Worth premium

I normally hate paid subscription/paywall apps but as of this writing it’s only $3.99 for monthly and worth every penny for what I’ve found to be a pretty accurate forecast on several climbs.

The Best

The best mountain weather app in the game. Multi-elevation reports and long range forecast’s are key when planning trips into the backcountry.

Dreadful

Absolutely dreadful UI and terrible user experience. Possibly one of the worst I’ve seen! The forecasts are generally always wrong! Very typical of mountain-forecast.com. They are aways inaccurate. Just avoid this app, it’s dreadful.

The Final Puzzle Piece

Instead of piecing the forecast together from multiple apps and websites Mountain Forecast has been the one stop shop for the most accurate forecasts per mountain. Normally I’d have to make my own predictions based off general location data. Now it’s as easy as looking up your mountaineering subject of choice and bingo everything you will need all in one place. It’s been extremely accurate for me so far. I 100% put trust in Mountain Forecast for my weather info. Perfect for making sure I stay safe and prepared out in the mountains. I highly recommend giving it a try and use it along side your normal weather forecasting process and see what gives you better results and ease of use. For full transparency I pay for the subscription and think it is worth the price, data and ease of use make it a great value. In my opinion you can’t put a price on making it home safely after a trip out into the mountains and accurate forecasts are essential!

Units of measurement

It would be nice to switch between imperial and metric. If this is possible it’s not intuitive. I’ve looked online and in the app.

Note that I get the extended forecast because I pay for GAIA. This subscription gets me access to mountain forecast, skier mag and I think all other Outdoor Mag websites

Hi, that's great you are using your Outside Plus perk of access to our apps. Unit swtiching is via the "account" cog on the bottom right of the app screen.

Awesome weather app!

The app is packed with information, once you realize how to use it all!

Use it to plan all my mountain trips

The app is intuitive and easy to use. All the info I need to plan my hiking and backpacking trips. The cloud base data is especially helpful. I’ve found the forecasts to be pretty reliable, especially within a few days out.

Best Mountain Weather App Ever

I struggled to find a good weather app to help forecast my local mountains, and this is literally the most accurate tool ever. Premium subscription is definitely worth it!

Get accurate forecasts for hiking/hunting

Don’t rely on your local forecast for what is happening in the mountains. This app will help you plan much better trips.

Elk Hunting

Mountain-Forecast is an excellent source of detailed current and future mountain weather. This level of information is crucial when planning for and hunting elk in high elevation mountains.

Great app for mountaineers

Having tested it on 4 4000m-ers in the European Alps to the summit of each and various summits on the Scottish mainland plus islands, this app gives a good clear synopsis of the next few days of weather quite accurately, in particular wind speeds and freezing levels proved to be most accurate. Well done - recommended for mountaineers.

Intuitive and easy to use app

With the ability to save my mountains as favourites, it’s really easy to find the information I need quickly. Love your new logo! I didn’t know you had a snow app also-Love that too for the snow season. Keep up the great work!

UPDATED 5/25 - Free App Only Gives Details Of Current Day, So FAR Less Useful than Bedore

Update—Since they changed the basic (free) version, I don’t use it much anymore. Future days are forecast-limited to morning/afternoon/night, so basically useless. And I’m not paying $25/year for something I can pretty much get for free (NOAA, AccuWeather, Weather underground and many, many more).

I think all previous reviews should be wiped clean when there’s this much of a change in the app. Otherwise, they’re false.

Previous review:

As my title says, FREE. For now anyway. God help me if they start charging for the basic version. I’d have to go back to NOAA, which is pessimistic and doesn’t do spot forecasts.

Mountain Forecast lacks the ability to find ridges or other relatively minor places you might want to hike, but there’s that magic word FREE. And, combined with ACCURATE, it’s pretty much unbeatable.

I live close to Rocky Mountain Nat’l Park. I discovered the mountain-forecast site after asking a ranger what they used. I find the app to be significantly more accurate than NOAA, especially because it gives you data on at least two elevations. That’s huge for someone like me who seeks elevation and hates hiking up in the heat. Going down, warm is okay.

Also, the app is more accurate on hike day (or morning, as I often do short morning hikes in the foothills). I can see hour-by-hour how it’s going to be, and can get out and enjoy some sun (and often low wind) when I see it’ll cloud up and blow/snow/rain in the afternoon.

So, in short, I’m very grateful to the folks behind the app for allowing me easy forecasting accuracy for free. Thank you, mountain forecast.
