Onthesnow Ski Snow Report App Reviews

Great idea. And parts of app. Are to hard to load, hopefully update coming soon to help with iOS. Wish it would work better

This app used to work well but towards the end of last season and all this season the weather report for AZ Snowbowl shows 0” when it’s actively snowing or when they have 10” forecasted for tomorrow.

I don’t think this app is as easy to use as it should be. It is not as self explanatory as it should be in my opinion! Dan

I’d like the app to add resorts zip codes and wind conditions. Everything else is good.

I don’t see any good info on my local mountains. No road reports. Outdated photos. Parts of the app never load.

The new snow alerts are hours behind the actually resorts which makes this app useless. Additionally, there is an inbox where they just send you spam messages.

This used to be my favorite app for snow reports. I noticed last season that I wasn't getting “powder alerts” when I knew that it snowed in my area. So i started looking at the weather all around the west and noticed that the app wasn’t accurate anywhere. The app hasn’t accurately reported new snow in over a year. Dont know what the deal is but its time to find a new app for snow reports!

You are not able to scroll up or Down. Previous version was much more reliable. Deleting off my phone it is worthless..

Buggy and freezes on my iPhone 6S. It has a nice interface just wish this was a smoother app.

Decent but user should be able to see a resorts status in one screen...snowfall, base, current conditions, weather forecast. And i had major problems just getting it to scroll down properly to see more content

It is a nice usable app. It's nice to see the trail maps of places we are going before getting there. Also like the real live comment of people that are there to compare to resorts post.

The UI stops responding randomly when looking at resort details. You have to go back to your list and into the resort again, but you can’t scroll down because it freezes.

See title

Ok, I like simple, clean easy to use apps that don't frustrate the heck out of you when you try to add favorites. This app does not make a simple process easy. It ask where you ski, yet it doesn't tailor the resorts when you choose where it has snowed to you selected areas of the region or country. There has to be a better choice than this

This app would actually be very great if I could scroll through the comments people leave on the resorts. Everytime I scroll down I try to scroll back up and whenever I touch the screen it opens one of the comments. So everytime I want to look at a new resort I have to close the app. Same with the pull out menu on the side.

Good data and easy interface but V 6.3.1 of app freezes every time I select a resort to view data.

The second you stop scrolling through the posts it freezes! You have to exit posts and re-enter if this happens. Good app, but if you are wanting to read posts to get current on hill/ mountain information- DEFINITELY go elsewhere.

One of the best apps for ski and snowboard

This app has served me well in the past, getting first hand accounts of conditions around the world. But the versions of the past few updates has been buggy. When scrolling through a resorts page it’ll freeze and crash. Restarting will reset the app. Not usable in current state

Latest version and I can't search for any particular resort so I can see its recent snowfall, weather, etc.

Freezes up when scrolling.

Updated to the most recent version and now it can't find any resorts. I put in "Colorado," "no results found." In Colorado! Searching nearby from Denver (200 mile radius) returned nothing. Fix this.

I hate the ads, especially the mandatory full screen video every time you open the app. I would much rather have a paid version offered. I also don't like that it reports "upper elevation" instead of base, as upper is not a very useful measurement. This is especially true for resorts at lower elevations where the bottom half of the mountain is above melting temperature. Otherwise, it's a fairly useful app to get a broad view of snow conditions across many resorts.

This app is brutally buggy. Nothing updates correctly, it's choppy, it crashes. Nothing ever seems to operate correctly. Really frustrating as this is the only app that I can find info in one spot.

Can't add new places to my list. Search feature doesn't work. The app is useless w/o it.

Freezes so often I have stopped using it and just go to the website. If I scroll down the page just stops and all I can do is back out to My Resorts page.

Don’t claim to be a world wide leader when you don’t have a lot of resorts around the world. Nothing in Japan.

Full page ad when you open the app is pretty annoying when you already have ads, it's made me look for an alternative app now. Overall functionality is nice, it works well with little signal. Posts show up fairly slow now, used to be immediate but now it takes hours. Old review: You can't reorganize trail maps or delete them anymore. It's quick and works well with little signal. Keeps me up to date so I can visit any resort I want to keep my eye on. First hand reports are usually helpful. Snow alerts aren't the most timely thing but I can't blame them for mountains reporting amounts later than opening. I highly suggest giving it a try, you won't regret it.

I have used this app for a few years but now I can't add new resorts to my list. The search feature is broken. Now this app is useless... about to delete it.

Easy interface. Good having commenting. Would be a nice improvement if more information could be shown on list view.

