Snow Forecastcom App Reviews

First, let me start by saying I love the layout, ease of use and format of this app. For those reasons I may actually keep using it. So instead of giving it the worst rating I will bump it up to two stars for those reasons. But... The snow forecast is actually terrible. So far this year (and last) it has been so far off that it isn't even marginally reliable. Now, I could forgive this app if it was forecasting the same thing as NOAA and other apps, but they have gone rogue. They typically forecast days where we will receive 6-12 inches of snow. NOAA and others will say 1-2 inches. The others are always right and this has yet to be accurate. Please get the forecast in line with others because what you are using clearly isn't even close. FWIW, I live on the Wasatch back.

Recently went on a ski road trip. I found this App inaccurate. It didn't match current snow conditions! Ski resort websites were accurate though. What a waste of money!!!

Very good!

I paid $24.99 and this terrible app still has all of the content locked. I’ve emailed and contacted the developer multiple times and they will not respond. WHAT A SCAM!!

App barely lets me log in to my account. When I am logged in, app crashes when I try and access my favorites. Please fix! Email alerts are great but would love an app instead of accessing your webpage (which isn't that easy to navigate either).

It seams fine! It could have more functionality from the website and integrate the member 9 day forecast too, but those are not deal killers. It really needs iPhone 5 support.

Too bad - this could be nice. But first you have to pay to download the app and than you need to pay to get full usage of the features. Don't spend the money. There are better free sites to get information about you favorite ski resort.

crushed 3 times when i was trying to log in

I paid the full suscription for a year and still shows the premium options locked and grayed. I killed the application a thousand times, I’ve also unistalled it and reinstalled it and nothing. Still waiting for an answer from the support guys to fix it or get my money back

The latest update completely trashed what was otherwise a decent app. It now requires email registration, includes ads, deletes any resorts you previously had "favorited", added completely useless features like the ability to take pictures within the app, has a extremely confusing UI, and most importantly, the forecasts themselves often fail to load! The best "update" they could make would be to revert to the prior version.

I like this app., and find it to be pretty accurate. I also live in the Northwest, and after a week trip, that included 3 resorts, I am pleased with the forecasting.

This is only marginally better than the website on mobile, and full of advertising even though I am a paying member :(. The forecasts also are unreliable, at least for Europe. I will be looking elsewhere.

You have to register and login to get details. They don't provide a link or option to create an account from the ap and I don't think it's cool to have to login in the first place. Bummed and switching to another ap.

The layout and integration to the main site is very lacking. The site itself is over busy and extremely cumbersome in design and layout. Additionally, considering the premium price for subscription-the site is over populated with adds. Lastly, it would be great if the custom email alerts you can setup - came through in Imperial measurements instead of metric. You can select to have the website as either, but Ive yet to get an answer or discover how to easily do it with the email alerts.

Hello. I buy over one year ago this app especially for European snow maps. They Stole snow maps once version 2.0 is out. Give me the maps back or refound!!!

All the ski areas in my favorites have all been inaccurate. Namely the Pacific Northwest, USA. The writing is too small and cluttered to be read without a magnifying glass. It would be nice if they made the snow photos smaller or delete them all together so that they would have more room for larger text and a less cluttered looked to the information. I like the overall idea and the data they are trying to show us but it still needs some work.

I love the website for Snow Forecast, but the app is lacking much. It's slow, not very accurate, graphics are grainy and app is too cluttered. I wouldn't reccommend the app to anyone, it's free to use their website, but you have to pay to use the app that has less information, is harder to navigate and is poorly built. I am not being biased, but if you're looking for a good snow report app, look to Ski Report. It's been a great app with live cams and people that are reporting current conditions. This app may be better in the future, but isn't worth the money by far right now.

Retina Display not ready. Update snow data for La Hoya, Argentina!!!!!!

The data is completely inaccurate and old. I wasted my money.

Crashes on app startup

The Facebook login option crashes the app when attempting to log in. Tried reinstalling, rebooting apps and phone, etc. to no avail. Have to resort to using the web interface to use my subscription since i signed up via Facebook. Will update review once this has been addressed.

Back to being a great app

I have 4 different snow forecast apps on my phone, but this is the only one that accurately forecasts SkiBowl on Mt. Hood. PacNW weather is tricky, and the snow/rain line often cuts across the middle of SkiBowl runs. This app nails it with the base / mid / top forecasts. Every time the other apps say all snow or all rain, this app gets it right. Most apps depend on reports, this one seems to be based on forecasts and freezing / snow levels.

