1. [R1] OpenSnow 2/5 · US Bait and switcharoo with “All Access”: I enjoyed using OpenSnow and appreciated its pricing model for the All-Access subscription. However, OpenSnow cancelled the All-Access subscription and changed subscribers to their Base subscription and introduced a higher subscription, Premium. I didn’t appreciate being baited and switched to a subscription that was no longer fitting of the original name, so
2. [R6] OpenSnow 1/5 · US Used to be my favorite app: We’ve had the family plan since open snow first rolled it out and it was great. Slowly migrating all of the useful features away from something we were paying $90 a year for into something they want us to pay $180 a year for feels slimy and scammy. Especially when most of the map layers are re-skinned NWS products, and someone decided a few weeks ago to give the radar l
3. [R10] OpenSnow 1/5 · US Disappointed increased cost: Great app but are now charging too much, now you have to upgrade to get the services that were always standard before… had to debate renewal
4. [R16] OpenSnow 2/5 · GB In App upgrade gives you nothing more: I tried this app for the first time this season, but was immediately a little frustrated only getting 3 days forecast. I decided to upgrade, figuring the only thing it could expand was the length of forecast, but not only does it not do that, I’ve been unable to find anything at all that I get for my $18. Total rip off
5. [R3] OpenSnow 3/5 · US Meh: Moderate accuracy 60% of the time, wildly inaccurate 40%. Example: wolfcreek got 17” today (1APR26), open snow says 5”. Like i said: wildly inaccurate.
6. [R4] OpenSnow 1/5 · US AI Sellouts: Use to love this app until they started adding AI modeling and summaries that nobody asked for. Not to mention the forecasts beyond 5 days are a total fugazi. Yet another unserious company riding the hype train that's going to be the ruin of us all
7. [R8] OpenSnow 1/5 · US Ski Fomo Generator: Guess everyone is a super sick pow chaser now. This app has lied all year just to drive revenue for it’s business partners. The snowfall prediction maps are garbage and basically suggest that it will always be the sickest conditions ever in two weeks.
8. [R12] OpenSnow 1/5 · GB Terrible User interface: Genuinely one of the worst weather apps. Terrible clunky UI. Surprisingly difficult to find basic weather data over the next 24 hours. And the layout just makes no sense and is intentionally confusing. This app has a long way to go …
9. [R18] OpenSnow 1/5 · GB US only: Says it covers Europe, but when I try to register I need a US ZIP Code. When I checked some European resorts the data was woefully out of date and inaccurate. Useless
10. [R53] VPN by Private Internet Access 3/5 · US Very good vpn: I love the freedom that comes with using this vpn. easy to use interface and worth the premium subscription
11. [R55] VPN by Private Internet Access 5/5 · US Always returning: I have always returned to PIA. I’ll try others but keep returning because I think it’s quite simply the best.
12. [R57] VPN by Private Internet Access 4/5 · US Top VPN: Generally most reliable and easy to use
13. [R63] VPN by Private Internet Access 5/5 · US Private Internet Access is reliable: Set it and forget it
14. [R66] Slopes 5/5 · US Good app: For anyone who lives for the winter, the Slopes app isn’t just a piece of tech on your phone; it is the ultimate catalyst that completely alters how you experience the mountains. Before downloading it, a day of riding was just a blur of cold air and adrenaline, but the moment you start tracking, your entire relationship with the sport undergoes a massive shift. It injects a sense of purp
15. [R69] Slopes 5/5 · US Very good, easy to use: Slopes is very good at doing what it’s made to do which is tracking runs speed and vertical. Its support is very good and responded to my email in 15 minutes.
16. [R71] Slopes 5/5 · US Such a good app with so much potential: So I’m a ski racer, and I have used this app this year after some recommendations from friends, and wow! It has everything I need, like speed, and I can see where my friends are on the hill. Some things that could be added to help make it a better experience, would be to add photos for when your on a trip, so that everybody can share photos, make it so there
17. [R74] Slopes 5/5 · US Thank you Slopes: Shapes is so awesome I used it in Park City,UT and it helped he find were everyone is because it is such a big mountain it is really amazing to have slopes ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
18. [R80] NOAA Radar & Weather Forecast 4/5 · US No Radar: Nothing loaded on map except for ads begging for subscriptions for more stuff. Sux.