This is my all purpose ski app. I like the weather portion which has base and Summit temps which helps day trip planning. It's a good all purpose app, but it could be easier to add favorite areas and takes a while to update new snow. First hand reports are a good reference.

Quickly update to ios11!!!

Fine for what it is: basic resort data, maps and general snow reports. Good resource for initial trip planning.

When I search, no resorts found immediately pops up with the first letter entered and the app never even tries to actually search. Can't add resorts, will delete app

The app spends most of its time locked up trying to load ads on iOS 11. Completely lame.

Great app

First, most apps have ads so let’s get over that. I actually don’t see that many to be honest. Anyway. This app allows you to pick the resorts you want to monitor snowfall, powder/conditions, lifts and trails open, peoples reviews of the day, pictures, alerts you when one of your resorts gets fresh snow....I really like it. It also has trail maps that you can actually see when you zoom in, location maps, you can be emailed about price deals, vacation packages, etc. Also the resorts are worldwide. Not just specific to the U.S. I’m a big skier and I love it.

I know for a fact that there has been snow on these mountains. The app isn’t updating to the weather anymore. It’s like they forgot this app existed and they don’t update the snow. Shame... it used to be my go to app for snow reports.

I think they gave up. I can’t add resorts and the entire menu doesn’t work, at least on iPhone X

What was once *the* place to find first hand reports of conditions and mountains is now riddled with iOS bugs and errors. Example: Cannot post ski report if you include an image (error out). UI bugs in search box. And general crashing and instability. Cmon guys there’s updates but still no resolution to long-standing app issues?

In previous years this app was great, now it’s weather forecasting is not accurate at all and it’s not worth it anymore. Deleting and moving on to an app that maintains features

Still can’t find or add resorts. Is it me or is this no longer a working app? It used to be a great app. The ads are annoying when they flash and scroll and I wonder why an advert would pay for that if the app is no longer working.

Love the interface - info for each resort is presented in a clean, easy to understand way. Helpful additional firsthand reports/comments from users on snow conditions, etc.

App info is always out of date and inaccurate.

Still have time before the season is in full swing Difficult to add additional favorites Snow totals not accurate or current

I have used this app for years and am sad to see that they just don’t care about this app anymore, apparently. There have been very few improvements and things that used to work no longer do. For example, you used to be able to sort your resorts that you watched and that went away a couple years ago. Now, when you click on a resort and try to scroll down to see people comments, it locks up after a few seconds, so you are forced to back out to your resort list. Pretty sad. I’ll be looking for another app to use.

Sorting of favorite ski areas should also be allowed by states as on the main website, as well as in whatever order a user wishes to arbitrarily sort them. This would allow grouping by true favorite as well as state.

When is it expected to snow? All I really care. Lifts and lines are great but snow powder is what I would love added. 2 stars. Deleting the app and finding another snow report app.

I've tried over and over to leave ski reports and photos from the day for Lookout Pass and other resorts. It simply doesn't work. I also loved the layout and color of the text in the older version when it was our. I find the green color harder to read. Can the posting of photos and reports be fixed? It would be very helpful to others out there.

Is it just me or does the app lock up when you try to read a post? Have to restart the app each time on my iPhone 6.

I used to use this app frequently but then took a hiatus from snow sports. Happy that it’s still going strong. Only reason I gave it 4/5 stars is because it doesn’t seem as though it’s been updated for the iPhone X screen resolution. Fix that and I’ll give it 5 stars.

Echoing reviews recently posted regarding scrolling problems & inability to add or change “favorite” resorts. Used to work fine on my 6s - not anymore.

Not even usable. Crashes every time I add a mountain.

Worthless with the light grey small font and you are outside. Old version better for actual use. I mean we are trying to look at this info on a phone not a big computer screen.

Now that I am starting to use it in December 2017 the comments screen freezes. Cannot post pictures like I used to last year. No technical support available or ability to communicate to the app via an email question I will delete and reinstall and perhaps that will fix it

App functionality is awful. Scrolling doesn’t work, all sorts of ads and hold ups. Bad.

Most of the information you need in one place. Update quickly. Add skin be annoying but the app is free.

Concept good, but random malfunctions and basically useless

App freezes constantly. Trying a new snow report app maybe have better luck.

Downloaded this app in hopes it would come in handy to plan our ski trips. Is supposed to have the functionality to view multiple resorts’ snow reports but unfortunately it never updates or has current data. Will be deleting it.

Long time user of the app, but snowfall totals have not been updating. For example, Alta has been getting dumped on, but the app does not show any snow for the past week.

