The app is a really good idea, but after the update I can't view any beaches as it crashes instantly

Love this app, has fantastic information. But the only feature lacking is that you can't view beaches that are a bit further away from your current location, which is a real shame as we like to travel and discover new places. It's very hard when you don't know the beach name and therefore cannot research and plan properly beforehand. We would really love if you could fix this please - with that the app is a sure keeper! Cheers

As a surfer/beachie i use this all the time and think its one of the best apps available. I highly recommend this app and it should be a must have for all beach goers and tourists wishing to visit our Australian beaches. Iphone version used to have water temperature on the weather conditions please put this feature back on or add it for the samsung/andriod phones..please. Thank you for a great app.

Got everything you need to understand the beach the your visiting, including warnings and tidal information etc. Couple of things that would make it that bit better: 1. Include EPA water quality 2. Show patrols when patrols are on for non preset patrol days e.g. bank holidays. As saying unpatrolled on Australia day caused confusion. 3. and a personal one .. Change your icon on the app to the one on the store (the flat ui version)

However lots of work is needed. For instamce: text taken from books needs figure references removed or hyperlinked etc, test data is in the live database, text references to beaches that aren't searchable in the database, lower case letters at the end of beach names instead of North, East etc. Favourite beachs should be the default,needs user controlled defaults throughout. Update: keeps losing saved beaches, defaulting location to 15000km from actual! Searching 'Wanda' returns only 'Menindee'...
