"Purchased premium yesterday. Worked fine from home on both laptop and phone. Today drove to Huntington Beach and app just repeatedly says ``something went wrong try refreshing page`` I click green refresh button, same error. Using 5G Android phone and other apps opening and working fine, so doubt issue is internet related. Not good start when first day I want to use it, app fails."

"Used to be more accurate. SL recently changed to changing reports and forecasts based on the AI algorithms. Local knowledge has become more important than ever. In fact, local reports are now way more accurate. Magic Seaweed has become more usable."

"Trash, paywalled. Don`t bother downloading. Surfline aggregates data from publicly available data. Their profit margin is huge, as they only have to stream cams and condense the data, not actually deploy bouys or even maintain them."

"It used to be a very helpful app. Now it`s essentially useless without a premium subscription which is insanely expensive for what you get."

"I have a premium account and It works great, however the app doesn`t support sessions with an Android phone. I would give the app a 5 star if it did. Can you please look at updating the Android app to allow sessions view?"

"Can`t even check my local spot anymore without a subscription. Just show me ads for Christ sake. Got too greedy. Uninstalled."

"Used this app for a long time as a free user. A limited number of spot checks would reset each week. Now they`ve removed the ability to see most videos with your checks. And the ones you can watch are now bombarded by ads. I`ll be moving on to the alternative apps now. Thanks for the good times while they lasted."

"Good to see nothing has changed since taking over coastalwatch. Cams down and take ages to fix things, you can tell by the rating what people think of this app, no way would I bother paying for premium."

"The whole app is just a big disgrace. The surf forecasts are terribly wrong and very missleading. I went to a surf break that was supposed to be ``good, 4-6ft`` and there wasn`t a single wave breaking. The amount of surf cams is very limited and that`s the only half useful tool in the app but now they also made it so that some cams are ``premium cams`` so you can`t even see them without paying. Overall just a useless app, since there are much more accurate ones out there."

"Pretty good - there are no others... just wish some of cameras were closer to ocean to get better idea of what wave faces look like"

"Latest update now removed the wave feet for the next couple of days, now you can only see it for one day. I only used because of diving but I ain`t planning to pay $13 a month neither $99 yearly just for that."

"Advertisers on Surfline are paying a fee to advertise on sureline. Why has Surfline decided to limit my viewing even after watching the advertisement? Looks like Greed has overcome Surfline. I`ll delete instead. Came back 9/22 to see if SL has gone back to the old better days .... nope. After reading all the negative SL reviews you would think change is in line."

"Have a paid account. Too many glitches visually, links not working, giant images in some parts of screen and not others in some areas. Even the reset password process glitches constantly. Very painful to use. Surf reports not that accurate either."
