- [R9] My Epic 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.
- [R18] My Epic 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.
- [R62] Slopes 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
- [R68] Slopes 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
- [R6] My Epic 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!
- [R10] My Epic App: Terrible interface. Password doesn’t hold and then takes for forever to verify.
- [R65] Slopes 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.
- [R72] Slopes UI could be better: I find the UI quite confusing! Why are stats played out so weirdly?
- [R58] My Epic GPS: app gps tracking never works only stat i ever get is number of lifts . this function used to work couple years back
- [R40] My Epic Great app when it works: App is great when it works but often it refuses to let me log in to my Epic account.
- [R67] Slopes 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.
- [R85] Slopes GPS??: Don’t get it!! What happened to the GPS tracking recently??? Nothing like skiing all morning just to have nothing recorded. Could zero stars apply?
- [R69] Slopes 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.
- [R76] Slopes Free tier loses even more features: They recently took away the route replay feature for free users which is so lame.
- [R94] Slopes 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.
- [R115] Slopes The free version has almost nothing on it: No map, no tracking, don't think I will bother using it again
- [R3] My Epic 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.
- [R100] Slopes 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.
- [R117] Slopes 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
- [R1] My Epic 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
