River guage app

[rumrunner]

Anybody have recommendations for river guage apps?  Android if it matters. I lost mine. Thanks!

I use Riverflows.net  

Takes a bit to set up your opening page, but once you have all your crap entered to come up the way you want it's really handy.   Makes it quick to check, and in 6 years it has never crashed on me.

I use the free version riverapp.   2 day gauge and cfs.  Not sure if it’s available for droids.  
 

While you’re at it get MyRadar.   Just plain straight forward radar.

Thank both! I think river app is what I had. It didn't crash but the phone did on concrete.

Oops meant riverflows

  It's not an app but here's an SMS text app that you can get generation info from. Sometimes helpful if you don't have cell service and you don't have to install an app.   This is an app I wrote as a utility for anglers, so there's no monkey business going on, your number won't start gettin spammed. 

You can get Core of Engineer and USGS current and scheduled (core only) generation/cfs 

 Here's the number

 913.270.0360

 here are a few the text commands for Scheduled Generation, all core tailwaters are supported.... 

       s table     Will get scheduled generation for Table Rock 

       s bull       Bullshoals 

       s littlered   Little Red

For a specific day...

      s table thu   Thursday's schedule

      s       Just text  s and you will get a list of all the sites,, all the core and many other USGS are available  

Current Generation  commands. 

     g  table     Current TableRock (i.e. taney). 

     g bennetsprings 

    g nianguamackscreek

Just text "g" no quotes will give you a link to a list of many river gauges in MO, AR , KS, and CO.

The USGS website has a mobile friendly map that has gauge info that works on any phone.

USGS Mobile Water Data

I don't know if it's available for Android but I use RiverData. It's just pulling the info from USGS but makes it simple.

Why go to the apps when you can just use the USGS river gages that all their info comes from?  None of the apps I've seen give you all the info the river gages themselves do.  I keep the streamflow table for Missouri and Montana bookmarked on my phone...as long as I have cell phone service I can get to it with one click off my opening page of Safari on my Iphone.  One more click from there gets me any of the gage pages.  And I don't use the mobile friendly USGS pages, just the same page you call up on your laptop.

Streamflow table for Missouri, lists every gage:

https://waterdata.usgs.gov/mo/nwis/current/?type=flow

Often this is the only page I need to go to, because the two far right columns on the table show the current flow in cfs, and the median flow, and all I have to do is compare current flow to median flow to see whether the stream is somewhere near normal, or low, or high.  If it's something like three or four times higher than the median, it's getting too high to fish well.

But if I need more info, I just click on the relevant gage.

Because it’s quick and easy. All I need most of the time is the CFS. 3 small taps of the screen and I have what I need. Open the app. Click on favorites. Choose the gauge from my custom list. Quit making things so difficult.
