  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. [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
  8. [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.
  9. [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!
  10. [R24] My Epic 3/5 · US Awesome sometimes: The layout is fine the options are fine but only works sometimes. The find my friends had to delete and reconnect 6+ times over 3 days, recorded elevation but not miles. Would be 5 stars if it worked.
  11. [R33] 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.
  12. [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
  13. [R13] My Epic 2/5 · US Annoying to buy an epic pass: When trying to buy the epic pass, it doesn't work in the website or app, and you have to call in to purchase it.
  14. [R17] My Epic 5/5 · US Thanks for your service: Epic really knows how to say, “Thank you for your service.” The discount is such that it doesn’t take much to get my money’s worth. Thanks to you, Epic.
  15. [R20] My Epic 5/5 · US Vail Resident: I would like to see a east vail and west vail home owner discount. If you actually live in the vail city area that we get a discount on Epic pass . I would also like to see maybe something similar for the higher end restaurants,shops, and hotels around vail village and lions head that stay open in the summer months. I know we support them all year round be great to get a discount ev
  16. [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
  17. [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.
  18. [R87] Snowboard Party 3/5 · US Really fun game but no CS: Really fun gameplay. You don’t have to pay to play this game but they have a few optional purchases for experience points. I bought the one for $10 so that I could have a better snowboarder but found that three of the areas that were supposed to unlock by finishing the other runs, with four out of five objectives met, weren’t unlocking and I had to use some of the exp po
  19. [R61] Snowboard Party 1/5 · US Gold diggers!: Used to play this when I was younger and everything was free and now I have to pay 25 dollars!!! I hate company’s who try to juice its players for money
  20. [R64] Snowboard Party 1/5 · US Bad: I played one level and I cant do anymore without paying. Instant delete
  21. [R73] Snowboard Party 1/5 · US Avoid app! - Ads promote hate/ racism & explicit sexual scam ads: There are sexual, inappropriate ads along with ads promoting hate and racism. Game used to be good, but it’s filled with explicit ad garbage. Do not have your kids play this game, it’ll taint them. Game has become pay to play, no longer fun and spend about 90% of time watching ads. Better to play a run, close the app as soon as an
  22. [R80] Snowboard Party 4/5 · US It’s great but one thing: One thing you have to unlock free style it really changes the game
  23. [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.
  24. [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.
