J’aime bcp le mode entraînement ou Check de groupe…Merci qui ? On peut faire plus simple pour l’appairage. Quelques fautes d’ergonomie. Crash de l’app lors de la création de compte. Warning en anglais. Bref. Évolution à venir c’est certain. ### 5/5 — Arva *2023-11-08, version 1.5.0* Anche dopo questo aggiornamento continua a caricare ma non funziona???? ### 1/5 — App inutilizzabile *2023-10-16, version 1.4* Continua il caricamento dei dati senza dare risposta, anche installandola una seconda volta ### 1/5 — The app won't finish loading after I added a mountain *2023-09-27, version 1.4* After I added a mountain the app started loading forever, nothing changes if I restart the app or iPhone. The app is now completely unusable. ### 5/5 — Utile *2023-03-14, version 1.3* Pratique pour préparer les sorties ski de randonnée avec la consultation du BERA et l’aide à la préparation de la sortie. Le contenu de prévention est intéressant et montre bien qu’il faut apprendre et s’entraîner. ### 5/5 — Un vrai plus pour mes sorties en montagne 👍🏼 *2023-01-09, version 1.1* Quel plaisir de découvrir l’application ARVA et ce qu’elle propose.
