1. [R2] OpenSnow 5/5 · US My Go To Weather App: Open Snow has become outstanding. I don't even look at anything else anymore. You guys seem to have thought of everything. The information is spot on. I'm still learning all the nuances, but the more I use it the more impressed I become. Thx!
2. [R12] OpenSnow 5/5 · US Great Forecasts!: I am a pro ski patroller in Wyoming. I use Open Snow regularly. Good accurate weather forecasting. Really nice site as it is totally geared towards skiers. I don’t think you can find a better resource for powder and big dumps. Great maps and localized forecasts. Highly recommend!
3. [R22] OpenSnow 5/5 · US Skiers Delight: If you want to know when the snow is going to hit, OpenSnow is the best.
4. [R62] NOAA Radar & Weather Forecast 4/5 · US No Radar: Nothing loaded on map except for ads begging for subscriptions for more stuff. Sux.
5. [R41] OpenSnow 5/5 · US Easy to use: I appreciate being able to see all my favorite locations in one view for the quick comparisons I need to do each week when planning ski touring for myself or clients. The regional forecast reports are also helpful for a deeper synopsis of what might be coming.
6. [R46] OpenSnow 5/5 · US Amazing weather tool!: I originally started using OpenSnow as a tool to track ski conditions, but it’s honestly become one of my go-to weather apps year-round. The forecasts are consistently accurate, and the level of detail goes well beyond what you get from most standard weather apps. The interface is intuitive and easy to navigate, whether you’re checking snow totals, hourly forecasts, or broa
7. [R61] NOAA Radar & Weather Forecast 1/5 · US Hands Up!: Just trying to get through the questions is an issue. How can I know the worth of the app without an easier way to use it. Like being digitally mugged.
8. [R70] NOAA Radar & Weather Forecast 1/5 · US Not free: I downloaded your app. It said that you had a free version and that I only had to pay for the premium version. After I downloading I couldn’t access anything! It said that I had to have the free trial for 3 days and then pay $9.99. Nothing worked it just said “oops try again”. There is no free version just a scam to get me to pay! Don’t say that I only have to pay if I get the premium se
9. [R10] OpenSnow 5/5 · US Reliable: Accurate forecasts for the areas I choose
10. [R100] NOAA Radar & Weather Forecast 1/5 · US Nothing on the Screen: There is only a world map on the app and nothing dealing with weather. There are a lot of error messages. I used this app during Hurricane Helene last year and it was amazing. Now it doesn’t work. Canceling my subscription…
11. [R110] NOAA Radar & Weather Forecast 1/5 · US TERRIBLE.: Weather inaccurate. And, it is constantly asking me to upgrade to a different version. Worst app I’ve seen, weather or otherwise. 0 stars. Do not bother with this junk.
12. [R1] OpenSnow 2/5 · US Bait and switcharoo with “All Access”: I enjoyed using OpenSnow and appreciated its pricing model for the All-Access subscription. However, OpenSnow cancelled the All-Access subscription and changed subscribers to their Base subscription and introduced a higher subscription, Premium. I didn’t appreciate being baited and switched to a subscription that was no longer fitting of the original name, so
13. [R6] OpenSnow 3/5 · US expensive: This app has become too expensive for weather you can find elsewhere. They add features I don’t use and take away ones I enjoyed for an even higher price. I love that you can find multiple resorts in one place.
14. [R11] OpenSnow 1/5 · US Disappointed increased cost: Great app but are now charging too much, now you have to upgrade to get the services that were always standard before… had to debate renewal
15. [R18] OpenSnow 5/5 · US Best Long Term Forecast Discussions: OpenSnow forecasters provide such clear, concise and extensive overviews of broader weather patterns (eg El Niño, ridges & troughs across the hemisphere) and how those larger patterns relate to local forecasts. They choose great charts to illustrate and write in a way that makes sense to forecast lay-people.
16. [R59] OpenSnow 5/5 · US Great Weather App for All Seasons: I’ve been an OpenSnow user for many years and it has proven to be a great resource for planning my outdoor activities, especially skiing but also biking and hiking. It provides very reliable weather and snowfall predictions, and the commentary by the forecasters is entertaining and educational. Highly recommended!
17. [R92] NOAA Radar & Weather Forecast 1/5 · US Surprise: Really wish they would tell you in advance instead of tryin to get you with a 10$ payment up front then a 10$ weekly payment….just be upfront…here’s your 10$ payment for wasting my time…COMPLETE SCAM
