Refund my $2.99

Used this at Vail for a group of us to help us locate individual members of the group while skiing in case we became separated. After setting it up correctly which was fairly straightforward, we put it to the test against Strava. Unfortunately, it was completely off in the number of runs, distance and verticals. We all skied together but each of us got significantly different values. Strava seemed much more accurate. And most importantly, it did not work well helping us locate different members of the group. For example, while the seven of us were eating lunch together, one person was still geo located on a ski trail until about 45 minutes into the meal. Hard to recommend this app.

Good app

Needs to be updated for 2023

Resolution

Colors wash in sunlight and types of eyewear.
Contrast needs improving.

Have to give access to contacts

That is such a bummer that you must give access to your contacts to use the app. You don’t get to skip that option.

Limited resorts

Beware before buying it works at your ski resort(s). Useless for my midwest area.
