Avalanche Lab 4+

A little buggy, crashes here and there, but a great way to generate pit profiles. Appears to be fully SWAG compliant - I use my notebook in the field and then transfer the data back home. Some great features, has a load of potential for networked observation sharing. Has all the tools you need - clinometer, crystal card, and location. I'd consider using this instead of a notebook, but wet iPhone screens can be a pain and its still a little buggy for me to shed my analog ways.

If you're a Level 2 backcountry enthusiast or a snow geek, this is a great tool to have in your quiver!

I'm so happy I found this app! It's perfect for recording snowpit data and crown profiles. I love this because my handwriting is the worst. Outside in wet weather my notebook is beyond the worst. This keeps the system organized. Thanks for developing this app. Only one tweak that would set me into total snow geek nirvana: integrate the camera, compass and clinometer into the camera feature similar to what the Utah Avalanche center app uses. Having angle, aspect and elevation overlayed on the picture is wicked awesome. However as it is, it is totally usable as a notebook replacement. I'm stoked to use this!

I'm giving 4 stars relative to the cost of the Pro version which is pretty high. For the price I expect an amazing app with no functional hitches. This app almost there.

I'm still not convinced that it's a replacement for my field book. So far I'm using both in parallel. Maybe with a bit more practice I could enter my observations directly but it still doesn't have the trip planning area that's in a field book.

I've emailed questions to the developer and the response time was very prompt.
