An Excellent source of information where to find water refilling and fountain.

I was so excited when I found this app. As a cyclist who enjoys exploring, it has the potential to be very useful. As far as I can tell, I can't filter out indoor sources, which makes the experience extremely annoying. Most useful for me would be the option to find the nearest fountain I can pull up to, with bike, for a fill up. Otherwise, too much noise. Make this happen, and I am yours.

No map or watering holes show up on Samsung Galaxy S5. Work in progress?

You need to zoom in too far to be able to find locations.

The idea is great but the store locations to get free water refill doesn't even know they're part of this app or just refuse to give service. Check the actual locations before putting them in the map. They should be public friendly and not minority hating people.

I think this is a wonderful idea that should be encouraged and expanded to include GTA. Please keep up the good work of informing and educating the public the benefits of tap water. Thanks a lot.

I love the concept but I really don't know why this app needs SEND SMS MESSAGES, RECEIVE SMS, READ CONTACT DATA or WRITE CONTACT DATA. It doesn't appear to send SMS or edit my address book or record videos, so there's no need to ask for those permissions. The app looks like it came straight from iOS, but the UI elements are very pixellated. The map view is laggy and not at all smooth. Also, pressing the back soft button at any point exits the app entirely. I think this was a hasty iOS port by a developer who doesn't have much Android experience. It's a great idea that deserves to be redone with a proper Android app.

Seems like a great idea. .. But where is the information?? No listings appear for Toronto anywhere. Needs to work at a lower zoom level as well.
