Why Users Are Leaving Top Skiing Tracker Apps

Ski Tracks Lite & GPS Maps

Unreliable tracking, forced subscription model alienating loyal users, can't edit tracks to remove car rides

"Ridiculous that after 4 yrs I have been using the app, they are not grandfathering loyal customers/users and mandating us to pay weekly or monthly."

"App needs edit ability to delete non-ski time like my car ride home."

Ski Buddy - Your Ski Tracker

Extremely unreliable tracking that stops mid-day and captures only fractions of activity

"Unfortunately this app is let down by tracking reliability. Across three days it managed only to track one day almost completely. The other two days have only a fraction of the activity captured."

"But it frequently stops throughout the day and misses large chunks of the ski day."

EXA Ski Tracker

Complete tracking failure, scam ads disguised as features, frequent crashes

"Completely fails to work for me. Press play and the timer starts, but every number other than max and min altitude remains 0 and shows no signs of working. Pressing history tab also crashes app."

"One of the adds on the app that looks like part of the app links to a scam."

We Ski & Snowboard Tracker

App updates wipe all historical data with no recovery option

"Liked the app unlit they upgraded the app and wiped out all of my past history and don't have away to get it back"

Significant backlash against converting from one-time purchase to subscription model. Long-time users (4-10+ years) feel betrayed by being forced into weekly/monthly payments after previously paying once. Users report paying for upgrades that don't download or activate properly.

Users are willing to pay for advanced features but expect basic tracking functionality to remain free or one-time purchase. One user specifically mentions $2 for full app as reasonable but only if tracking works reliably.
