Mountain-Forecast.com

Update—Since they changed the basic (free) version, I don’t use it much anymore. Future days are forecast-limited to morning/afternoon/night, so basically useless. And I’m not paying $25/year for something I can pretty much get for free (NOAA, AccuWeather, Weather underground and many, many more). I think all previous reviews should be wiped clean when there’s this much of a change in the app. Otherwise, they’re false. Previous review: As my title says, FREE. For now anyway. God help me if they start charging for the basic version. I’d have to go back to NOAA, which is pessimistic and doesn’t do spot forecasts. Mountain Forecast lacks the ability to find ridges or other relatively minor places you might want to hike, but there’s that magic word FREE. And, combined with ACCURATE, it’s pretty much unbeatable. I live close to Rocky Mountain Nat’l Park. I discovered the mountain-forecast site after asking a ranger what they used. I find the app to be significantly more accurate than NOAA, especially because it gives you data on at least two elevations. That’s huge for someone like me who seeks elevation and hates hiking up in the heat. Going down, warm is okay. Also, the app is more accurate on hike day (or morning, as I often do short morning hikes in the foothills). I can see hour-by-hour how it’s going to be, and can get out and enjoy some sun (and often low wind) when I see it’ll cloud up and blow/snow/rain in the afternoon. So, in short, I’m very grateful to the folks behind the app for allowing me easy forecasting accuracy for free. Thank you, mountain forecast.

Very accurate weather forecast at all altitudes.

I got a new phone so I had to sign in for the 1st time in a long time and couldn’t find a screenshot of my password. I followed the prescribed “forgot password” procedure but then it refused the new password. Why do you even bother with a “forgot password” function if you’re not even going to follow your own directions! Your rules apply to you as well! Your program is straight rubbish!

This app was a great find!

The feature enhancements are awesome and so much more intuitive and user friendly. Love it and thank you for the improvements!!! Will definitely renew my subscription ❤️

I paid for the subscription and then my app updated a few weeks later. Now the minimum temperature for each day is missing. This is so annoying. About all I care about is the minimum temp. Bring it back!

They charge you to use the app, but you can use it for free off their website. Total joke. You shouldn’t be charging for something that can impact peoples decisions when in the alpine regions.

Online is incredibly useful, was hoping with pro it’d be a bit better. Any way to view past weather would be ideal, often it’s nice to see what was finally recorded…

12 day doesn’t work on mid-low elevation settings. Kinda annoying

App works for about 4 seconds, never any longer.
