Stability and bug fixes.

User reviews

Best forecasting in Colorado

Even if you don’t use this app for the backcountry, this is still the absolute most accurate weather forecasting in the state.

Keeps me updated

Love this app, I get in the habit of checking it almost everyday during the winter. Been using it for a couple years now and I rely on the forecast anytime I’m up on high peaks in the winter.

Great improvement!

The new app is awesome!!! Huge improvement over the old app! It is super easy to submit photos and observations. It is also easy to view forecasts and weather that you downloaded in the morning if you are out of service (ie reviewing forecast with partners at a trail head). Huge thank you to CAIC for fixing this app and making it a great tool!

This app does not work

I have attempted to use the various versions of this app on both the iOS and Android platforms with limited success. The app constantly fails to load map information, problem list and elevation rose data. Pretty much worthless overall. Latest snafu is the recent update running on iOS 11 where “Error loading map framework!” messages appear upon startup with strong cellular data and WiFi connectivity present.

Not great.

The all doesn't show avy danger for different aspects and elevations. Really? Why not?

Also, get rid of that banner on the map that says "click anywhere to..."
It's just annoying.
