The free to download and use River Thames Guide app (the complete guide to leisure activity on the Thames and Way Navigation) has been released.
Users with an iPhone and/or iPad (and Apple silicon based Macs who have downloaded the compatible iPad version) will receive the update automatically.
Users on other platforms (Android, Windows, Linux, Intel-based Macs, Google etc) will see the updates when next opening the app.
New users can check for the right download link here.

Over 200 changes and improvements!
Whilst most are cosmetic and designed to make the app easier and more intuitive to use, there is a major overhaul of how river conditions and weather are shown:
  • See now and forecast weather for every lock and selected tidal locations (temperature, wind, precipitation, cloud cover, sunrise/set, and more)
  • For non-tidal list, lock selection buttons are coloured to match current (EA) conditions
  • The tidal list is preceded by the current (PLA) fluvial flag
  • AI generated weather warnings shown where appropriate
  • UV Index advice (if you need sunscreen) using AI algorithm to include influence of Sun reflecting of water
Other improvement include easier to use feedback mechanism (let me know about changes or wishes etc); more reliable option to find your current What3Words location; information in the app on installing and using the River Thames Guide Shortcuts and Widgets (such as current river conditions on your Home or Today screen for iPhone and iPad).

For more information on the changes to this version of River Thames Guide please see the What's New page (link on the app home page)
 
Thank you very much for all the effort you make Rascal Joe. It is much appreciated.

Early feedback from an Android user. My Conditions/Weather page has just got all grey buttons. When it works it will be wonderful to see the conditions along the whole river as an overview. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Thank you,
