### 5/5 — Awesome for snow makers!

*2024-12-18, version 3.1.1*

This app is great! Simple interface that tells you exactly what you want to know for making snow at home! Even better is it works with my tempest weather station to provide exact location specific data!

### 5/5 — Simple and Easy to Use

*2023-12-08, version 3.1.1*

Great functionality with no unnecessary bloat. Perfect for a quick check to plan for snow making conditions.

### 5/5 — Great App Updated 9.2021

*2021-09-23, version 3.0*

Great app that has been fixed and updated! Thanks !

### 3/5 — I used to love it.

*2019-03-13, version 2.1*

Used to be the best app for making snow or even just seeing what the temp is. Iv had the app for years but now it wont open just crashes right away same as snowmaker pro just useless.

### 5/5 — My goto app for planning snow

*2019-02-01, version 2.1*

I love this app. It gives quick answers to the two most important questions: how good of snow and for how long can I make it. I live in the southeast when it's rare we have a cold enough and dry enough night to make snow so this helps me plan. 

My suggestion for improvement is to either alert me a few hours before it's a good time to make snow if a certain threshold is met. A time(hours) and quantity (wet vs dry) input would let me pick when to be alerted.

### 1/5 — Issue after update

*2017-12-12, version 2.1*

App closes right after opening.  App is not useful at the moment.

### 2/5 — Unsure

*2016-01-05, version 1.4*

My hand held wetbulb thermometer disagrees with this app.  Something is not being taken in consideration with the humidity.

### 2/5 — Not great

*2015-10-17, version 1.4*

Good for the fun usage but for actually making snow this does not have the correct Thermo calculations

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2015-04-13, version 1.3*

Displays wind, wet bulb, dry bulb, everything needed for snowmaking. 

Thanks

### 5/5 — Great for midwest skiers!

*2014-12-25, version 1.1*

I live in Minnesota and there is little natural snow this year and we depend on manmade snow. This app is simple and awesome for keeping a pulse on when local resorts can make snow. Thanks for making this app!