Ever since the app was updated on 2/4/18, it no longer works on my iPhone 6s, Version 10.3.3. I tap the icon, it starts to load but then crashes back to my main screen when it finishes booting. I like the app (though I liked the older layout more). Can you please fix it?

Unfortunately it's absolutely unusable application.

My goto app for ski conditions at almost any resort, even “Hickory Hill”, NY. Considering it’s done remotely from England, I believe, it’s pretty amazing. Complicated? Maybe, but so is mountain weather. Maps are predictive days out, allowing amateur weather forecasting. For @ 20$ for 6 months, a bargain. AP

If you want to quickly see weather for the different elevations of ski areas this is the fastest and easiest app I have found.

I have tried 8 different apps and this is the most accurate app for Utah.

I have been using this app for several years now. Had few glitches with the previous version but this shouldn’t change the fact that it is still the most reliable source for snow forecast. Keep it up!

It is a toss up if one should use Safari or this app on the iPad mini. The site gives great reports, giving expected snow amounts instead of maximum possible that NOAA gives. It uses NOAA data to do their forecast and so it is about 10 hours behind. It also gives top,mid,bottom which can be hard to get at NOAA clicking on their map. It gives longer forecasts and more 2 day detail (if things go as expected) for subscribers.

Great app - most detailed and accurate forecast.

The old app was tolerable. Maybe a 3 star. The new isn't even worthy of 1 star. I've still not successfully logged into the app because 95% of the time the login button is inactive. Updating countries and resorts crashes the app. Basically it's unusable. Which is frustrating given that I pay for 6 months to a year at a time for their subscriptions. An app this bad should be embarrassing. It's not like they're delivering an MVP, this was a reboot of the already existing app.

I was hoping to be able to compare the local resorts close to Seattle. For my favorite resort, Steven's pass the app is reporting snow depth of 64"/52" and no snow since 24th Feb. Official data is 141"/108" and there has been lots of snow almost every day in the last 8 days (probably 5-6 ft of it)- when a ski resort gets 24" overnight you want to hear about it. Future 6 day forecast does not align with National weather service forecast for Pass. What a waste of money

Just awful! New update deleted all my favorites, the search function is a huge pain to use, and the word "countries" is actually spelled wrong in the main menu. I mean come on, countrties? Really? Definitely indicative of the developer's attention to detail. Please fix this glitchy mess and get it back to something useful.

This is by far the best snow forecast app in the app store but it would be even better if it was free.

The app works great if you only want to search resorts, but if you want to search say, the White Mountains in the Appalachian Mountain Range you have to visit their desktop site. You can access ranges and ravines on the desktop site but not on the app. It's would be nice if they could add that feature to the app. I'm a backcountry skier and sometimes after you leave base camp you still want to be able to check reports.

Most accurate info I have found for PacificNW - great app. Would like to see side by side comps of favorites if an update is planned : otherwise great! Thankyou!

As title says, Facebook login causes the application to crash. Website is usable as workaround.

First, this app should default to viewing Favorites list (if there are favorites), not Nearby resorts. The I've used the website for several years and its pretty accurate. While this app gives you identical snow forecasts, the temperature and wind forecast reported by the app is different from the data on the website and is not very accurate or useful. Really guys!? How hard is it to put the same 6-day forecast data in the app. Thats all I want! Thanks.

I used to use snow-forecast to check mountain stats for Oregon/Washington ski resorts with relative reliability. It was a disappointment when I switched to their previous version of the app as it was outdated and eventually wouldn’t work with IOS. Well, they just released the new version and here’s what I think: BOOOOO! The bad: -The app will only use metric in certain areas -current ski conditions are not accurate -the eyeball report does not work -requires notifications for the app to work -requires registration for it to work -unable to sort “My Resorts” - it only sorts alphabetically The good: -the table format for the resort weather is good

App crashes when I try to log in through Facebook.

The information on the website is great but the app is worthless as it will not let you login.

I like the website it’s the best forecast site I’ve found but the app just worked for a few times then it crashed and now just the welcome page comes up and then nothing!!!!!

This app is awesome. Works for me; I haven’t had any problems with it. Great accurate forecasts; tons of detail.

I wish I didn’t buy a year of open snow. Buying a year of this next year. Free version of this is better than paid open snow in my opinion
