What reviewers actually said

1. [R11] Hiking and Skiing 5/5 · US Wow, just wow!: I just tried this new app up in the Eastern Sierra and I am speechless. It, in combination with Gaia, are going to open new hiking routes that i never imagined. Freedom.
2. [R14] Hiking and Skiing 5/5 · US Just right: This is the best functioning AR peak/summit app as far as reliability and horizon accuracy. It also has a great suite of navigation and history keeping features; being able to plan routes, save your tracks and trips, and leave reviews and check ins all works well together.
3. [R75] My Epic 3/5 · US Awkwardly incomplete: The Find My friend option is great. What blows my mind as I can’t get a weather report/forecast. I can get a description of how the conditions were in the past but nothing about the future. That’s even remotely accurate. It would be awesome to be able to look at all the epic mountains and know which one had the best snow for the next couple days. For some reason that’s not o
4. [R67] My Epic 1/5 · US Poor functionality: Add a mileage tracker and a GPS speedometer, add a stay logged in option, I’m sick of having to log back in constantly. Make the facial recognition option actually work. This app is useless. I use a separate ski app because this one is no good.
5. [R1] Hiking and Skiing 1/5 · US Too complicated: Very hard to just do the simplest thing like going from point A to Point B and following it. Can not figure it out yet
6. [R6] Hiking and Skiing 3/5 · US Searching could use work: Navigating and searching in general is somewhat difficult. It only has peak names, and not all of them and doesn’t list county, or even state. So for common named peaks, there are many results and it’s not obvious which one is being referred to. And then navigating around in the immersive map, you can’t zoom or move very quickly, so it’s hard to orient yourself. For exam
7. [R70] My Epic 1/5 · US App: Terrible interface. Password doesn’t hold and then takes for forever to verify.
8. [R81] My Epic 3/5 · US Works but annoying: Does the app developer or Vail marketing even know what skiing is?? Why does the app wipe out my login credentials every two weeks or so?? This is so asinine, my banks don’t even do this. This app is horrible with fingerprint login. And if you can’t remember your password, the app locks you out after a few tries. When the app works it’s fun. When it doesn’t, I want to throw m
9. [R10] Hiking and Skiing 2/5 · US Beautiful app, but.: Mac version is incredibly buggy, nearly impossible to use.
10. [R28] Hiking and Skiing 2/5 · US barely works: would be way cooler if it was accurate. it can barely properly outline and label the mountains, it’s completely off. it’ll outline a “mountain” in the completely wrong spot and it’ll just be an outline in the sky. i paid $30 for this just for it to never work. I’d look for other apps that work properly
11. [R96] My Epic 3/5 · US Buggy still: Every time I open this app I receive an error message "something went wrong on our end, we're working to fix it" they should probably fix that after all these years. Even basics are messed up like Stowe. It shows 156 trails total count when they only have 116-117? Why??? Doesn't track half of your stats and doesn't track at all at some mountains. Randomly likes to log out mid ski day
12. [R109] My Epic 2/5 · US Very disappointed with your app: The Epic app is extremely disappointing. It doesn’t even consistently track my snowboarding stats. Usually, it doesn’t chart my distance on the slopes at all, which would greatly enhance my experience. I don’t understand why your app is so subpar. The technology’s available. You are a billion or multi-million dollar corporation. We live in a digital world. And your
13. [R9] Hiking and Skiing 3/5 · US Far from perfect: For $30/year, you would think it could identify Ben Nevis when you’re looking right at it. After all, it is the tallest munro in the British isles.
14. [R31] Hiking and Skiing 1/5 · US A subscription model for this app is insane: Insanely priced. Make it a single purchase. This isn’t an app that warrants a subscription.
15. [R73] My Epic 2/5 · US Annoying to buy an epic pass: When trying to buy the epic pass, it doesn't work in the website or app, and you have to call in to purchase it.
16. [R58] Hiking and Skiing 5/5 · US Great app!: I love this app! It is quick and easy to use and gives detailed info either in real time or with photos. Tech support is awesome and gives one to one service. Recently had a bug and the support was tenacious and persistent in figuring out the problem. I highly recommend.
17. [R82] My Epic 1/5 · US Garbage: This app completely sucks. It wouldn’t let me link my pass to my pre-existing account with all of my stats on it. The only option was to make a new one to get the pass but I couldn’t use the same phone number twice. I tried deleting my old account but they wouldn’t even let me do that 🤣. I submitted a request to delete the account and it never came through to delete. Get a grip epic I wan
