Avalanche Forecasts Examine App

Please update for iPad Pro screen size ?

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

I love this app 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.

Great resource that gives you exactly what you sign up for

I've used this app 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 !!!

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. This app is dangerous to use for a novice!

I want to like this app. I look at WA state avy conditions. This app 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.

This used to be my go to app but it appears it is no longer pulling in updates from NWAC for the PNW.

I loved using this app, 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

It’s Nov 2020 and it’s snowing in CO. I use the CAIC mobile app as my go to and decided to try this app 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.

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

Hasn’t been updated in years so doesn’t support the newer phones. I now use backcountry beta app which has the same avalanche forecasts and more features.

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

See above.

It’s so hard to maneuver this app. 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 the app 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 the app and debug! Thank you for all you do!

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

Awesome app. Thank you for making it available for free. You are truly committed to backcountry safety. Keep up the strong work!

Perfect app for winter hikes in Colorado.

Yes.

Use this app! Use this app daily! Stay in the know before you go!!

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

Easy to use and critical information.

It the best Avalanche forecast app out right now but it has been crashing a lot on when I need it the most

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

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

Love it

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

Get the forecast in the palm of your hand!

Crashes so fast I can't even give it approval to use my location.

On the go Avy reporting. How can you go wrong.

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

quick access to the daily avy bulletin for CO regions as well as observations for tour planning. great app!

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

Easy access to a great resource!

The intent of this app is to educate and to hopefully save lives of those who venture out into our beautiful backcountry here in Utah. I use this app before heading out as step 1 towards safety and my friends do as well.&

scrapped from the avi forecast site perfectly!

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

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

Great app

I love the convenience of up to date avalanche conditions before I head out into the backcountry.

Super important to have, easy to use and works well. This app's got you covered.

Good basic app.

This is a great functional interface to local avalanche centers. Great job!

Simple to get basic info, east to use. Great job on this one. Tried many others and this is the best. Thanks.

Shows map of avalanche areas and rating. Clicks through to the specific report for that area.

It's better than nothing, but the regions that it collects reports for are limited.

Brings all the avalanche bulletins in the US and Canada together. Very easy to use and understand.

I like this app, and the ease of use, but it needs to link to the Crested Butte Avalanche Center, instead of the CAIC, for the Crested Butte/Gunnison CO region. The CBAC provides a better forecast for the Crested Butte zone. The CBAC forecasters live and ski here every day.

I love it and use it all the time. Quick access to my local forecast and the map is cool-looking and helpful.