19. [R81] NOAA Radar & Weather Forecast 3/5 · US I don’t need the push notifications: Push notifications are REQUIRED for this app. I don’t need them if I study the radar map. Allow me to look at the radar map without getting tons of notifications on my phone. ☹️
20. [R82] NOAA Radar & Weather Forecast 1/5 · US Want Money: Want money free spa are better!
21. [R84] NOAA Radar & Weather Forecast 3/5 · US Too many ads: Too many ads. Always wanting money
22. [R93] OnTheSnow Ski & Snow Report 1/5 · US Wildly innacurate: Will say 11+ inches when the resort itself is predicting 3 inches. ?? Unreliable, better off with other sources
23. [R94] OnTheSnow Ski & Snow Report 4/5 · US Love the app!: Love the app use it religiously in the winter season! Easy to use. The only reason I’m giving 4/5 stars is because frequently I wake up at 4am to go ski and the report for the day is sometimes updated for the day and sometimes not. For example this morning 1/6/26 at 4:15am I checked to see if my favorite Colorado resorts got any snow. Nothing. Then rechecked the app after seeing a F
24. [R97] OnTheSnow Ski & Snow Report 4/5 · US Maps and stuff: I enjoy using the app but a lot of features seems to be limited to the website. I feel it would be super useful to have an interactive map that you can click on to find resorts by state/region/country. For me, if I want to plan a trip and find the best option for either a solo or family trip I still have to visit the website. To me this seems like an easy fix.
25. [R98] OnTheSnow Ski & Snow Report 3/5 · US Work well, but spams: Dos what you want it to do. Gives you a succinct view of conditions at your resorts. Will send you spam notifications though.
26. [R116] Unicorn HTTPS 5/5 · US Https: Helped us immediately quickly and with an outstanding product
27. [R117] Unicorn HTTPS 5/5 · US Works Great!: This app works great I have on an iPad running OS 12.5.8 and I’m able to get it on it and it’s completely free love and keep up the good work guys
28. [R2] OpenSnow 5/5 · US My Go To Weather App: Open Snow has become outstanding. I don't even look at anything else anymore. You guys seem to have thought of everything. The information is spot on. I'm still learning all the nuances, but the more I use it the more impressed I become. Thx!
29. [R5] OpenSnow 5/5 · US Info dense: The detail and depth of this app is unsurpassed. Raw NOAA forecasts may be the only deeper source.
30. [R11] OpenSnow 5/5 · US Great Forecasts!: I am a pro ski patroller in Wyoming. I use Open Snow regularly. Good accurate weather forecasting. Really nice site as it is totally geared towards skiers. I don’t think you can find a better resource for powder and big dumps. Great maps and localized forecasts. Highly recommend!
31. [R15] OpenSnow 5/5 · US My daily winter obsession: This app is incredible, addicting in the best way. I found myself checking it multiple times a day this winter and it got me to ski more. The reports from top meteorologists are great at laying out what is to come.
32. [R17] OpenSnow 5/5 · US Best Long Term Forecast Discussions: OpenSnow forecasters provide such clear, concise and extensive overviews of broader weather patterns (eg El Niño, ridges & troughs across the hemisphere) and how those larger patterns relate to local forecasts. They choose great charts to illustrate and write in a way that makes sense to forecast lay-people.
33. [R106] OnTheSnow Ski & Snow Report 5/5 · US Awesome app!: Awesome app. I don’t see what all the negative reviews are for,this app is free no mo/yr charges. I used to be a big skier back in the 70’s early 80’s ( New England)not any more. I still like to keep up with the resorts and weather. The snowfall, weather and cams makes this app. I would add three things to update this app. 1) add an iPad app 2) Have an app sign in to sync all yo
34. [R75] Slopes 4/5 · US A great app it tracks your speed: I use this to track my speed going down the mountain to see how much I improve my ski skills
35. [R78] Slopes 5/5 · US Great app: Amazing app, great tracking and has tons of good stats and info. Supports so many places and has weather and friend support.
