View streamlined, up-to-date avalanche and weather forecasts for your selected zone, use offline caching, and submit observations on the go. All the info and functionality you want at your fingertips.
Key functionalities:
- Streamlined Trip Planning: With a simple tap, you can access the avalanche forecast, weather forecast, weather stations, and zone-specific observations. To minimize scrolling, forecast components are collapsible, and navigating between zones is easy.
- Offline Caching: The mountains don’t always provide a strong signal, so Avy has integrated offline caching. Even when you're off the grid, you have access to forecasts, weather data and observations you previously viewed.
- Observation Submission: Our forecasters rely on your feedback, and contributing to your community by submitting observations has never been easier. Offline caching allows you to submit your observation without connectivity and it’ll automatically upload when you get back to service.
- Weather Data Optimization: Checking weather station data is crucial for understanding what you’ll find when you get to the mountains. With Avy, it’s easy to select your weather station and tease out the information you’re looking for.
We've added the ability to view videos in observations, avalanche observations, and forecasts as well as bug fixes and stability improvements.
