Hi Ben
love the new app but this morning everytime I try to log in it says login has failed. Incorrect username or password (which I know are correct) and also comes up with a message this IP address has been temporarily blocked??

Getting the same as 50young.

Despite that, really like the new app. Looks good.

Sorry fellas - we've been testing the App for the last year or so, and I've never seen this error before until this morning (it's happening to me too).

We've just given it a major promo boost (homepage ads etc) and I suspect it's overloaded the system! So that's bad, but in a good kinda way I suppose...

Just waiting for the developers to fix it up and we'll be back on track.

Lots of new features to roll out over the coming weeks and months too.

Actually, we did some independent testing last month and found that Swellnet App users caught 73% more set waves at their local break after viewing the App, and almost 87% more waves when visiting a new surf spot.

So yes, the App will definitely assist your surfing.

Have to say since downloading the app a few weeks ago, the waves have pretty much been pumping most days.

Hmm, it was fixed a short time ago. Developers are still working on it, we'll hopefully have a solution soon. Thanks for your patience.

App looks good. No issues logging in for me so far.

Any hints on the new features you'll be rolling out in the coming months?

I'm all good now. Appears to be working well for me.

Haven't had time to navigate around it too much as of yet but what I have seen seems to be fine.

Kinda like to keep our cards close to our chest, so to speak. So no clues yet :)

Nice app, log in works for me. Will there be a paid version? Those 5 second full screen ads are terrible! Quicker to view report from a Safari bookmark still

Frozen? Not sure exactly what you mean, but I recommend closing the app (i.e. double click the home button, the swipe the Swellnet App "up"). Then relaunch it again.

Thanks Ben, it was frozen on one screen with a message saying downloading forecast and wouldn't move. Deleted the app and reinstalled and all working now!

Good to hear and thanks for the feedback - always nice to know if there are problems, and whether they are rectifiable.

Hey guys with the tides on the app today ive got a low of 1.10m at 2.02pm
and on your website for the same area it has a low of .76m at 12.40pm
from my other sources im thinking that your websites the accurate one, but is there something i can change on the app settings to correct this or is it at your end,
cheers

If you don't download the app do you miss out on anything ?
What are the pros and cons ?
I haven't got the app but it seems to work fine as far as i can see
