OnTheSnow Ski & Snow Report Software

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.

It verges on not being at all useful. I have been an avid user for 5 years. This was my tool to see where (which ski areas) it had snowed and where it was going to snow and what temp and conditions were. It is now a vehicle for ads. The forecast component is terrible now. The history component is not much better; I can see snow in the past 2 days. This has gone from a useful ski app to useless. The layout and architecture is so compromised, I don’t see how it can ever be a helpful tool. Update: It doesn’t even feel like an app, more like a mobile web site. You can find things, but they are really buried. Went from one star to two—but the previous version was 4+ and lived on my iPhone home screen. This one will be moved way back, and if you continue to force social media log-in credentials, I am gone. I would pay a $5-10/year subscription for this info with less obtrusive ads and a better interface. Would pay that for the old app.

I’ve used this app for my snow reports for several seasons now. While it was good and used to work seamlessly, it’s now starting to fall apart. Now sometimes my snow reports won’t even update for days. Leaving me looking for other ways to check my favorite resorts snow totals A couple things I’d like to see on a new updated app: - I’d suggest updating the UI as this app is getting a bit outdated. Something fresh and modern instead of looking boxy and plain with bright colors. - updated trail maps - the ability to organize your favorite resorts by state or region - show acreage open per mountain (helpful for the first two/three months of the season) - ability to zoom in and scroll vertically on trail maps. (currently you can only scroll horizontally while zoomed in, thus almost making it pointless.) - updated snow depth history (charts look incomplete and it’s hard to visualize the chart and compare with last season) Overall i’ve loved using this app in the past and it’s been my go to for snow reports but it’s showing its age and needs a major overhaul to stay at the forefront of snow reports and weather updates. I’ve now started to go elsewhere for my information.
