What River Check Plus adds
Useful answers, not just more data
Each feature is designed to reduce the time spent moving between river, weather and alert pages.
Understand the current flow
Compare the latest reading with practical fishing ranges and see whether the river is rising, falling or steady.
Weather at the river location
See the forecast for the river itself, including rain, wind and temperature, rather than relying on conditions in the nearest town.
Build a river shortlist
Save the rivers and monitoring stations you check most, organise them into groups and return to a focused view.
Customise your flow thresholds
Set your own minimum, ideal and maximum fishing flows for rivers you know, instead of relying only on shared ranges.
Fresh Watch
Track the days since a significant detected rise and receive an in-app or email alert after the rise has peaked.
Scheduled river reports
Receive a concise email summary for your chosen rivers, with current flow and relevant weather together.
Simple boundary
What remains visible without River Check Plus
Source, timestamp, provisional status and safety information are never hidden. Locked tools show a clear preview but their data is not delivered until access is active.
