  1. [R1] 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
  2. [R2] 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
  3. [R7] OnTheSnow Ski & Snow Report 1/5 · US What is going on with the accuracy: The info provided in the app is inaccurate. Doesn’t make it very useful if I have to double check everything using other weather tools and cross check on individual resort websites.
  4. [R8] OnTheSnow Ski & Snow Report 5/5 · US Informative: My go to site for powder hounding.
  5. [R5] 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.
  6. [R11] OnTheSnow Ski & Snow Report 5/5 · US Quick information: Great app for what I need to know.
  7. [R18] OnTheSnow Ski & Snow Report 3/5 · US Sorting Issue: This is a strong app for skiing, but the old version was better. You need the ability to sort by snowfall and base depth instead of scrolling through every mountain manually. I could write an RPA process but who has time for that. The Ikon app is better.
  8. [R4] OnTheSnow Ski & Snow Report 1/5 · US Very unstable and buggy app.: Pages appear blank or freeze randomly.
  9. [R13] OnTheSnow Ski & Snow Report 1/5 · US Not working: Not working. I am not able to find any ski resort.
  10. [R17] OnTheSnow Ski & Snow Report 4/5 · US Snow before you go needs fixed.: Great app, love the “snow before you go” weather by Chris Tomer, but lately you can’t read it. Won’t work on the app or website, it opens up but closes down within seconds. Please fix!!!
  11. [R19] OnTheSnow Ski & Snow Report 1/5 · US Way behind: The app used to be awesome, but it’s so far behind and sometimes doesn’t even load
  12. [R9] OnTheSnow Ski & Snow Report 3/5 · US Incomplete: Does not include any of the 24 ski areas in Greece
  13. [R10] OnTheSnow Ski & Snow Report 2/5 · US Inaccurate trail reports: Interface is easy to use which is great, but the reports of how many trials / lifts are open do not match the mountains websites. It should be updating in real-time in order to ensure correct info.
  14. [R12] OnTheSnow Ski & Snow Report 3/5 · US Temps aren’t accurate: …Nor are the snowfall amounts. I like that readers can submit photos. Celsius sponsorship means nothing when it’s not broadly available at most of these resorts. And, where some flavor Dan he found, it’s an after thought in the way it’s merchandised.
  15. [R6] 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.
  16. [R16] OnTheSnow Ski & Snow Report 1/5 · US Too many cookies: I am canceling because the app will not let me opt out of cookies. It is letting Amazon collect info. Get on the right side of peoples rights! Too bad, I like the app for the most part. I would rather pay for the app than allow third party cookies.
  17. [R22] OnTheSnow Ski & Snow Report 1/5 · US Ad implementation is an abomination that makes the app unusable: Used to enjoy and rely on this app, but it’s now FREQUENTLY opening ads in Safari, seemingly at random. I understand being ad supported, but this crosses a line into outright user hostile.
  18. [R25] OnTheSnow Ski & Snow Report 2/5 · US Great app but annoying bug made it unusable: This has been my go-to app for monitoring snow conditions across several ski resorts in the US and around the world. However, as of the last update, I now get a browser pop up every single time I try to interact with a resort’s page. I hope this gets fixed but until then, use something else.
  19. [R15] OnTheSnow Ski & Snow Report 3/5 · US Inaccurate Forecasting: The forecasting was consistently significantly off from what was predicted, despite other apps having the same data but more accuracy.
  20. [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.
  21. [R69] My Epic 3/5 · US GPS Tracking: The app is easy to use. The GPS tracking is limited. It does not report your max or average speed. The distance appears to include the lift ride. It also doesn’t track the total time on the hills.
  22. [R78] My Epic 3/5 · US Okay for nav, not great at tracking: Always had high hopes for this app to be better than Ikon but no such luck. Oh well - something to work on. Tracking not so good; often times doesn’t log my distance or location.
  23. [R93] My Epic 3/5 · US Good App: I love the app and it is useful but lately, it wont let me stop the gps tracking. Every other button works except the stop tracking button. I have closed out the app and tried again. I have restarted my phone. At a loss here.
  24. [R33] OnTheSnow Ski & Snow Report 3/5 · US Too many messages notifications not of interest: Gods reports, but too many messages notifications not of interest
  25. [R70] My Epic 1/5 · US App: Terrible interface. Password doesn’t hold and then takes for forever to verify.
  26. [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
  27. [R85] My Epic 2/5 · US Kicked out: If I don't use the app for a week or more it makes you sign back in--- this is an annoying problem with an app that shouldn't be that hard to navigate.
