Pros and cons of Swim Radar app for iPhone and iPad

Swim Radar app good for

So far this app has impressed in the ease of use, number of pools found in the GTA( yip Canada has pools) and the details for each
Finding pools in major American cities is easy. Now, if you happened to be on the trip to a rural Italian town - good luck keeping up with your training. This app solves this issue. A true international coverage. Indoor or outdoor, the pool length, contact details, you name it. I just hope the developer will continue to update it.

Some bad moments

If you like an app that doesnt do anything you can buy this app. Crash twice in 5 min and the only screen that Im able to see is "connection Failed…" Waste of money guarantee. This app needs an update fast. No pool in Canada … (or anywhere)
As an avid swimmer who travels a lot (for work reasons), its really very useful to know where I can find a pool to practice in. Rather than having to check local phone books or asking random strangers, this is an awesome app to have.
I travel weekly for work and finding a pool is always a pain. Just got the App and found a pool that was 5 mins from my normal hotel and I didnt even know it!! Ive been driving 30mins to a pool so I could keep up my training. Bless you Swim Radar!!! Highly recommended!
This ap pays for itself in time and frustration in trying to find a place to swim. I also travel for work and its so great to know I can find a quality place to swim in seconds.
This is a great app, not only providing locations of swimming pools but also helpful details such as whether the pools are indoor/outdoor, the exact length (including yards vs. meters) and exact proximity. I just searched for pools in Washington DC though and nothing came up. I know that there are some swimming pools in DC, so this city must just not be in the apps radar. If DC is added, I wouldnt hesitate to rate this as 5 stars.
I thought this would only work in the U.S., but arrived in Barcelona, Spain and wanted to find a pool to do some laps. It quickly found 5 pools within 3 miles of my hotel, and worked perfectly. Looking forward to my next trip.
