User reviews

A decent open snow alternative

Would be nice to have the ski areas you save stay in your main locations list.

Extremely poor UI quality

The UI flow is very confusing and not intuitive, using icons and buttons that don’t make clear sense compared to other contemporary UI design one might expect. Some UI elements like the button in the bottom-right to show the hidden time-lapse controls is too small and invisible, bordering on being inaccessible to the visually-impaired. The color coordination and icon theming looks elementary and primitive. It is not pleasing to the eyes. The textual labels above icons in the bottom of the screen are too thin, and again, inaccessible for the visually-impaired. The animations and transitions are janky and unpolished. Overall, this app is a rude misinterpretation of contemporary UI design that seems to make its own use a needlessly-painful experience. It is utterly divorced of common iOS app design standards, and shocking that such lackluster quality is even permitted to be on the App Store. So many changes would be needed for this app to be a satisfying experience, I can only recommend any user to look elsewhere, permanently.

Great app

Excellent app. Moved over from Accuweather and im never looking back.

Go-to

This is my go-to weather app. Reliable and has a clean UI. I appreciate the effort put in by the developer.

Fantastic weather app

Absolutely love this weather app. Simple, straight forward, easy to navigate, and very accurate. The only feature I really wish it had is widgets. Any future plans to add them? Thanks for your hard work on this app!
