We analyzed 1,178 negative reviews to understand why users abandon the most popular Skiing apps — and what they want instead.
Specific, exploitable gaps in the top Skiing apps on the App Store.
Confusing navigation and frequent app crashes
"This app is ridiculous. It never works. (Ikon Pass)"
"Takes forever to load and open, has errors loading and sometimes won’t even open. (Ikon Pass)"
Data loss and forced subscription model
"Lost my data and Ski Tracks won’t respond so lame. (Ski Tracks)"
"I used to love this app, but this year its different. Now you have to sign in, or your resorts aren’t saved. (OnTheSnow Ski & Snow Report)"
Inconsistent tracking and battery issues
"Tracking just says 'clear cache' even after killing the app and restarting my phone, same message. (Ikon Pass)"
"Latest app update with 3D maps is an absolute drain on phone battery. (Ikon Pass)"
46% of reviews express dissatisfaction with the shift to subscription models, with many users feeling that the pricing is unjustified for features that were previously free.
Users mention they'd be willing to pay a modest yearly fee if it meant better app functionality and customer support but find the current $50/year excessive.
