Published a free simple SnoTel data app for Android

[buildakicker]

Hey everyone, I've released an update to the snotel app. If you are interested in being a beta tester or already are one, I'd be stoked to get some feedback on the update. I have some pro codes as well for Android and soon codes for IOS. DM me for a code if you'd like to test the app with some additional features like hourly data, nearby webcams, point forecast and more.

Thanks for putting this together, its working well on my Samsung S9. As a weather junky I was bummed to see NOAA get rid of the map that included linked points to all of the weather stations in the northwest. It was old and clunky but super handy ultimately.

I would love to be able to see the hourly data for each day. Its nice to follow along with the storm accumulation in semi-real time and get a look at especially intense periods of snowfall. I'm sure that's more complicated of course but if you're looking for next steps that would be it for me.

Hey TGR, happy winter. I've updated the snotel mapper and added changes folks have been suggesting. Also, you can see the ideas and possible future changes in the beta version if interested. [emoji106]

Apple Test flight has also been updated. If you want to be a beta tester, DM me with your email.

Always interested in feedback as well.

"... you got it buddy!"

Hey All, just wanted to let you know that I updated the app to fix an issue with caching.

Peace!

I just stumbled onto this. The Android version is sweet: thanks for making it!

Finally got the iOS version up. Feel free to be a beta tester (40 folks total, so grab a spot!) or if you want to support the app, you can get it on the app store. Thanks again all for the feedback.

Hey everyone! I'm working on releasing an iOS version. Anyone want to be testers? DM your email and I'll add you.

Thanks all for the support.

Not getting dara in the Missoula area. Thought it was my ad blocker, but I turned it off.

...I'm working to get it into iOS soon.

Keen to check it out when this is available on iOS. Might be able to help with beta testing... and maybe a bit of UX design if you need it and I have time.

Reviving a dead thread! I updated the snotel app on Android and I'm working to get it into iOS soon. If you use the app, any ideas or suggestions for what you'd like to see in the future would be great. Thanks!

Seems like it's working ok

Bump

I'm running this on Android 8.1 and am running the beta version of the app.

When I open the app or switch between maps, it always starts with the map centered in Colorado and then scrolls to my location. I know that's a little thing but it's unbelievably annoying, especially if I want to switch between to get the snotel/avi danger for a specific location.

Also, I got stuck in the settings menu and had to force stop the app to reload the maps.

Cool idea, definitely buggy. Considered this isn't monetized I appreciate you putting in the time.

Hi thanks for the info. Did you get the screen that asked for feedback at all? Just wondering about what errors might have shown. I have Android 8.1 on a pixel. Thanks!

Added a little update to fix some issues to the beta channel! Added a new avi danger level map. Will try and wrap it into the same map as the snotel locations if I can get past a weird bug with it. Merry Christmas all!

Forced an update, re-did the favorites and got the elevations and new data.

Excellent. Let me know if you have any issues if you would.
