Ski: Europe for Android
Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
IMPORTANT- Navionics has certified several Android models where the app is designed to load and operate correctly with an OS of 4.0 or higher. Please refer to our Compatibility Guide, which is continuously updated at http://www.navionics.com/en/compatibility/mobile. We cannot guarantee flawless operation or provide support for non-certified devices. ALL SALES ARE FINAL on Google Play.
Downloaded this as a mate has the ios version, the android version appears to be in beta. problems are 1. distances in km are about right conversion to miles is incorrect 2. Playback function doesn't work 3. Can't use other phone functions while ap is running
App force closes when routing and tracking so is useless at the moment. Developer has now responded and is stating intention to resolve issues - too late for my holiday but watch this space...
Love
CRASH PROBLEM: - During a ski tracking session the app crashed when i was taking a look to the slopes done. I lost all records until that istant. - Device Samsung S6 (Android 5.1.1) - I don't know if is related to the fact that when i was watching it, the data signal was bad, but in any case is a malfunction/bug. USER EXPIERENCE: For the rest the app is good because have ski slope's name, routing functionalites that i like so much. But please update the user interface, is a very iphone old style. Thanks.
The app starts, I click agree and all seem go well, but when I click "start" button nothing happens: the speed is always zero, as elevation, as distance, ecc... expect for the ski time. EDIT: now all seems be good. Thank you!
Great app and easy to use. Does what it says it would do. supprised of the low battery usage. (easy track the whole day and still 45% battery left) HOWEVER: Sync function does not work (Track on my phone and not visible on my tablet) after 4 days app stopped working on both my devices. I hope those problemes will be resolved on my next ski week next year after deinstall/install it works again, but lost my tracks. devices used: Sony Xperia SP (C5303 / android 4.3) and Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro (SM-T520 / androis 4.4.2)
I used this for a trip to Sestriere, Italy. It worked well on my Sony E3 (android 4.4.2). I set the phone up for battery life with only this App + GPS running. It used around 30% of my battery in a full day. Easy to use. Lots of stats and numbers... plenty of bragging rights in the bar. I didn't use it as a map (just a record) as I prefer to get the paper map out on a chairlift and not my phone. I didn't have much success (in a brief try) with linking it to social media, but that may have been down to a mediocre wifi service in the hotel. I didn't try data as I hadn't activated my roaming.
I tried the app in Europe but got very frustrated with the tracking function and eventually used another app which worked fine. I use Navionics for sailing, put on my I/T product management hat, and thought about the ski version which should be right up there with the competition. In my opinion, the main problem is that in the nautical versions routing functionality is primary with tracking secondary, whereas in skiing it is the other way around. Set the user interface up to match the changed environment!
Only gives route to somewhere. Whoopie!
This app keeps gps active even after closing the app. Have to use "force stop" to get out of gps mode.
Very good!
I can't open it, it crash when I press "I agree" green bottom on my nexus 5 and lollipop 5.0
Je suis entièrement satisfait de cette application. C'est un plaisir après une journée de ski de regarder le parcours effectuer et de lire ses statistiques
Nexus 5 worked fine until upgrade. Assume fix in pipeline ready for new season;-)

It s been rubbish this year. Three of us notice the app will crash out and lose data. Already updated version. Our phones are Samsung S2 and S4. Happened in Lech, Saalbach and Gressoney. Please sort this out.
More problems a year later. Programme crashes without warning loosing all your data for the day. Reinstalling but without much hope
Ugly and sync doesn't work.

Very helpful and nice.
Km to miles daily total is wrong. It is upside down. It turns 20 km into About 30 miles instead of about 11. Otherwise OK but I never got playback to work. Then after 6 days it stopped working. I am trying a re-install.
Would be good if it alerted on snow or weather reports for favourite locations.
Initially I feared another dud ski app as piste map did not look that pretty. But look past this and you have actually have a map easier to navigate than most official resort maps. The map also includes useful details such as bars and restaurants. The automatic routing facility is worth its weight in gold in a new resort. Tracking and stats are second to none. It automatically records each run and lift with individual stats for each. All stats can be saved. Highly recommended.

Ski Europe is simply superb, and when used in conjunction with a local piste map it covers all scenarios. Navionics do not do things by halves, and this has all the info you are likely to need.
This application Crashes on my Samsung Galaxy S3 whenever I try to do a route and enter a destination. What's more it does not seem to have heard of "Val Thorens" in the search function even though it shows prominently on the map. So far seems like a dangerous waste of 74p.
Terrible map display on HTC One... Visited Flaine, attempted to use once and gave up.. Back to paper map.
Lots of missing lifts and runs at one of Europe's largest resorts La Plagne, Paradski. Another ski area Zakopane in Poland has completely disappeared overnight since this app came available. Once all resorts are available and up to date it will be better than resort maps in my opinion.

Works quite well but if you need to leave app e g to make a phone call you loose all track data despite pressing 'pause'. Can you please fix this. Will not multiview.
