now"
'Major rewrite' is much less usable. Cannot focus on things that matter, its ugly, slow to load, paints slow. For example i want to turn off places on interest and only focus on canal stuff - water points, locks, services- but it never saves that preference. RCR part works well thus two stars. Map is zero stars
-- EtherealMind, 2024-06-22

### ***** "Great app but…."
This is a great app but still needs much work. Some of the times and distances for journeys are way way out.
-- IanAlexander61, 2024-06-11

### ***-- "Good keep at it but crashes"
Cannot login to RCR on iPad. Crashes back to Home Screen. 
Keep working on the search screen make results more eeditable and no need to tell it to search or cancel twice. 
Apart from that, good stuff keep it going.
-- captain K007, 2024-05-31

### *---- "Something very wrong with this app…"
The app appears to work ‘ok’ until you sign-in… the it crashes on next load…
This app really needs to be thoroughly tested before each release.
I will now reinstall it and use it minus the sign-in features.
-- InventiveSole, 2024-03-01

### **--- "Good, when it works"
Gives great info re journey planning, but often freezes on home screen of app and won’t load; this bugginess makes it a very frustrating choice compared to others available.
-- Jhmjhm1, 2024-02-29

### *---- "Useless"
Crashed within 5 minutes of creating account.  Can’t get it to work in spite of reinstalling it a few times.
-- Scott Millow, 2023-10-25

### *---- "Rubbish"
Map and info is poor to fair.
Calculate route red button and the app just crashes every time !!!
iPhone 12 iOS 16.6
