The main reason I downloaded it was to check trail reports before I set out on my skiing adventures :) **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback! ### 5/5 — Must-have for Nordic Skiers! *2019-12-31* If you are a Nordic skier, this app is a must!

I recommend it to all my Nordic skiing friends! ### 5/5 — Very useful *2019-12-31* This app is great for getting to know new trails. It’s also like yelp, but for skiing, letting you rate the quality of your experience! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No longer works *2024-11-13, version 2.9.1* This app doesn’t work with iPhone 12. It doesn’t appear to be supported anymore. When you click on a trail, all you get is a white screen. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2022-12-17, version 2.8.1* Map loads fine, clicking on any Nordic center loads a blank screen. Tried dozens of times and can’t get it to work ### 1/5 — Useless *2021-01-24, version 2.6.0* No trails found in upstate Ny even though There are probably hundreds ### 1/5 — No trails/ info in NM or CO😥 *2020-01-20, version 1.0.5* Thought this app would be great but you have nothing in NM or Colorado! ### 1/5 — Not a huge fan. *2019-12-31* It won’t show trails in my area where I live in eau claire WI it seems like it mainly towards Minnesota people. When it says create a new trail it won’t let you type in the box. I just wish it would show trails better in my area and the state of Wisconsin. I hope they can fix these issues. **Developer response:** Hello, Thank you for the feedback! I've gone through and fixed the textbox bug that is appearing throughout the app. If you find more bugs in the future I set up a form where you can submit them and they'll get fixed. Check it out here: https://skiwise.typeform.com/to/sJeRsA ### 2/5 — The app needs a lot of UI and UX work *2021-01-28, version 2.6.0* The app is a little hard to use and clunky in terms of UI and UX. ### 2/5 — No trails *2020-12-30, version 2.3.0* I submitted a trail report, but nothing there. There are no trails in Montana, but we actually have a lot of Nordic trails. ### 3/5 — Display name and location issues *2025-02-18* Couldn’t get display name entered because it said I didn’t follow the naming guidelines. Then when I tried to change it to follow the guidelines, it kept reverting back to the previous non-working name. Also kept changing location to Minnesota and doesn’t have a “my location” button. ### 3/5 — Fantastic resource but could use a few tweaks *2023-01-05* Thanks so much for this! I use it often as a skier and a groomer. The first recommendation I would make is to change the geolocation of the user. When I am away from my normal trails the app automatically geolocates me which is awkward to go back to my home trails. This even happens when I’m just trying to read a trail report. Second, I would change the description terms on the reports to more simple ones: hard packed, snow covered, debris, etc. allow us to pick a few. Thanks so much! ### 3/5 — Sign up issue fixed *2020-02-08* Signup issue fixed. Content limited but may improve with more users. **Developer response:** Hello, This was a bug accidentally introduced in the most recent version of the app. I just uploaded a revised version where this issue is now fixed. Please let me know what you think. If you have any more issues send us feedback via our typeform form and we'll fix it ASAP: https://skiwise.typeform.com/to/sJeRsA ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Notifications *2025-12-24* I hope notifications of trail reports returns. ### 5/5 — Fantastic trail reports *2025-01-12* I love this app and encourage Nordic skiers to use and submit trail reports. The more users, the better this will get!! ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-01-08, version 2.13.0* Best app going trail conditions. Don’t be afraid to add your trail reports ### 5/5 — Needs time and more members great resource *2022-12-31* It has all the parts it just needs active members and more snow ### 5/5 — Love it! *2022-11-22* This app always helps me choose where to ski and gets me out skiing when I see people posting that the trails are perfect! Any app that gets me skiing is a winner for me. ### 5/5 — Nice app for Xc *2022-02-13* When you get a notification of a new review and click on it… It does not take you to the review… You have to navigate there yourself… Which is kind of a pain but I soon will get fixed before long… Otherwise, easy to use and useful for planning. ### 5/5 — Fantastic, easy to use app! Better than Skinny Ski! *2021-12-30* Finding a good source to get ski trail reports these days is hard! Skiwise is the best out there! Very easy to use and find trail reports in the area. Much better than Skinny Ski! ### 5/5 — Supper good vary excited for more people to start using *2021-11-22* Please add the other ski locations in anchorage Like Russian jacks hill top and Bartlett HS trails ### 5/5 — Grand *2021-01-12* Real cracker of a app, easy to use!!! Will only get better as more people add to the reports to keep us all updated on the trails. Would much rather use this than look at tons of trails reports to places not close to me. Just tap on the tails you want and get dem answers!!! ### 5/5 — Moonlight *2020-12-28* Thanks for Skiwise - a great source of timely information on ski trail conditions. Suggestions to consider for trail reports - add in options for skiers to add “moonlight” and “overcast”, and maybe temperature range, wind speed and direction? --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
