  1. [R2] My Epic 5/5 · US Helpful: This app shows me the best time for when I should go to the mountain. By saying the snow fall and what’s open. 🥹
  2. [R5] My Epic 5/5 · US Epic has been one of the only joys to my life: Epic makes my life so easier to go skiing and that’s my favorite thing. The app helps me know what trails to go on before I go on the mountains and shows me cool ideas to go for ski checks.
  3. [R7] 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.
  4. [R9] 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.
  5. [R6] My Epic 3/5 · US UI confusion: At the prompt: “Let’s unlock the stoke for your season”, it was not obvious to me that you needed to slide the lock. I thought I needed to type something in the field. I reinstalled the app to try to fix it! Suggestion: remove the useless lock-slide screen; I already logged in to get to it!
  6. [R10] My Epic 1/5 · US App: Terrible interface. Password doesn’t hold and then takes for forever to verify.
  7. [R1] My Epic 1/5 · US Pay me if you want me to do your marketing research for you: It’s so lame that you force paying customers to do your market research Pay me or stop asking me to do your job
  8. [R3] My Epic 3/5 · US Epic 5 day: Bad year, no recourse. Also, family medical emergency precluded skiing . I wish there were a way to defer or get credit for unused pass time. Even at some reasonable discount.
  9. [R4] My Epic 1/5 · US Shameful that this app is so bad: Vail resorts has had plenty of time to improve this app yet from the beginning to the current version it continues to be the worst app of any major entertainment out outdoor activity skiing biking app
  10. [R56] My Epic 1/5 · US Gypt: I paid 800$ for a half day of boarding. Sucks
  11. [R22] 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
  12. [R23] My Epic 5/5 · US Ease of Use: My Epic pass worked across the country with such ease of use at partner resorts. I loved the maps and updates features as well. Last year I had to cancel due to health conditions and the helpful and understanding staff I was able to get a full refund. This 25/26 season has been wonderful and I’m glad to be back!
  13. [R46] My Epic 1/5 · US Horrible app: The chat bot is completely wrong. Asks irrelevant questions. App quits for no reason. Impossible to navigate to cancel auto renew.
  14. [R67] Grand Mountain Adventure 1/5 · US Paid content lost: I love this game and I paid for the full version of it months ago, which came with most of the skins/costumes that they had. Since recent updates skins have been revoked from my account and now cost $5 to get back.. I just want the skins that I paid for. I’ve reported this twice and received no response.
  15. [R18] 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.
  16. [R39] My Epic 3/5 · US Used to love it: The GPS tracking was my favorite part of the app. I could see how far I rode and all my trails each day. This entire year my GPS hadn’t been working even after troubleshooting. Frustrating to say the least.
  17. [R64] Grand Mountain Adventure 1/5 · US Another one of “those”: Another stupidly deceiving game thats free to download, but to actually play anything past the tutorial you need to pay. An incredibly dishonest and manipulative practice
  18. [R69] Grand Mountain Adventure 3/5 · US Overall game: I would have rated this game a five out of five but I am so mad that you have to pay to get the full version, great graphics, physics, overall game but it is straight out ridiculous the the full game is 7 dollars, it still is a great game but cmon, just give it too us for free
  19. [R73] Grand Mountain Adventure 1/5 · US Worst Game: This game is the worst the only way you can actually play the game is by paying it’s so annoying especially because I played this games for a while thinking I would be able to unlock a new mountain, but the only way to actually unlock a mountain is by buying a pass, it is so stupid.
  20. [R82] Grand Mountain Adventure 2/5 · US Pay to Play: It’s great until you get into it then you can’t really progress without paying. Even after, there are options you can’t do without paying even more money.
  21. [R21] 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
  22. [R25] 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.
  23. [R81] Grand Mountain Adventure 3/5 · US Multiplayer doesn’t work: Did everything the game says still doesn’t work.
  24. [R120] Grand Mountain Adventure 3/5 · GB Great but multiplayer does not work: Bought this to play with daughter but there seems to be two issues. First I cannot see how you restore purchases. Secondly the Multiplayer does not work. We are sat next to each other on same Wi-Fi as advised and it won’t work.
