A surf forecast that answers: “is it worth paddling out for me?”

I’ve been building an app called Quiver and trying to not be a boring surf forecasting app.

The idea is answering the question:

“Should I paddling out?”

It gives conditions a personalized score based on the forecast, your experience level, and eventually what you’ve logged from your own sessions, so the app can get better at knowing what kinds of days actually work for you.

I’d love any honest feedback on it:

- Does the forecasting feel useful?

- Does the “worth it ” idea make sense?

- Is the look and feel clear, or does anything feel confusing?

Mostly looking for feedback on whether the forecasting feels right and whether the app feels approachable for someone still learning.

Hi all,                                                                                                             

Steven here, solo dev. Need testers to clear the Play Store closed-testing 12/14 gate so I can ship Quiver: a surf forecast for Android that explains its reasoning per beach (model, calibration, why) instead of "good / fair /poor, learns from users sessions what forecasts they like and suggests beaches when the forecast lines up                         

  Step 1 — Join tester group:                                                                https://groups.google.com/g/quiver-android-testers

  Step 2 — Opt in on Google Play:

https://play.google.com/apps/testing/app.quiversurf.surf

Once you've joined the group and opted in, install and open it, save a home beach, create a session and keep the app active for 14 days. That's all I need.

 Happy to return the favor, drop your group link and opt-in link below and I'll get on your app today. Will stay committed for the full 14 days, screenshot proof on request.                                                                                                                    

  Thanks everyone, let's get each other to production.
