User reviews

Pretty good

I use this app all the time. However I am making a review in hopes that some issues are fixed.

Number one, the “mountain weather forecast” page literally never shows the U of U weather model plumes, and now I am unable to find them on the U Atmospheric Science website as well, so I am at a loss. It would be very nice to view these updated charts within the app as it used to work.

Number two, the “snow report” icon underneath the “weather” menu does not work at all. It unfortunately seems like things are moving along in time and the developers off this app are not keeping up. Would be great if someone fixed these issues :)) I love this app otherwise

Useful and adequate

It’s nothing special— just a skin of the website— but it is useful to have one-click access. The more readily available this information is and the easier it is to find and interpret, the safer we all are.

Update broke mountain weather page

After installing the December2018 update, the mountain weather page no longer loads.

Was nice...now doesn’t work

App no longer works with my current phone.

Good God

I don't mind this app but can you add some freaking padding to the text cause it gets cut off and it's really irritating to read.
