Avalanche Forecasts for Android
The app works great to check forecasts when your out and getting ready to go. It's nice that it links to all the major forecast centers
Works well most the time. Has errors updating sometimes
Wonderful avalanche app! Avalanche forecast does a superb job of pulling info from regional avalanche centers and putting it into an easy to use map. Highly recommend!
The only real complaint with my S7 is that it doesn't update timely. I have to open and close once or twice to get the current day's forecast
This has been a great tool for monitoring the avalanche risk, especially when you live away from the mountains and want to prepare for a trip snowmobiling! Avoiding high risk days in avalanche terrain keeps you alive for the next trip.
Needs to be a little more mobile friendly. Avy reports etc appear like they do on a computer and are not formatted for phones. Just a minor gripe. Everything else is really helpful and well made.
This app would be very nice if it actually worked. All regions with exception of Glacier NP open only blank page where bulletin supposed to be, but it's not.
Concise and descriptive summary of the danger, avalanche problem, snowpack and weather forecast. The NWAC application doesn't work as well as this one
I check this app every day before I go out into the backcountry. The diagrams are easy to usr and informative. It definately impacts my decision about where I choose to ski
This needs more development. When phone orientation changes the app self destructs. Other problems need to be addressed for Android.
Not as robust as the avalanche center websites. Gives you a nice quiet overview but lacks tools for detailed analysis....
Good layout. Easy to use. I use it to gauge avalanche danger before skiing or snowboarding trips.
Great for getting avalanche information on the go, which is especially helpful when a computer is not readily accessible.
It's a great way for me to check the avalanche forecast in the morning before heading out. No more having to dial in to the hotline and listen in the phone.
Excellent app for integrating allnof the various regional avy information centers - great if you frequently travel to different regions.
Not as good as the Utah avi app on apple devices
This is a great way to stay on top of current conditions, highly recommended ! STAY SAFE EVERYONE !
App does what its supposed to do but could be upgraded to match the design standards of Android. Browser within the app works but is not as good as the internal chrome browser Google offers. Links to WB skiing or similar would also be great
Easy access to forecasts across the west. When you're planning to travel to different areas throughout the winter, there's no better way to track their snowpack development.
Up to date information & pretty accurate. Granted weather & conditions are always changing this app gives you a good guide line of conditions.☆☆☆☆☆ remember to use you head to make the right judgment call. Dig your snow pits, carry a probe, & have fun out there.
Nice quick reference. I teach Snowmobile based avalanche awareness classes for the State of Idaho and use often. Any chance in linking the Payette and Pan Handle centers in Idaho?
And they were super quick at fixing a broken link due to an external website changed :-) +1 and half to that!
Great app. Very straightforward and easy to use.
Glad to have this info available. App works good and text and pics are great.
I always check this app before heading out. Even if you're not going in the back country it's good to know what the risk level is at.
Necessity for back country travel. Love it especially when I live at 8200 feet. Lobe being able to view other states as well. Great app highly recommend!
Handy now that the official avalanche app is so clunky and hard to use.. Cheers!
Must have for back country travel.
This app Rocks. The guy's at Utah Avalanche are the best.
Great app, great info. A backcountry riders must..
It's a great app. It's great to have updated info right with me on my phone
It's a great resource to be able to hear from people with everyday, first hand knowledge about what's going on to help us make informed decisions about going out to the backcountry. Thanks UAC!
You can't say very many apps save lives, but this one does. Legit, up and down.
I love that I can check avy conditions in Washington, Wyoming, and BC all in one place. Reports are accessible, succinct, and helpful for supplementing my back country decision.
Great app for the avalanche conditions but a little slow to load sometimes
It doesn't cover everything, but it seems like new features are still being added all the time so I went ahead and gave it 5 stars.
Love checkin this app out before I go Braaapin!
I love the unification and merging of data from multiple sources
Lot's of info. Confidence is poor for northern bc though. Overall very useful

Works great. Especially helpful for people who travel and are unaware of web sites for regions they are planning to tour. Good interface and quite useful.
