What reviewers actually said

Built only from these 120 real reviews (foreign ones translated). Superscripts jump to the quote here. Apple has no per-review links, so [ref] opens that app's reviews on the App Store.

  1. [R1] Ikon Pass 1/5 · US No trail maps???: The app seems to have removed the ability to view trail maps at Palisades, at least in the offseason, replacing it with only their awful “3D” map that you could get a better version of in any other all-purpose mapping app. The only thing I used this app for was trail maps. Is this someone’s idea of a joke?
  2. [R4] Ikon Pass 1/5 · US Snow report is trash: They ruined the weather forecasting on the squaw app, these people in charge are absolute clowns
  3. [R9] Ikon Pass 3/5 · US Meh - has gotten worse: This app used to be so perfect. Maybe two years ago was the peak? This year is the worst it’s been. Generally not a helpful app anymore other than friend tracking. It’s no longer intuitive. It’s clunky and hard to figure out. I would like to easily access the snow report, maps, and other relevant info for a ski mountain but I feel like the stuff is either not there anymore
  4. [R62] Ski Utah Snow Report 5/5 · US Great app for great resorts: All the best of Utah powder condensed into one website. Easy to navigate and provides solid information and up to date snow reports.
  5. [R10] Ikon Pass 2/5 · US Ikon pass app review: The latest UI is complete garbage. The previous UI was bad and you somehow made it worse. There is literally no way to renew my pass on the app. I tap one of the buttons to renew, then choose the pass, and I go to some weird renew page that’s trying to sell me on the pass. Bro! I already said I wanted it, why are you trying to sell me it!? Then I’m somehow on step 1 of 5 and
  6. [R12] Ikon Pass 3/5 · US Do better: The app was never perfect and that’s okay. This season with the new updates it sucks. I minored in graphic design an I can’t figure out how to stop tracking let alone navigate the app. You have good data but get someone who can build your UI
  7. [R21] Ikon Pass 1/5 · US Don’t expect much: Where do I start…. What a frustrating app! I had it open from a day earlier, and said it was still tracking, but it wasn’t. Lost an entire day of stats. Need to blow away the app. Each night. And be prepared to login again each time, particularly frustrating when you’re all geared up and it won’t recognize your face. And don’t get me started when it won’t start tracking becaus
  8. [R74] Ski Utah Snow Report 5/5 · US Super app!!!: Easy to use, easy to read - this is going to make our trip in early April so much better!!!
  9. [R19] Ikon Pass 2/5 · US Tracking is buggy: Many times I have started the day with tracking on only to find mid day that it failed to collect any stats. Only fix seems to be force quit app and restart.
  10. [R27] Ikon Pass 2/5 · US Unreliable: Tracking works only when the app feels like it. About 1 day out of 4 it decides I’m not “authorized” to track. And before you ask, my iPhone is always up to date. The app is (still) simply not good enough for prime time.
  11. [R41] Ikon Pass 1/5 · US Update: Once updated, it killed tracking. Very disappointing. Tried tracking on Steamboat app 1st 2 days of the season. That didn’t work. Found out later that had to use Ikon app. Then, yesterday I was forced to update the app. Once updated any attempt to track told me I was not a registered user. 👎
  12. [R61] Ski Utah Snow Report 2/5 · US Degraded not updates: I used to love this app, easy to see all the snowfalls and resort info, the new update is wonky and hard to read, deleted it.
  13. [R13] Ikon Pass 1/5 · US Price Increases are Crazy: Pass goes up every year and they reduce your renewal discounts every year. Used to be $100 now it’s $25…
  14. [R68] Ski Utah Snow Report 5/5 · US Go to source: The most thorough, complete, accurate and useful app for knowing just about anything and everything to do with skiing in Utah. This is the one source you need.
  15. [R85] Ski Utah Snow Report 5/5 · US Great app: Direct access to website and webcams. An everyday used app during winter.
  16. [R53] Ikon Pass 1/5 · US Unreliable: This app is complete trash. All it is more advertising for the company that is Ikon. The tracking function has failed on me multiple times. The weather functions are not updated frequently the information they provide is never accurate, the webcams never show anything. Ive tried to be a good sport about the these behemoth companies buying up every damn piece of the land with a hill on
  17. [R60] Ikon Pass 1/5 · US Unable to get tracking to work: The pass itself is fine; first year I have used it . However, the app does not appear to do anything useful. I can get the better information on conditions directly from the resorts websites, and cannot get tracking and stats to work at all on my iPhone. Apparently the app is not requesting to use location services and I have not been able to activate location sh
