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 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

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

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

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 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.

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

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!

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.

Demystifies avalanche conditions, whether you’re going to the back country or just dreaming about it.
By Krausee3
Puts the caic in an easy to access and use format. Definitely worth having and looking at daily in the winter.

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.

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

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 !!!

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

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

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.
