Description
Almost 400 magical places to swim in the wild in Britain. Containing all the content from the the best-selling travel book "Wild Swimming" by Daniel Start (Wild Things Publishing £16.99, second edition, 2013) this app provides all you need to visit hundreds of magical rivers, lakes and waterfalls across the UK.
In this great British tour you’ll be able to swim with otters in Devon, go river-tubing in Yorkshire, night-swim under the stars in Oxfordshire and learn how to build a woodland sauna. In each area you can ready background chapters on famous wild-swimmers of the past and read stories of heroes, lovers and ordinary folk who have long enjoyed bathing under the willows. Perfect whether you are a wild swimmer, family paddler or just enjoy a waterside picnic.
NOTE: due to the large number of images and places the app is slow to load first time and may not work well (or crash) if many other apps are open in parallel. Please close other apps.
You will find preloaded maps, photos, directions and travel writing to inspire and inform. Most locations comes with stunning photography and some include detailed mapping (at 1:25,000 to help walkers and 1:250,000 to help with route-planning). There is contact information for nearby pubs, campsites and attractions. If you need inspiration you can browse the app by slideshow, list, photo gallery and on an interactive map. Ask the app to find places close to you, or search using postcode, address, star rating, walk-in time, keywords or other features. You can share places on email and Facebook and save favourites too.

Faultless
I've found this app to be useful and reliable.

Current version does not work
Refuses to open and has crashed my phone on more than one occasion, update/bug fix needed...
2015-08-27

Currently cannot open the app
Please fix

No longer working.
Closes down as soon as you select it.
I've tried uninstalling it then reinstalling it but still not working!!
2015-08-06
Love the outdoors? This is brilliant.
Note: this free update for existing users worked for me. For those having problems (due to the way Apple handle app updates) then uninstall, restart your device and download and install fresh.
This is a brilliant update with hundreds more locations. A real winner.
I have both books in the Wild range for outdoor and coastal swims.
This App takes all that's in the Wild Swimming book and makes all the wonderful information, tips and photographs that's in it and adds more.
I love it.
If you like the outdoors, water and dipping in to rivers and lakes for serious swimming or just family days out then this App is the fresh dip you'll want on your IPhone or IPad.
2015-08-06
Yep, it's Fantastic
Many thanks bombardier... Works perfectly after uninstalling as per app upgrade description.
Just a pity this is missed during auto update...
Returned my review to 5*.

Crashes immediately
Crashes as soon as the App is loaded on the iPad. This version is a definite no no. Don't buy until they sort it and the reviews turn good.

2015-08-05

What happened
This was a good app until the last update. Now it won't open.
2013-07-08
Brilliant resource
Good selection, and great links to maps and directions. Really hope the authors can keep expanding the list for future updates.

Breathless
I haven't used it in anger yet but having flicked through the photo's and had a play i"m very excited about getting out there, what better way to plan a weekend away or holiday?
It's great how you can filter the results in so many ways making this a very "deep" app. An excellent way to enjoy this hard won wild swimming spot data and the GPS can guide you in!
Here's to a summer of watery loveliness.
2012-04-23
Great app - but why is it telling me to upgrade?!
There is a bug in this new update. I have purchased the full paid version of the app, but the app now includes messages "upgrade to the full app to get all content".
This is an annoying bug!
2012-04-06
Just what I needed.
This app is great. I have both the books and this saves me lugging them around in the car with me all the time. Hope they make an app for the Coast book too.
2012-03-31
Great stuff
Good to see an app at last! Got the books but this is brilliant with everything at hand and superb content. Sharing to FB and Twitter not working though?
2012-02-27
Great App, nice idea
I saw this app advertised in the Sunday Times, and had seen the book talked about before. It really does transfer nicely to the app-world, with great functionality between the location tool, search function and nicely written synopsis of each location. Well worth a look.