Not only do the snow totals not match the totals on the individual mountains’ websites, they don’t even match the totals right on the same screen! For example, on March 8 the total for the “Recent Snowfall - 24 hour” will say 8” while the “Last Snowfall” will say March 3. Snow reports are WAY behind and sometimes don’t update at all. A week later it’ll finally show that, yes, it DID snow 20” last Tuesday.

Now the main page won’t scroll to user reports. Only shows part of the top one. Please fix. Thanks

Used to be my favorite app for checking snow conditions across the country. Now the app is barely functional with my new iPhone X. It has become impossible to add new mountains to my favorites or even to look up the snow on a mountain that I didn’t “favorite” prior to getting a new phone. Extremely disappointing.

No info even though it has been snowing what gives.

Cant add any new resorts im interested in. This has always been an issue. Unless u have the exact name with punctuation or hyphen cant even get a list by state or country. Use to be easier now nothing. The whole menu doesnt even work. *knock knock!! Is this thing still on? Anyone home?

Doesn’t work with iOS 11.2. Won’t accept any input. Can’t find resorts. Don’t bother.

The one thing that I really was hoping this app would do is offer snowfall estimates for each resort. So that when I want to plan a ski day I can look ahead and see when it is estimated to snow and how much. I can get that roughly by opening up the Weather app and searching for each individual resort one by one and seeing what the weather forecast is. But the weather tab in On The Snow always seems to show 0" no matter what. So there is no point in showing snow totals in the forecast if it's always zero. Even when it's currently snowing!

This app now functions like it always did. Good fix and nice job as my go to snow report app.

I have skied mountains on two different continents the past two weeks and the feature that allows users to post photos and their comments about the snow conditions for the day isn’t working. That’s an important feature that should be fixed. Thank you.

Worst app ever. Freezes can’t see reports don’t bother. Embarrassing terrible, etc.

I can no longer look up or save any new favorites resorts. Data seems suspect (how does Park City get 9” new snow and Alta gets 0”?) Also when looking at a list they put the resorts on white with a light grey background making it difficult to tell if you are supposed to read the numbers above or below the resort name. I see lots of bad reviews. If you are not going to maintain it, then shut it down or better yet sell it to someone who will.

I used the app until December and worked fine. I added different ski resort and get news and data. But now, when you click in the left menu the app freezes. No way to unlock. Just possible to restart but I can’t anymore customize the list. Maybe is caused by the iPhone updates but please check.

Are use this app all last year and the year before, but when I got the new, I can’t add any resorts whatsoever. The app doesn’t work at all.

The cam feature is terrible. The snaps from past time frames never load.

This is a very poor snow report app, as it’s rarely updated and we’ve found it to be extremely inaccurate. I’m erasing and downloading another app that is informative and worth it. Just passing along my experience for those who are actually seeking sound snow reports. Maybe the developer can work to fix it?

Now it’s useless. Nearby location map produces zero results. Even tried searching for Whitefish. Terrible. Just useless. Finds nothing. Very buggy, cannot get back to main menu without closing app.

Go on the snow go My go to site in ski season

I cannot.post updates anymore. Keep getting error message "server sent invalid data or connection failed try later (null)

Can no longer find or add new resorts. Says none found after entering on letter.

Great app. Nice and simple.

App does not work. Search resorts comes up as “no resorts found” for just about any mountain which renders the app useless.

Upside: most of the websites data and functionality, if a bit buggy Downside: not very stable, especially when you slide it out to access things beyond the home page

Its not user friendly at all. Waay too many features. All we need is the snow reports and forecasts. And its too hard to even find that. Is tbe forecast even there anymore? Im trying to add mountains and its not clear how to do that and the info isnt even updated. Says last snow breck got was over xmas and its jan 11th..... old app was fine. Deleting this one

Was great for years, has become buggy, unstable, and unusable

FAQ clearly indicates there is a search function to find the resorts I want but there isn’t... I’m only able to add resorts if they show up in the powder alert section or by dumb luck if they are within a 300 mile radius area with the nearby function. Deleting. Useless.

Daily snow totals for saved resorts on the app staying at 0” when the resorts are obviously recording inches of snow.

Informative and useful.

I ski Vermont and New York mountains and the app has no mountains in Vermont

The app works well for viewing information about resorts. The downside is that it always gives an error when trying to post a review or feedback about a resort. I’ll continue to use it, but only because it has quick access to trail maps.

They used to update posts regularly but sometimes now they lag by days or even weeks, then the information is useless. I recently went skiing in the Catskills and attempted to post a review. Multiple times I got a “Server not Responding” message. They seem to be letting the App die by neglect.

I can no longer use the app. The menu at the top left corner opens up into a frozen screen where you can’t select anything.
