Colour blind accessibility

Just started using the app and it seems really useful. But very difficult to distinguish thin red lines from thin green lines for a colour blind person. Should consider colour/line options for any future releases.

Super helpful app!!!

This app was so helpful for a week of skiing in the Methow Valley! The live trail map was especially valuable, and kept me on the right track more than once. I’m curious how they get the live grooming reports and hope they get the Cabin Creek and Crystal Springs trails soon because that’s my normal weekend spot. Excited for paid features like favorites!

Sugarloaf Outdoor Center

Really good app for a really good Nordic area. The courses are well maintained.

“Premium” features BS

All the useful parts of this app are about to become useless.

First you collect money from the ski resorts annually, then thats not enough?

Might as well delete it now folks, this app is about to be useless.

Difficult to navigate

Map is blank 75% of the time. Intuitively, you’d think clicking on a system would bring you to the map for that area…wrong. You just get the list of activity, not that helpful if you aren’t familiar with trail names etc. I’d rather see the map first, then see a list of trails later.

Amazing app updates

The latest app update with trail elevations and 3D map mode is amazing. The elevation view even shows color-coding for which sections of the trail were groomed more recently. The insight this app gives into current skiing conditions is pretty incredible.

No thanks!

Not yet usable.

Maps do not load, and the live mapping is certainly not working. Downloaded from the link on the Methow Trails app which used to have awesome live tracking on the trails map. Really disappointing 🙁

Response from developer

Hi there, thanks for letting us know you're experiencing an issue. Would you mind sending us an email at support@nordic-pulse.com with a bit more info about the maps not loading? We'd be more than happy to help get you back on track - maps should be there, along with geolocation features to help you navigate the trails. Regarding groomer live-tracking, we'll all have to wait for some snow to watch the groomers in-action! Cheers, Julien + the team

Buggy

Great concept and awesome when it works, but still a lot of bugs to work out. It often fails to show the maps and you have to restart the app for it to update. The concept is good enough that they will probably eventually get it right though!

Response from developer

Hey there, thanks for sharing your feedback. If you have a few moments, would you mind sending us an email at at support@nordic-pulse.com with some further info about the issues you’re experiencing? Restarting the app shouldn’t be needed to refresh grooming! Let’s see if we can help get things working properly for you.

Love Nordic Pulse

This app is amazing ! It is so great having one place to see the conditions of most of my favorite places to ski! Saves me a lot of time as I’m researching the best conditions around ! Thank you!!!

Requires sign up - for seeing anything - get lost!

This app only wants to harvest and sell your data for no benefit. No thanks!

Awesome app!

I am thoroughly impressed with the Nordic Pulse app! Previously, I used Trail Forks, Gaia GPS, and All Trails to find, plan, and use cross-country skiing trails. Unfortunately, nobody was using a single platform until I found the Nordic Pulse app.

I downloaded Nordic Pulse just two days ago, and I have absolutely loved using it! The app provides grooming reports for the trails I'm interested in, along with their difficulty level and the best part, the names and sections of each trail are clearly marked!

With Nordic Pulse, it's now so easy for me to choose a skiing destination, plan my routes, check my location with a glance at the app, and most importantly, enjoy my skiing!

Greatest thing to happen to XC since snow

Been waiting for an app like this. Very grateful to the developers, this makes staying up to date on grooming conditions so much easier. Navigation is fast, haven’t noticed any bugs.

Would love to know your product roadmap. If it’s not on there: One vote for being able to give tips to grooming staff/trail system organizations! I’m generally not a fan of tipping or its recent proliferation (rather just pay a living wage), but if anyone deserves it, surely that group should include folks who wake in the wee hours to give us beautiful corduroy.

Account required

Seems to work fine but uninstalled as it’s mandatory to create an account linked to your name and email.

Would be better if you can simply add ski areas to the app requiring this account.
