Pros and cons of Whistler Blackcomb Live app for iPhone and iPad
Whistler Blackcomb Live app good for
Neat app for tracking runs and events/mountain info. GPS is relatively accurate too. Needs new high res icon, but other than that, free .99 is always a good investment.
Once you get around registering a login in ( utter frustration ) and realize that to track your whole day of sking you just need to press start on the run tracker it becomes an amazing free resort app.
Learning and muddling through what is a feature and what is an ad takes a few tries but once I sorted it out I fell in love with the hidden simplicity of the app!
I love knowing how fast I went down any run and where I skied for the day. Comparing with friends and keeping track of how many days I skied was simple.
Dont sell this app short its very intelligent!
Everything is good but needs an update for iPhone5 so it fills the screen!
Perfect app to check out the real up to date weather and conditions. First app I check in the morning, last app I check at night.
I thoroughly enjoy this app. The various ways of accessing the data I want are intuitive. I would like to see more deals linked to the app. I have read the other complaints -- I am on an iPhone 4 with no problems.
Fantastic year round app, full of great info. Example what temperature you can expect in the Alpine mid summer .
Some bad moments
This has to be the worst app ever produced. Someone or some people need fired over this one. The sign up process is clearly not designed for a smart phone. Utter rubbish! Stay clear of this, its no wonder Whistler is on a downward slope with this rubbish!!!!
This has a lot of potential but its such a difficult mess to use. Low res icon makes me want to hide it away so I dont have to look at it. Why do I need a big picture of myself taking up most of the screen? How about an option to update my edge photo in the app?
Get Ski Track instead.
I cant even sign up for an account - tried a dozen or more times and it randomly kicks me back to the very first of MANY screens throughout the sign up process. Very random and a total waste of time.
It also lies - I was able to sign in as a guest tp check wait times at lifts - would be a really useful feature if it actually was honest or accurate about wait times, EVERY lift has a 0-5 minute wait? Right.
Sign up process is brutal! Right now 2 of my guests are trying to register. They were somehow forced to login through Whistlers website where they cant even find a login page.
And try changing the language! Crashes all the time. Otherwise great! :)
I am a season pass holder I love the statistics on it. And the first page is the same as my pass. Hoping they can scan my card through my smart phone soon.
The frustrating sign up procedure is enough to make me delete this app!
The app is completely unusable. It keeps on just shutting itself down...
