Unfortunately doesn’t work

I was very thrilled about this app because I always have to open my browser and go to mountain - forecast. Com and although it’s not much of a process I always thought there should be an app that did this. I especially wanted to be able to check up on the weather without being connected to WiFi. This app unfortunately couldn’t even locate a mountain near me let alone give me the weather for them. Even when I manually entered the mountains, it was never able to provide me with the summit weather. Great idea but definitely really needs some work.

No weather

I’m having the same problem. It displays a little info about the mountain but I can’t find any weather. Odd, given the name. And odd there’s no reply to the August review. I wish it worked.

Not for Wind River Range

Kept it several days to see if there was just a momentary glitch, but could not get weather info for any of the major peaks within 50 miles of my location. Many peaks were listed, but they all had errors retrieving weather.

Excellent idea, but not for NH

I live in an area surrounded by several smaller mountains and they aren’t listed on the app, which is understandable since only so many can be listed, but one of them is Mt Monadnock, which is said to be one of the most hiked mountains in the world. I also tried getting information for a couple of peaks in the White Mountains of NH but after close to a minute the info still hadn’t loaded.

Great app for hikers

Great app. I am located in southern Nevada and most of the mountains can be located on this map. I am not able to locate Mount Charleston so hopefully this will be added in an update. This app is easy to use and I really like the climbing “fun facts” that are provided when a page is loading.

May be ok for somewhere else

I live by Mt Rainier, less than 30 miles away and it doesn’t pop up on the Mountains Near me section.
When I finally loaded it... the search feature isn’t friendly... the weather wasn’t even there. It does list good info about the mountain but no weather. Very disappointing.
I’m sure it will get better going forward but for now... 1 ⭐️

Not helpful for southern Appalachians

This app may be awesome in other places, but for the southern region of the Appalachians, it isn’t very good at all... I live in Waynesville, NC. Granted there aren’t any 14,000 ft mtns around here, but they are tall enough to screw with the local weather crew... was hoping to have found a reliable “mountain” weather app.... my search continues...

Dead app; server not working

This looks like it’s put together well and has great information but the weather is missing and the developer’s website is down. If you wait long enough you can view information on the mountain.

Does what it needs to do

I was gonna go on a nice stroll up Everest but I figured I should check the app first. Apparently it's cold up there. Might've died. 5 stars

Simple & informative

Thanks for your work developing this app works well and provides critical info for planning hikes AND its free which is becoming more rare these days

Cool idea

Very cool idea and works well. Generally I would try to avoid using material design on iOS as it disrupts the natural flow and cohesion between apps. Also I would have it so the search bar wasn't part of the scrollable view since it is floating and gets cutoff by an invisible block when you try to scroll up. Settings page seems a bit overkill for just the one setting - maybe just have a segmented control or keep the switch and put it on the main search page. For the actual weather pages I would incorporate the pull down refresh, but I think that's just another piece of material design vs iOS design. Great color scheme and layout though - really visually pleasing.

Simple and useful

Elegantly solves the problem of figuring out what temps will be at the top of a hike/climb or getting forecasts in the backcountry. Gives weather including a 5 day forecast at a peak's elevation and two lower elevations. It also breaks down the data by morning, afternoon, and night to help you plan timing. Metric or imperial units are options in the settings, and every mountain I've searched has popped up right away. An advertisement is shown briefly after selecting a location while the data is being fetched. Thanks for the app!

Helpful app for going into the mountains
