User Reviews for Rivercast - Levels & Forecasts

Larry

Love this app, just wish it would show more history… I use this app for planning my salmon and steelhead fishing trips. No one can predict very accurately where river levels will be more than a few days to perhaps a week ahead. But seeing more history would be very handy as well… So I can go back and see where the river level was when we had a great day.

Waste Of Money

Paid for premium to see forecasting of river at my cabin knowing a flood was coming. Premium gave me no additional data!!! Pretty bad when another free app included the forecasting data as provided online by the Advanced Hydrolic Prediction Service. Complete waste of $5 for me and a reason why we should be allowed to try apps before buying.UPDATE: This app developer took two weeks to respond with a lame blanket statement that provided no help. Another River app developer contacted me in days and worked with me via email to identify the issue with the missing data.

Great investment

I’m very grateful to have this data at my disposal. I live near areas that can flood and i also have another property that could be at risk in major coastal storms. I like the way the data is presented (especially compared to trying to interpret the raw data if you go to USGS directly, and on a phone screen no less). USGS output is more technical in nature and designed to be read on a large monitor. If I had a wish list it might be nice to get notifications when approaching a flood condition - although only a small minority of flood gauges actually are forecasted by USGS, or even have calibrations for various flood stage levels. I also used to check this info for a buddy’s vacation home, but now he has the app. I’d like to add (a few years later - it’s May 2022) that many new features and options in settings have been added, plus it seems like there’s far more reporting stations then there used to be. So, as I said a few years ago, this app is a worthwhile investment, especially if you have property, boats, or loved ones to protect

Rivercast

This is a good app to watch the flood stage for our river property which is over an hour from where we live. What would make this app great is if there was a notification for when the water was near flood stage, maybe 5-8 feet below so we knew to keep a close eye on it. If we could opt to receive a text notification if this occurred it would be fantastic! Overall I am satisfied with the app.

Great App For Fisherman To Watch River Levels

This app is the real deal! I had an issue that was quickly resolved and I stand corrected and I do apologize for suggesting any ill thoughts about this app or its developers in a previous post. Cory (a developer) reached out to me and the issue was a glitch either on my end or theirs but nonetheless the issue was resolved efficiently and professionally. This is a great app and I would encourage anyone to subscribe for the premium content especially fishermen that need to know what the river is doing so they can plan their trip accordingly. Get this app. Great information and class acts running it!

No Wasted Time

We have property 2 hours away to hunt and fish. I used this app because it was accurate. The water has to be low for fishing success. If it rains heavily and water is running and it’s high- waste of time and gas. This app saved me time and money. It is accurate on the water levels. I need the water 2.0 and lower for great fishing, this app the best so far on accuracy. It has a place for on the levels page to mark the height of water. Before this app I would take my chances, now, I’ll get the rods ready and head up to the steam because of this apps “point on “water levels. What a great app for me. It has worked very well. Excellent.

River Level Locations and Water Level Forecast

Need more points for data some rivers have no locations and some locations have no data that showed data two years ago. It would be a handy app if it were updated with more locations to check local rivers that affect everyone in my area. There is over a 100 mile stretch of the Platte River which I live next to where there is not any data for the river stage. This is one of the bigger rivers in the area. Also the river forecast hardly ever shows any data or information. It just show no forecast at this time. Very disappointed that the locations that are supposed to show data are either not working or need updated. Would not recommend this app unless you are looking for data for a major river if so it could work well.

Like it but.....

I like the app and seems to work well. The only thing I’ve found that I don’t like is the way the graph works. I don’t like the fact you have to hold your finger on it to view past and future river levels. I end up messing up the graph with some pinch move and can’t tell what the level is then.

Great App to track/mark water levels

The rivers local to me have a narrow usable water level, just a few feet between too high / too low. With this app I can see and accurately plan when conditions are right. It’s easy to add your own colored lines/descriptions to mark water levels that worked well. Love this app.

Marine Construction Great APP

My company operates 15 tow/push boats, 3 barge staging fleets, and 7 marine crane barges for construction. Most of our construction projects on the river is driven by the stage of the river, so we have no choice but to monitor the river levels and forecast daily. This is a must have app if you’re in my line of work. Some of our projects can only be started or completed if the Mississippi River is at an 3 foot rage at the N.O. Gauge. We need to know what the river stage is doing daily in order to schedule some of our construction projects. This app is a great tool for work, fishing, hunting, and monitoring the water levels around our fishing camp. Gives me an idea of what’s going on around my fishing camp even when I’m not out there.

Rivercast™ puts the river level data you need at your fingertips with its intuitive and interactive maps and graphs. With Rivercast™ you get: • Official Flood Warnings & other alerts from the National Weather Service • River stage height in Feet • River flow rate in CFS (when available) • Indications that a river is at or approaching flood stage • Current observations and recent history • Custom Push Notification Alerts for when river reaches levels of concern to you • NOAA river forecasts (when available) • Map interface that shows where river gauges are located geographically • Search interface to find river gauges by waterway name, state, or NOAA 5 digit station ID • Interactive graphs that you can zoom in, zoom out, or pan • Customize your graphs by adding river levels that are relevant to you • Favorites list for locations you care about the most • Share your graphs via iMessage, Email, Facebook, or Twitter • Home Screen and Desktop Widgets to monitor your favorites • Lock Screen & StandBy Mode Widgets to monitor your favorites Rivercast's map not only shows you where the stations are, but color codes them when it can to give you an indication whether the location is at normal levels, approaching flood levels, or above flood stage. You can get the latest observations from the map, search, or favorites.

With an additional tap of your finger you can get a detailed interactive hydrograph. You can zoom in, zoom out, or pan with your fingers to find the exact information you need. If you "tap and hold" on the graph you can view the crosshair "bubble" text to assist you further. To customize your graphs for what's important to you, you can add your own level lines to mark things like sandbars, rocks, bridges, safe conditions, or whatever you would like. And you can add the streams or rivers that you would like to regularly monitor to your Favorites list for easy "at a glance" viewing. Rivercast™ uses the latest observation and forecast data available, and requires an Internet connection for use. Favorites, Map "Instant Observations", and Hydrograph data is viewable in feet or cfs (when available). All observation and forecast data is in your local time for your convenience. A handy tool for boaters, fishermen, property owners, paddlers, scientists, marine professionals, and the curious. River gauges reported are USA only. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Some Frequently Asked Questions: Where does Rivercast™ get its data? • This app uses NOAA and AHPS (Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service) for its raw data for our custom graphing and mapping solutions. There are some locations that are available via other government agencies (including USGS) that are not available via this app. Why does Rivercast™ sometimes show slightly different flow data (CFS) than USGS? • CFS is a calculated estimate derived from stage height. NOAA and USGS estimates may sometimes slightly vary due to using different data models. Variances are usually within a few percent, but can sometimes be larger. Stage height should always be identical between USGS and NOAA. Designated flood stages are based on stage height in feet in the USA. Why does Rivercast™ only show observations, but not forecasts, for my river? • NOAA issues forecasts for many, but not all, rivers it monitors. Sometimes forecasts are only issued seasonally, or during times of flooding or high water. My river gauge was there yesterday, but its gone today? • River gauges have a hard life. They occasionally have technical problems transmitting their data, or can even get washed out during extreme flooding. And some are seasonal. NOAA is usually pretty good about fixing them in a few days. For more information about Rivercast™, please visit our website at www.RivercastApp.com! We take our accuracy seriously!
