Leave a Review Snow Report & Forecast
Terribly inaccurate
This app is just plain worthless. From late November to January 3rd, they were reasonably accurate on snowfall once! Today they forecast snow while it’s 40 degrees. If you go into tools to contact us button it crashes the app. Obviously they don’t want to hear from customers.
My recommendation, keep looking as this is not the app for youShow lessClown time 42a45
Lots of limitation notices
I like the long explanation messages about NOAA updates because they let me know when there will be an update and the limitations of the data (staleness, accuracy, originating weather station.) It appears that the developer is willing to listen to customer feedback. The price of the app is for convenience of viewing the free data in a mobile format, and I am fine with paying a small upfront price for convenience and no ads. The data could be displayed a little more concisely in a bar graph (like an old 32-bit iOS snow app), but overall this gets the job done.Show lessMisterMysterio
Very accurate!
I work at a mountain resort so it’s important for me to have an accurate source for predicting snowfall. Last week the local radio station was calling for 1-3” and this app predicted 6”+ and we ended up getting 7” of snowfall that day. Given how inconsistent the weather man is this is a good option for accurate snow forecast.Show lessMatthewtus

I live in an area that gets a lot of snow, would be helpful to have snow alerts when snow is expected to get higher then set amountSir roben
Great App...for iPhone
Just got this app before our first significant snowfall of the season in Denver. Works great on iPhone. Lots of details and customization option. I like that one app is compatible on both iPhone and iPad, but iPad version only works in Portrait Mode. Wish the option to view in Landscape Mode was available.Show lessMole555
Lots of info at my fingertips
It took me a little while to get used to using this app, but now that I have I appreciate all of the detailed info I can get.
Also I contacted the developer with a question and received a response very quickly.
The only negative feedback I have is when using it on my iPad it can only be viewed in portrait orientation. I would love to have a landscape option.Show lessWatcher57
Disappointed not!
I miss the old version NOAA snow app it seemed to have simpler functionality. However now that I have learned how to use this app I’m happy to say I like it. It took some getting used to but it seems to be working well. I have even used it in Montreal where it is essential. Also the developer was extremely responsive to my concerns that impressive all by itself. No refund needed.

Hi Jyoav, in general the app allows you to add favorites to a list and then easily access the snow forecast by tapping on the favorite location (this works for both the weather station and point forecast features). I'd be more than happy to listen to your ideas on how to make this more simple. Please email me at mwnbdc@gmail.com. We can discuss app improvements and if the app is not useful for you, we can start the refund process. Thank you, -WillFree version worked, paid version does not.
The free version of the app was very reliable in that the forecast was always available. Since switching to the paid version some time ago I can count on one hand, with fingers to spare, the number of times I have NOT seen the message “Error retrieving weather.” This is sad since it was a really nice application.Show less_steve_75836
New app not so great.
First off it’s really not cool that I paid for the app and poof it quit working. You just updated a new one and are making everyone pay to add it? Other apps just update and don’t charge. Also, the new one is harder to use. I have 2 so called stations near me just a mile or 2 apart yet one says to expect 4” of snow and one says 0”??? Something is not right. Now I paid for an app that quit working and a new one that’s no good. 😓
Edit- I have tested this new app through 2 more snowstorms. It’s still way off in the snow amounts. Also, it continues to report completely different between the two stations just a couple miles apart.Show lessSnow upset

Hi, so this app is not at all related to your 'old app'. The 'old app' was developed by a different developer so I'd really appreciate you editing your review to reflect this. I'm always looking for new ways to improve the app, but unfortunately I cannot 'improve' the accuracy. I'm not sure why the stations would be forecasting different values however all data is governed by the NOAA Snow Forecast model, not the 'app'. I'd be more than happy to refund your $$ if you do not find the app useful. Please email me at mwnbdc@gmail.com.Not a fan
I so far have not enjoyed the new app, that I had to pay for. The previous free app was much better. The format was easier to follow - and it was actually accurate. This app states we were going to get 3.4” of snow this morning when snow was never in the forecast for us. So what gives? Disappointed that I lost the old app and paid for the new one, and it’s worse.
Edit: yet another NON-forecast that said we had 5.1” fall on Monday and it didn’t snow at all. Said we got a dusting the next day. Nothing happened. And I haaaaate the format. The fact that I have to add .17 this hour to .47 the next and then .23 the next.....I just really hate this app.Show lessAshley0317

Hi Ashley, the accuracy of this app is governed by NOAA (both for the weather station forecast and the point forecast). This app simply graphs and displays the NOAA forecast / reports so unfortunately I cannot 'fix the accuracy'. As for the data format, you do not need to 'add each hour' up to determine the total snowfall. At the top, there is a graph and the total snowfall for each day. Also, if you want a "morning vs midday vs nighttime" snowfall summary, the app shows that as well. Or if you are looking for cumulative snowfall, the app 'adds' the snowfall and shows it directly next to the '.17 this hour and then .23 the next'. Please contact me at mwnbdc@gmail.com and I'd be more than happy to hear about how I can make the app more useful for you. Have you taken a look at the latest update (1.2.0)? Lots of new features and improved app performance. Would really appreciate you revisiting your review after you take a look. Thank you!
