ALL AVALANCHE INFORMATION AT YOUR FINGERTIPS We are obsessed about skiing! In fact we are so dedicated, that we had to build our own App, because we couldn't get the information we needed, when we needed it, while venturing into the backcountry. We built it for us, but we are happy to share it with you - even on a powder day! REGIONS Currently supported regions: Carinthia, Lower Austria, Upper Austria, Styria, Salzburg, Tyrol, Vorarlberg, Bavaria, Slovakia, South-Tyrol, Venetia, Norway, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Iceland, Trentino, Poland. SMART & SIMPLE DESIGN For us simplicity, reliability and efficiency are key on the mountain. We aimed at developing an app as clean and simple to use like your avalanche transceiver. OFFLINE CAPABILITY The only things you should worry about are weather and snow conditions, not if your phone has reception. Thats why SnowSafe does its best to sync the avalanche reports whenever possible. ALERTS Sometimes the conditions can change significantly even within a day. We have you covered and alert you when there is high risk or a new report is issued during the day. WEATHER The weather makes or breaks a trip to the mountains. That is why we included the most reliable mountain weather forecasts we could find. Premium-Weather is available as a monthly subscription. You can subscribe and pay through your iTunes account.

Seit dem letzten Update der App Ende November 2025 funktioniert die Aktualisierung der Lawinenberichte nicht mehr. ### 5/5 — Funktion wiederhergestellt *2025-02-24* Update lohnt sich, die Karte kann wieder angezeigt werden. Danke für den Fix. ### 5/5 — Problem mit Update *2025-02-10* Sehr gute App. Das neue Design macht das Handling noch angenehmer und flüssiger. Der Support ist außergewöhnlich. Schnelle Reaktion und „Leidenschaft“ ### 1/5 — Update macht die App unbrauchbar *2025-01-31* Leider ist die alte sehr gute APP nach dem Update unbrauchbar. Keine Kartenansicht möglich. Bitte nachbessern!!! ### 5/5 — Sinnvolle App *2022-02-09* Läuft wie es soll! Es wird nur andauernd von unten die Fehlermeldung 6777001 Setup failed eingeblendet ### 4/5 — Genial! aber leider nicht in CH und FR *2020-02-02* Der Titel der Bewertung sagt alles, die App ist genial, aber leider kann ich sie nun in CH nicht mehr nutzen und nächste Woche in FR wohl auch nicht. Hoffentlich bald... ### 4/5 — Bis jetzt ok *2019-11-26* Hallo, bis jetzt schaut die App ok aus, die Layerfehler wurden behoben so dass ich nun Knöpfe sehe. Zur Vorhersage kann ich noch nichts sagen da aktuell noch nicht überall Berichte verfügbar sind. Lediglich die Messung der Hangneigung funktioniert bei mir leider gar nicht oder ich stelle mich zu blöd an.... ### 1/5 — Vom wurden Fehler behoben *2019-11-26* Es funktioniert noch schlechter wie vorher ### 3/5 — Update jetzt ohne Wetterprognose *2019-01-08* Wer die kleine Wetterprognose dabei haben möchte, sollte nicht das neue Update runter laden. In der neuen App Kostet das Wetter 1,49€/ Monat. ### 5/5 — Super! *2015-06-19* Vollgepackt mit vielen nützlichen Features - super! ## Frequently asked questions about SnowSafe ### What regions does SnowSafe cover?
