**** Avalanche Risk Bulletins **** To help you plan your itinerary, you can find the Avalanche Bulletins for your favorite American, French, Swiss, Austrian and Italian regions. These are updated as soon as they are published. Find the widgets so the Avalanche Bulletins show up on the home page of your smartphone. **** NEO BT PRO **** The ARVA app has been designed as a support tool for our NEO BT PRO, as it allows users to configure their device. The tool has various options, such as fine search distance, Standby mode time or an alarm to tell you your device has been on for too long. You can also choose between digital or analog sound when in digital mode. **** Update and diagnostics**** Carry out maintenance of your transceiver directly in the app via Bluetooth. **** Training**** The ARVA app also has a training function, as it includes our Snow Safety Program. You can use the app to open or revise basic theory on avalanche safety. **** Group Check**** The “Group Check” section helps you understand and, more importantly, master the Group Check procedure. You will find a detailed users’ guide in the app. **** Search training**** Use our “SEARCH” section to practice searching for burials. You can do this while connected, thanks to the NEO BT PRO and fleet management, or more simply using any other device. You can perform search training with single burials or multiple burial situations. This program provides very realistic training. **** Preparing for a trip **** The app has a “Trip” tab which includes a checklist to make sure you don’t forget anything when preparing for your trip. The checklist is comprehensive, from a review of your itinerary to the food you will need. Find other features in our ARVA app.
Workotrack
Read full descriptionHide full description
Workotrack puts everyone in an endurance event on one live map. Taking part? Enter the code your organiser gave you, turn sharing on at the start, and put your phone away. Your position appears on the event's map until you stop or the event's window closes, which it does on its own. Watching? The people following you need no account and no app. They open a link and see every participant on the course, how far each has come, and roughly when to expect them at the finish. WHAT IT DOES - Live positions on the event's own course, not a dot in a field beside the road - Distance covered and distance left, because every position is matched to the route - Finish estimates that account for the climbs ahead rather than an average pace - A Live Activity on your lock screen and in the Dynamic Island while you ride - Battery settings from most accurate to most economical, so a long day still ends with a phone that works FOR ORGANISERS Create an event at workotrack.com, upload the course as a GPX or TCX file, and share the join code. Spectators get one link that works for everyone. PRIVACY Sharing is per event and per participant. Location is recorded only while you have sharing turned on, only inside the window the organiser set, and it stops by itself when that window closes. You can turn it off at any time, and deleting your account removes your position history with it. Workotrack is not official timing, and it is not safety equipment. Positions come from consumer phone GPS and mobile coverage, both of which have gaps.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Workotrack at none against ARVA's shown. Workotrack also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months). ARVA's advantage is iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.4). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
