Portes du Soleil for Android
App constantly prompts to update the simply dumps user back at the Play store. Also crashes after only two or three screens, whatever it is you are looking at. Not at all useful.
Weather updates that never update (android), use the website instead or chamonix app, it has FAR more information and is what ESF use. App also suffers from poor ux, and quite limited actual functionality, except for the piste map and "find me" functionality, which is good.
What happened to the summer mountain biking data?
HD works OK for me, but a few functions like Itineraries and lift times need improving/fixing. Some of the round trip itineraries seem a bit weird and random. Some error - try TC Ardent to somewhere in Super Chatel.
The map of the station does not provide the name of the slopes, so if you what to plan a tour with friends you cannot name the slopes unless you know then. Forecast is not updated: on Feb 8th at 16:00, checking the forecast for Feb 9th says that last update was Feb 7th at 9:30 :-0 GPS not working: I did never manager to get the GPS to tell me where I was... It on did once and I was down in the village.
....And causes the piste map page to be blank.. you can't turn it off so you need to reinstall the app to get the standard resolution map back...
Downloading the maps didn't work, blank canvas. Otherwise seems useful
It works, but its annoying that I can only see the weather in Avoriaz! Apart from that it does what it's supposed to do.
But HD map not working
Problem with map as described by others.
Very usefull
The latest version crashes systematically when opening the map. It's annoying and makes this app useless - we might as well get all info from the website. Other apps from the same developers (Grand Massif, for example) have been updated at the same time but do not crash - or at least not as often. Please fix this!
Obsolete data
Unfortunately it just crashes all the time otherwise it seems like it could be a really useful app
No point having this app because every time you launch the map it crashes the app
the only useful feature - showing the opening hours - doesnt work, shows 12.00-11.59.. map is crappy, lots of work for you guys
HD map doesn't work
The app freezes once the hd map option is downloaded. Would be a great app if it would work.
Annoying
Trying to load the ski map just keeps on forcing it to close. So really handy when checking where you are etc. The older version was more stable.
Perfect site. Good real time information
Guys..since the latest update it keeps on crashing. Pls fix this bug so I can use it next week! Thx
No UI concept, not much added value
Crashes every time the map is opened. Useless.
Not really that compatible with android as it crashes and loses data a lot. A decent update (there hasn't been one for over 6 months) is needed urgently to improve this mediocre app
Thought this app would be great. Recorded a whole days skiing in Avoriaz through the Ski+ feature on the app only for it to be unable to sync any data to the Ski+ app. Everytime you try and open Ski+ from the PDS App it takes you to a defunct website. Next day used iPhone 5S and it all works perfectly. Gutted to lose all the data from a days skiing - only use on iPhone's.
I rarely rate apps, but this one is really nice. Especially for a non-technology enterprise (I.e. a ski resort). Lastly, the map material could be even more high-def.
Usable but annoying
Useless
You can't open the piste map without it crashing. I'm going to stick to the paper map!
Latest update now causes crashes. Totally unusable.
Very good indeed
Crashes
Slow, very very slow. Paper maps are more useful.
Great
I installed it some time ago and found it was eating battery (when not in use) so I removed it. Reinstalled this week as I skiing on Sunday and its still not fixed, so I guess I'll never get to try it on the slopes.
Especially good for checking the Webcams! Useful piste maps, weather info and a very good emergency page.
Shocking-constant crashing, very slow startups, gps location never worked
Does not work on samsung Note3

I love the interface and features, I hope the team continues to improve it. This app may become the best for Portes du Soleil.
