Avalanche Forecasts Reviews

by Bearheine

It’s so hard to maneuver AvalancheForecasts. While I do like what they tried to do with the update, there are just too many bugs and layout issues. Why do I have to turn my phone sideways to view AvalancheForecasts now?

When I try to view event map photos, it doesn’t show you, and when you fiddle with it enough to get the photo to show up it’s incredibly small.

Please update AvalancheForecasts and debug! Thank you for all you do!

I've used AvalancheForecasts for years, and love it. But this year there is no color coding for "at a glance" forecast -- it is all gray.

And when I tap on a region, I get all the forecasts for the entire state starting with the Olympics.

Canada looks and works, but who is in charge of Washington? You're not doing your job !!!

I want to like AvalancheForecasts. I look at WA state avy conditions. AvalancheForecasts makes it hard to find that information. I can find it, but it’s inconvenient, like it doesn’t like NWAC data or the data’s not formatted correctly. BC zones work, why not WA?? Despondent. Fix my problems. Please. I will love you. I’m using iOS 14.2, latest version of avy forecast as of today.

The entire Cascade Range is shown on the map as a grey “No Rating”. When you click on a specific region, it takes you not to that specific region, but to a list of all of the regions, and when you find the one you’re looking for, the avy risk is orange/considerable or red/severe, not grey.

AvalancheForecasts is dangerous to use for a novice!

It’s Nov 2020 and it’s snowing in CO. I use the CAIC mobile app as my go to and decided to try AvalancheForecasts out.
Unfortunately it’s not functioning for CO yet :(.
It also separates the S and N San Juan zones where the CAIC has then together on their app.
This is probably why there’s and error “404” showing when you click on these zones.
Admin should fix this.

Everything works well until you click on a zone and then it gives you options to look at. You try clicking on an option nothing happens. Use online versions all the time but doesn’t work on smartphone

I love AvalancheForecasts but something broke in 2021 winter. Map for WA no longer shows forecast colors, but when you tap on sub-region it still gives correct forecast. Web version still works as expected.

I loved using AvalancheForecasts, super user friendly and simple to get the info you needed. Then they updated and removed the Crested Butte area forecast for some reason. Now I basically don’t use it at all because it serves no purpose for me. What a bummer

All the data you need with an easy interface. I love it!

I can look at current and future avy hazards in North America. I used it in BC last year!

Great resource that gives you exactly what you sign up for

Great app, simple and at your fingertips. I live in Seattle and it has great access to nwac data and reports.

Nice UI, far easier to navigate than the non-optimized web version. Exactly what I was looking for. Bring on winter!

by Gslcut

Simple and easy to use. Open it every time I head out

Use AvalancheForecasts! Use AvalancheForecasts daily! Stay in the know before you go!!

by Krausee3

Puts the caic in an easy to access and use format. Definitely worth having and looking at daily in the winter.

Demystifies avalanche conditions, whether you’re going to the back country or just dreaming about it.

I live in colorado and love using AvalancheForecasts more than the CAIC app itself. Would highly recommend downloading AvalancheForecasts if avalanches are something you like to follow.

Great app that gives everything you need for all your ski trips in one app. No need to download multiple apps, this one does it all

Love having a general idea of how the different areas are loading, releasing etc. AvalancheForecasts helps to inform others when putting a tour together. Thanks

by Stinglessbee1

Use it all the time. There was a glitch last week where I was not able to see color scheme for various areas. Working now.

by Jrhseattle

Gives a general map of conditions as well as in depth descriptions when clicked on.
