1. [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.
2. [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.
3. [R62] 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
4. [R68] 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
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. [R65] 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.
8. [R72] Slopes 3/5 · GB UI could be better: I find the UI quite confusing! Why are stats played out so weirdly?
9. [R10] Hiking and Skiing 2/5 · US Beautiful app, but.: Mac version is incredibly buggy, nearly impossible to use.
10. [R19] Hiking and Skiing 1/5 · US Use to be great!: Loved this app but now when you try to use it it tries to track your path and blocks the peaks identified with a bunch of stuff on the screen. Good-by.
11. [R61] Slopes 1/5 · US You lose your data is your watch dies: It’s so dumb. I’ve had many issues where Slopes stops recording or if the watch dies, you lose your whole day of stats. Done paying for it. It used to work, and no longer does.
12. [R67] Slopes 2/5 · US Interesting: I love the app and what it does but 50% of the time i click record and find that it stopped after a little bit.
13. [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.
14. [R37] Hiking and Skiing 1/5 · US Too much upselling: As a free app this is next to useless! Only one use per day! Disappointed is an understatement
15. [R69] Slopes 3/5 · US A little pay to use: A ton of the stuff is locked behind a paywall. It’s a great app if you’re willing to spend money. Otherwise, there’s only a few features; you can’t go back to view a replay or see your speed on different runs.
16. [R94] Slopes 1/5 · US APP Has Declined: I’ve used this app for years and the accuracy and features have always been great. Now, on the free version it only gives you basic data about you day and unable to view every run. I’ve also noticed it skips runs and does not record everything. Also, the speed is inaccurate and I am not paying for the upgrade. Bye bye.
17. [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.
18. [R100] Slopes 5/5 · US Great app and amazing customer service: I have used this app for almost year and a half, and it has been great, and have been able to record some awesome trips and events, but recently, I switched to anew phone, and it couldn’t get in, but the customer support helped me all along the way and helped me get in.
19. [R117] Slopes 1/5 · GB Premium does not work: I purchased a 6 day bundle, activated it, but none of the premium features work. I’ll be requesting a refund
20. [R49] Hiking and Skiing 1/5 · US Rip Off: So expensive. Standard issue pay $5 for nothing useful. $89 for the full app and the only version anyone would ever use. Don’t waste your money.
