Open Summit
LOVE IT!
Good data for the sites you can find
As a rock climbing planning app it’s pretty limited. There are major crags and climbing areas that you can’t find. You would think something like red river gorge or new river gorge would be easy to get weather data on….
Subscription
I bought the Subscription thinking that I was going to get 10 days forecast but my app shows only 5 days
Great app
I religiously use OpenSnow and OpenSummit before any adventure (and even when I masochistically decide to check the weather while I’m stuck at my desk). They’re always coming out with new and inventive features, improving their forecasts, and app experience. These are must have apps for any outdoor sport or weather nerd.

Thank you so much! We are in the process of retiring OpenSummit and moving all features over to our other app, OpenSnow. Please download OpenSnow for the best experience. -Sam
I was wrong
Missed the tab
So helpful!
I live in tahoe and have used the smoke / air quality forecasts every day the last two summers when the fire season heated up. Love all the work the OpenSummit/OpenSnow has made happen!
Smoke (surface)
Very disappointed in your map that details smoke on the surface. Very low visibility and terrible air quality here in Santa Fe New Mexico. But your map shows nothing amiss. Today the density of smoke is much greater than normal although every day for weeks we’ve had smoke in the air and reduced visibility of our mountains. Just wanted you to know that I tried hello@open summit.com. couldn’t get that to open up no matter how many different ways I tried. Weather channels app also shows perfectly clear air here. Boggling my mind. at least their website provide you with a very easy way to give feedback.

Saved my summer road trips from ruin
The mountain weather is now so much more complicated in the West with fires and smoke. This app brings everything together and lets you plan your missions with remarkable insight. For the last 3 summers, my road trips across the US would have been nightmares without this valuable info. What a great bargain, too.

Doesn’t do much unless you subscribe
It do doesn’t give you info unless you subscribe.
Unmatched forecasting
I live on a large lake in northern Utah that seems to make it difficult to predict weather forecasts. Open Summit is the only source I use now to view upcoming storms and get reliable weather predictions. I really love the smoke (surface) overlay, and air quality forecast in summer months in order to plan for days that my children should play indoors. I love this app and am constantly sharing screenshots of maps to family and friends. Well worth the $20 annual fee.

Phenomenal App
Great job to the team, this is incredible!
Best mountain weather app
I use it for all of my climbs! Great app and definitely recommend buying it
Great App
Love this app always consult it when planning outdoor activities. Especially like the breakdown of rain, lightening etc.
THE primary source for Mountain weather
Absolutely vital resource for anyone planning travel and activities in the Colorado mountains, or, frankly any other US mountain region. The maps and layers are the best.
For winter use, the sister app OpenSnow is also a must have.

Great app for planning summer mountain hikes

Great guide!
So thankful for this app! It is our go to before we hike a mountain!
Go-to app for air quality info and more!
I love this app for air quality info and wildfire smoke info, including FORECASTS!
Don’t leave home without checking this app.
Great weather app for all outdoors people. I use the five day forecasts to decide when and where to hike. The map overlays are also informative particularly concern wildfire smoke.
Forced to create an account
I was really excited about this app, but you can’t view the forecast unless you create an account. Why should I have to give my full name and personal email address just to see the weather forecast?
Edit in response to the developer reply: Thank you for your response, but I still do not understand why a weather app would require users to create an account. I use multiple other weather and map apps without being forced sign up for an account or hand over sensitive personal data. My full name and personal email address are not required in order to view weather maps and forecasts online. I can just go onto apple weather, weather.com, NOAA, or similar resources. This is just another attempt to collect and sell peoples’ sensitive personal data. No thanks. I might be willing to consider it if they would let me anonymously use the app, but it doesn’t even allow for that.

Best Single Source
This is my go to app for weather information to plan daily outdoor activities. Everything you need to know, plus extras like smoke & snow depth.
