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.

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.

Avuncular lab
Takes some practice to learn how to use, but is an excellent tool for tracking pit profiles and data. Has great tools inside the application.
Avy Lab Rules Your World
A little buggy, crashes here and there, but a great way to generate pit profiles. Appears to be fully SWAG compliant - I use my notebook in the field and then transfer the data back home. Some great features, has a load of potential for networked observation sharing. Has all the tools you need - clinometer, crystal card, and location. I'd consider using this instead of a notebook, but wet iPhone screens can be a pain and its still a little buggy for me to shed my analog ways.
If you're a Level 2 backcountry enthusiast or a snow geek, this is a great tool to have in your quiver!

Great app!
Great free app for saving pit data... I enter all my hand written field notes in here for easy reviewing later.
Best pit book app out there
Great app! Tons of features for such a small niche. Record all your field obs and email to your avy center. No need to rewrite from a paper field book. Worth having just for the angle measurement tools and gps recording.
Good so far.
I like this app for the price and the ease of use out in the field.
Snow much for snow little
Great app for the phone. Handy go to that seems easy to use. The real test will be its effeminacy when it's -20c
Great addition to the tool box
It's nice to be able to share my observations with my friends.
Thanks!!!
Thanks for supporting the Northern Rockies Avalanche Safety Workshop in Whitefish, Montana. Just downloaded your app and look forward to the opportunity to use it this winter.
Has all the tools
Great app has all the note capabilities of a field note book. It would be nice if we could access data uploaded by others
Sweet!
I love this app. I would use it all the time except that my profiles disappear. I got them back once but I think there all gone for good this time. Oh and if the iPhone could warm my fingers that would be nice too lol.
Great tool for snow science
First rate, good interface and enjoyable to use. Please make an iPad version! How about interactive pit diagramming?
Great app, lots of features
Lots of tools, the clinometer is stellar.
Nice app
Great idea, nice execution.
Need an iPad version
This app is fantastic. Has all the tools needed for field observations. Really easy to use. Please make a version for the iPad so publishing and printing and tracking snowpack trends is easier.
It just gets better
As long as you don't let your phone go deed, this app puts a lot of tools in one spot
