Description

FloodWatch allows users to monitor rivers and streams throughout the United States. Add USGS gages to your favorites for quick monitoring of current gauge height, precipitation, and flood stage. By leveraging data from the US Geological Survey and National Weather Service, FloodWatch presents the most recent and historical river heights, precipitation totals, discharge, and flood stage data. Graphs are available to help you visualize the rise and fall of the river, precipitation, and streamflow. Note that only US Geological Survey gauges with real-time data capabilities are surfaced within the application; not all United States gauges are available. FloodWatch is also geared towards those with interests in or near flood plains. If your home or other interests have been flooded in the past or could be flooded in the future, FloodWatch allows you to easily keep an eye on any potential flooding issues.

  • Good App Gone Bad

    This was an almost perfect app. It provided the data I needed for the several streams I needed to watch. The ads were obtrusive, but tolerable. It has lately become entirely unusable. It provides the data for the top site in my list, but if I try to select any other site, it launches a loud bright full-page animated ad that cannot be cancelled for ten or fifteen seconds. When it is cancelled, you go back to the data for the original site. In other words, the $9 ad-free ransom the developer is demanding is essential to view more than one site. Thanks but no thanks!

  • Paid for ad free twice.

    This app has been useful to me for a long time as I live in a flood zone. It doesn’t do much, and what it does do is not in real time, but it’s helpful. However, over the years the ads have gotten more and more intrusive. They take over the screen and it requires closing and reopening the app. I think developers deserve to get paid, either by users or advertising, but not both. I’ve given this dude $1.99 on at least two occasions to no effect. Mind you, there have never ever been any added features. He simply converts 3 data points from the USGS and makes it work on a mobile platform. I should ask for my money back. I’ve bought a real rain gauge and will check the creek height using a device with larger screen. I would have thought the app had been abandoned, but dev is selling more ads all the time and has updated enough to work on iOS 13.

  • Needs to update automatically

    Good app but would be nice to have the favorites list update automatically and send out notifications when reaching flood stage.

  • Ads are HORRID

    The ads this displays are getting worse. They play videos LOUDLY or take over the screen and FORCE you to a website to load the AppStore page, rendering the app useless. I can accept ads, especially for apps I only use a few days out of the year, but not ads like this. Deleted.

  • So sad

    Use to be great small advertisement bottom of screen, now full screen advertisement fir each point you are monitoring. Bye deleting app as soon as I save this review

  • Full page ads equal DELETE

    Information on this app easily accessible via free apps and web sources WITHOUT ads hence the lack of need to buying this app. I understand there is no thing like a free lunch, static ads at the bottom of screen is fine. Ads that impede navigation like full page ads only shows that the developer is greedy and doesn’t care about the user interaction.

  • Does not work now

    I really relied on this app to keep me updated on the flood stage because I live right on the creek. Hasn’t worked since September 11

  • Ads are overly obtrusive

    This was a useful app at one time but the full screen ads have become so annoying as to make this app more trouble than it is worth. I would pay to remove ads but $7.99? That is far too expensive for what it provides. There is a competing app that offers the same graphs of more station parameters and it is only $1.99 for the ad-free version. That’s more realistic.
