### 4/5 — Past precipitation data would be awesome

*2025-02-22*

I use this app every weekend. The only thing I would love would love to have would be precipitation data for the past couple days. I live near sandstone boulders that are fragile when wet and having that info would be extremely valuable.

### 2/5 — Favorites don’t work

*2022-10-23*

I liked this app for a while because it allowed me to save favorites and look at weather for all my favorite areas at a glance, making it faster and easier to decide where to go climbing.

A couple years ago, though, the favorites page stopped working. It just shows an endless loading icon. This makes the app pretty much useless for me because it’s easier to view my saved locations on normal weather apps.

I tried uninstalling and re-installing but it still doesn’t work. Disappointing.

### 1/5 — Looks to be broken

*2022-09-01*

Many climbing areas have no more data

### 4/5 — Add area

*2022-01-30*

Possible to add Mud Mountain in Truth or Consequences , NM please?

### 4/5 — Decent app, does the basics

*2020-12-17*

Thanks for the app, nice to have the basics.

One critical missing thing is that you don’t show past weather. In many places you can’t climb for a few days if it rains to protect the rock, any chance you could also render the last 3 days?

### 4/5 — Good! Some bugs

*2019-01-11*

Three questions

•is there any way to add the Nut Tree boulders in Vacaville, Ca?

•is there any way to have your favorites listed in an order I want (or even the order I favorited them) instead of ordered (from what I can see) randomly and I’d have to find the one I want?

•is there a way to fix the bug of when you scroll through a state and pick an area to favorite or view,  when you press “Back” to go back to the state’s area list, going back doesn’t load to the top of the page (as what it does) but instead loads to the location down the list you selected the previous area you viewed?

### 5/5 — Necessary

*2017-01-03*

Can't climb without this!

### 2/5 — Crap

*2016-04-09, version 1.1*

Shows rain clouds with 4% chance of rain....

### 1/5 — Somethings wrong

*2014-10-09*

The app has stopped working Along with the website. It is no longer giving accurate forecasts. my climbing friends and I have had to stop using it. It says it's raining and snowing with 0% chance of precipitation. Then it says 80 mile an hour winds? right now it says it's raining in Los Angeles. Well... It's not soooo.

### 5/5 — All you need

*2013-11-12*

It's all you need. Adding things to your favorites is super simple if your not an idiot.

Minor fixes:

- If a forecast value was empty, in some cases a large negative number was displayed

### 1.5 — 2018-04-18

We've made some improvements to the "Nearby Areas" search, which was a bit glitchy. Now it clearly asks for permission if you have not granted access and refreshes only when needed. Also, we fixed an issue on the search areas screen that caused the screen to go black and the search bar to be lost. Enjoy!
