### 4/5 — Units of measurement

*2025-12-21, version 3.1.0*

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

### 5/5 — Use it to plan all my mountain trips

*2025-11-06, version 3.1.0*

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.

### 5/5 — Best Mountain Weather App Ever

*2025-11-04, version 3.1.0*

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!

### 5/5 — Get accurate forecasts for hiking/hunting

*2025-09-30, version 3.1.0*

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

### 5/5 — Great and precise weather forecast

*2025-09-03*

Helps to find sweet weather spot to climb mountains

**Developer response:** Hi Sjhchurb35.?;744gdgD, thanks for the positive feedback! We're glad you've been finding the app useful.

### 5/5 — Vital resource for your exploring arsenal

*2025-09-02, version 3.0.1*

Invaluable resource to add to your pre adventure checks to get a better idea of what the weather may be doing. 10/10 would recommend

### 5/5 — Fuji san

*2025-08-09*

Even though using free , for amateur it was very important to see all the information! Thanks

**Developer response:** Thanks for the positive review! It's great to have you part of our community Tchukas.

### 5/5 — Elk Hunting

*2025-08-02, version 3.0.1*

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.

### 5/5 — Great app for mountaineers

*2025-07-04, version 3.0.1*

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.

### 5/5 — Intuitive and easy to use app

*2025-06-03, version 3.0.1*

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!

### 2/5 — UPDATED 5/25 - Free App Only Gives Details Of Current Day, So FAR Less Useful than Bedore

*2025-05-31, version 3.0.0*

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.

### 5/5 — A Free App that the Park Service Uses

### 5/5 — Weather forecast!

*2025-04-04, version 2.0.5*

Very accurate weather forecast at all altitudes.

### 5/5 — Awesome app!

*2025-02-09, version 2.0.5*

Love this app - accurate info which becomes very useful to plan mountain hiking trips, especially during winter

### 5/5 — Excellent Weather App for Hard to Find Mountain Locations

*2025-01-29, version 2.0.3*

This app was a great find!

### 5/5 — Mr Myatt

*2024-12-27, version 2.0.3*

Absolutely love this app

### 5/5 — Easiest mountain forecast

*2024-12-08, version 2.0.3*

Very easy mountain by mountain specific forecast. I use it mostly for the English Lake District.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Dreadful

*2026-03-30, version 3.1.1*

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.

### 1/5 — Another greedy developer

*2025-04-14, version 2.0.5*

Considering that the weather data is taken from local sources, for free, yet you don’t know how to pull together a half decent effort on forecasting, you are now charging subscription for anything beyond a two-three day weather window?? Ridiculous at best and conniving at worse. Unfortunately plenty of gullible folk out there to support this daylight robbery. Could tell you where to put it.

### 1/5 — Won’t let me change password

*2025-02-27, version 2.0.5*

I got a new phone so I had to sign in for the 1st time in a long time and couldn’t find a screenshot of my password. I followed the prescribed “forgot password” procedure but then it refused the new password. Why do you even bother with a “forgot password” function if you’re not even going to follow your own directions! Your rules apply to you as well! Your program is straight rubbish!

### 1/5 — 👎🏻

*2024-11-29, version 2.0.3*

I signed up thinking it’s as good as the webpage… nope! The graph doesn’t even line up aka temperature shows by snowfall icon. And they want $5 per month if you want the long range forecast. Disappointing!!!

### 1/5 — Paywall

*2024-10-21, version 1.3.0*

Free to use (for 10 days). I feel deceived

### 1/5 — Free version Totally Useless

*2024-08-06, version 1.3.0*

Don’t bother to download this App - anything other than very basic information is locked away until you subscribe. Typical developer’s con 👎

### 1/5 — Joke

*2024-05-10, version 1.3.0*

They charge you to use the app, but you can use it for free off their website. Total joke. You shouldn’t be charging for something that can impact peoples decisions when in the alpine regions.

### 1/5 — Waste of £24.99 👎🏻

*2024-01-12, version 1.3.0*

I would spend more than that if its at least 50% accurate. But its such a crap and nothing there to purchase Pro membership!!
👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

### 1/5 — Not User Friendly.

*2023-12-27, version 1.3.0*

Just use the web page instead for the info you need.  Great information.

### 1/5 — Would be great if it worked at all

*2023-10-14, version 1.2*

App works for about 4 seconds, never any longer.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — My go-to weather app

*2026-09-02, version 4.1.0*

In the month I’ve been using this app the forecasts are more reliable than NOAA

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-08-19, version 4.1.0*

Use this religiously ahead of any big hikes. Plenty of good data to make sensible decisions with!

### 5/5 — Accurate mountain forecasts

*2026-08-15, version 4.1.0*

Came across this app by chance.   Like the detail on base cloud level, rainfall amounts and timings together with levels.   Currently using free version and level of ads just right

### 5/5 — Worth premium

*2026-06-12, version 4.1.0*

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.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2026-05-02, version 4.0.0*

Forecasts for specific mountains you can't find anywhere else

### 5/5 — The Best

*2026-04-26, version 4.0.0*

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

### 5/5 — The Final Puzzle Piece

*2026-02-12, version 3.1.1*

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!

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2026-01-02, version 3.1.0*

Excellent app. Clear and easy to use. No jumping distracting ads! :P

### 5/5 — Awesome weather app!

*2025-12-20, version 3.1.0*

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

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2025-12-05, version 3.1.0*

Awesome
