Ratings and Reviews
Great app
This is definitely the best looking ski/snowboard tracking app. I love the social media aspect of this app, it really brings my friends and family together!
Although it's my favorite skiing app there are a few improvements. I'm not sure the max speed is as accurate as others. I don't have any proof at the moment, but I plan on testing this next time I go up to the mountains, and compare it to Ski Tracks.
Another simple and cool idea would be leaderboards amongst friends. I don't care too much about my overall standings as long as I am beating my friends :).
When it comes to the map for a particular run, it's pretty cool with the color coding, but a legand would be nice, is red or green fast?
This one might be a stretch, but I would also love for you to have a "king of the mountain" where each run has a best time and you could compete with friends. People could add KOM stretches on a mountain and it would keep track of the fastest people to ride that section of the mountain. Maybe you could do KOM for each run and then when looking back at your runs it would tag all the KOM stretches you hit while going down.
This app is so close to being great
There are two big issues with it. One, it doesn’t write “active energy” to the apple health app but it does write “workouts”. What this means is that you will close your green exercise ring several times over but the activity app will basically read your day of skiing as a brisk walk. You may not close your pink move ring depending on what your daily goal is. Other workout apps do this and it’s great. Snoww calculates it and you can see your active calories in the health app but it doesn’t write it and it doesn’t count toward closing your ring.
The second issue is that it starts randomly. I’ll start the app on my first ride up the mountain and frequently I already have a 23 hour session going. There isn’t a way to discard or cancel a session and so the quickest way is to kill the app on your watch and your phone without closing the workout session and then start a new session from your phone. It’s a pain.
Other than those two issues, the app is great.
I write this as an update drops
The app was just updated moments ago, but my review will stand for a bit.
“It’s been one helluva ride, but the ride stops here. The snow app was great, better in some ways than slopes, but it’s now long neglected. I’ve exported my data and, unless I see some kind of update for this app, this is the end for me. I thank the developer for all the obvious hard work that went into creating this app. It helped me set goal, ride harder and have more fun than ever before. I’d love to see the snow accumulation stats and the temperature stats fixed. I’d love to see the leaderboard filters to allow saving of filter settings, and I like to see the end of “follow this pro rider who doesn’t even use the app” messages. Let’s get rid of that altogether. Following pros is lame. Riding is what drives us. Anyway. Thanks. The last three years have been insane”
