Unusable Waste Of Money

I would like a refund. Maybe you haven’t updated this App but it is barely functional. I’ll be contacting Apple to see if they can do anything. Buggy, buggy, buggy. Perhaps the worst way to record a pit profile. I can think of a dozen better ways than the unusable app this is. Please do not buy.

Response from developer

Without the support of users like you we can’t continue to make improvements and changes for the betterment of our users and community. Please reach out to support@avalanchelab.org and we can hopefully help you troubleshoot for a better experience.

IOS 11

Hey! Make this ready to go for IOS 11!

Incredible! My favorite thing available for iPhone

I'm so happy I found this app! It's perfect for recording snowpit data and crown profiles. I love this because my handwriting is the worst. Outside in wet weather my notebook is beyond the worst. This keeps the system organized. Thanks for developing this app. Only one tweak that would set me into total snow geek nirvana: integrate the camera, compass and clinometer into the camera feature similar to what the Utah Avalanche center app uses. Having angle, aspect and elevation overlayed on the picture is wicked awesome. However as it is, it is totally usable as a notebook replacement. I'm stoked to use this!

Not Pleased

Super buggy. Location data is horrible and rarely updates even when entering manual coordinates. Profile function is a pain to use and not intuitive. Field books and Snow Pilot are far superior. Don't waste your time...

Not giving up my field book quite yet.

I'm giving 4 stars relative to the cost of the Pro version which is pretty high. For the price I expect an amazing app with no functional hitches. This app almost there.

I'm still not convinced that it's a replacement for my field book. So far I'm using both in parallel. Maybe with a bit more practice I could enter my observations directly but it still doesn't have the trip planning area that's in a field book.

I've emailed questions to the developer and the response time was very prompt.
