Pros and cons of New Zealand Snow Reports app for iPhone and iPad
New Zealand Snow Reports app good for
PLease please add snow reports from around the globe (especially the u.s) This app could be huge if you guys did extend the coverage. There isnt anything else like this in the store yet.
Looks similar to apples weather app but with a better background. I live in the U.S. and it would be nice to see a version with U.S. ski resorts.
It is a good app, just because you dont live in New Zealand doesnt mean you should give it one star. Its not their fault you dont live there, if it doesnt apply to you, then dont rate it! Its shocking how many people complain about this. The app itself is fine. There are other apps that you can use to find ski resorts in the USA and Canada...dont give bad ratigs just because its of no use to you, other people can find it useful!
Going to NZ in august from the US and this should come in handy. Ive already checked and everything looks good. Sorry that some americentric ignoramuses seem to think that apps are for US market only.
Some bad moments
Would be a nice app except for when I checked Whakapapa the app said it was closed with no lifts open, yet Whakapapa is open with 2 chairlifts running as posted on their web site. If you use the first time and data isnt accurate it really makes it hard to come back and use again. Also full report button leaves the app and opens a browser window, meaning to view another resorts info you have to close the browser and re open the app. Not ideal.
