This app is amazing and has minimal bugs/flaws
Simply the best tracking app for winter sports!
Incredible feature-rich resort tracking app!
AWESOME!!!!
Integration and usability
1 easy to set and use 😊
2 integration with Strava and MyfitnessPal👍
3 even on iPhone screen eligible to read
4 really gives metrics based on ski time, chair T bar time, idle time
5 in run details you customise map and details to be sent via your message App👍
6 like max speed but it can become a fools game as in trying to go faster ⛷
Negatives
1 only one but it really drained the power on Apple Watch 5‼️ in the end I turn off blue tooth and ran the Slopes App on the IPhone only! I could see no difference and my Watch could easily track everything else without running out of power - see no point on the watch as using Bluetooth and GPS off the iPhone kills battery life on the watch🤔

Hey there, thanks for taking the time to leave a review, we're stoked to hear that you're enjoying Slopes! Sorry to hear about the battery issues though, and it's weird that you found that taking your phone with you killed battery life on the Watch. It should be the opposite and why we recommend taking your phone with you. The Apple Watch is smart and will use your phone's GPS instead of its own when it can, with the aim of saving battery (and the phone's GPS is also more accurate). With your phone in a pocket you can expect the Watch to easily last all day, whereas without the phone you'll likely see closer to 6 or 7hrs of battery before it dies.
Buggy
When it does upload the Strava, it is really just pulled across as a screenshot. No HR data appears on Strava. Have been feeding this back for 2.5 years. In the market for a new app.
Gave two stars, cos as a stand-alone app is not bad. But really wanting the Strava record
Response from developer
Hey there, we're sorry for the frustration you've been having with Slopes. There's currently a server-side issue with sending activities to Strava from Slopes, we're working hard on getting it fixed as we speak. In the meantime, we're sending the recordings over to Strava manually for users who are writing in to report the issue, if you send us a message via the Account tab -> Help & Support -> Report a Bug we can do that for you too. As for heart rate not being sent to Strava, that's not a bug. It's because your heart rate data doesn't hit our server - we don't collect and store it so it doesn't leave your device/Apple Health. For that reason we can't send it to Strava, to send data to Strava it needs to go to our server first. We're aware that there is increasing demand for this though, so we are keeping it in mind as we work on further development.
Very impressed

We're so happy to hear that you're loving Slopes and found the digital trail maps for NZ resorts useful - they launched just this season 😎
Amazing

Response from developer
What a review - thank you so much!
Great app for skiers, with lots of Information
So all in all great app with one small caveat.
Response from developer
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review, we're stoked to hear that you love the app! While we'd love to make all the app's features free, working on Slopes is a full-time job for our small team of 3 people and so we need to make money to keep the business sustainable, and to be able to keep working on it. In saying that though, the core feature of the app, recording your days is free, as well as the friends comparison feature and location sharing which was released late 2021.
