SkiLynx for Negative User Reviews
✓ Does what it says really wellSkyLinx is primarily about one thing. Automatically mapping lifts and runs, and sharing them with your friends or family in real time. It’s essentially “Find My Friends at a ski resort” and as a bonus, it will keep track of which lifts and tracks you rode each day and for each ski season, as well as total distance. I frequent Lake Tahoe (e.g., Squaw, Northstar, Heavenly) and the app is incredibly accurate. It obviously needs data connection to indicate where your friends are, but it logs my own data just fine with weak or no signal. This app does not track your ski performance. No average and maximum speed, altitude, slope degree, duration, and difficulty level. No HealthKit integration. I would gladly buy an IAP to enable performance monitoring if available. On-board messaging feature works fine, and it has useful set of quick replies. But I much prefer to use Apple’s Messages app. The app has a polished overall look and feel, but dated. It depends on hamburger menu for navigation. I would much prefer navigation tool bar on the bottom. I wish the app would let me create a permanent family group. Instead, I have to send a text message each day to kick start the ski run. The app does not backup data at all. So if you setup your phone as new, you will lose all past data. Apple Watch app is also quite nice. It uses very little resource and performs okay even on series 0 Apple Watch. The battery impact is surprisingly low. Even with heavy video and photo shooting, and allowing my kids to play games during the lunch break, my iPhone 7 Plus ended 9-hour day with 50% battery life to spare..Version: 5.0
✓ FlakeyHave skied 2 days as a member of a group but the app fails to record any statistics for my skiing. 0 runs, 0 miles. Disappointed..Version: 6.0
✓ Useless for meSupports only fix number of ski resorts, it does not support Whisltler.Version: 2.1
✓ No way to review itI have no way to review the app because I'm at a mountain that it doesn't support, Crested Butte. Waste of my money and time!.Version: 3.0
✓ Have to give access to contactsThat is such a bummer that you must give access to your contacts to use the app. You don’t get to skip that option..Version: 7.0
✓ Useless if you're at an unsupported mountainIt only works if you're at one of the mountains in its list. There's no "other" mode..Version: 3.0
✓ DisappointedI purchased this app based on a few different comparisons I read of ski apps online, and some positive reviews, I think they were all sucked in by the "social" aspect, and being able to text from the app(big whoop), 'cause I was unimpressed. There were a few issues that caused me to be disappointed, after my first use. 1. My phone battery died halfway through my ski day, (Old phone, gps, and streaming music. Kills the battery pretty fast, and I forgot re-charge battery.) and even though I had the companion Apple Watch app installed I only got half a day's worth of stats. Seems like if the watch app is running and the watch has GPS, it should still be able to record stats and sync up w/ the phone once it is recharged. 2. Even after recharging my phone, and shutting down the app on the iPhone, it was still using my GPS, despite the fact that I set it to "When using the app" in location preferences, and no longer had the app in the foreground on the watch. I had to reboot my phone to get it to stop using the GPS. 3. Maybe it's buried in the preferences screens somewhere, but I couldn't a way to get to many of the stats available in other ski-tracking apps like top speed, total vert., etc. All I got were runs, miles, and lifts. I think I'll go back to using ski-tracks..Version: 3.0
✓ ResolutionColors wash in sunlight and types of eyewear. Contrast needs improving..Version: 7.0
✓ Limited resort supportSeems to be nothing on the east coast supportd. Useless other than a dozen or so resorts.Version: 5.0
✓ Didn’t work at BrightonApp did not locate Brighton Ski resort Itah when I was there. Kept sending me to Alta, a nearby resort. Disappointed but move to another app..Version: 6.0
✓ Limited resortsBeware before buying it works at your ski resort(s). Useless for my midwest area..Version: 7.0
✓ Not enough ski areas on this appI was really excited about this for our group to be able to check and locate each other on the ski slopes. I bought it but didn’t realize it doesn’t even include the ski area we go to. We go to Winter Park Colorado and it’s not included in the list of mappable locations. Maybe in a couple of years this app will be good -right now it is worthless to me..Version: 5.0
✓ Very disappointed considering the priceIt doesn't even record your speed. There are much better (and free) alternatives, e.g. Trace Snow, resort apps (Epic, Squaw Valley). The only useful feature is group realtime location and messaging. But you can easily achieve that by using whatever IM app + Find My Friends. Definitely not worth it..Version: 3.0
✓ Like that I can see the group in real timeMap resolution is poor, cannot make out the writing on many runs and zooming in doesn’t help. So if you don’t know the area well you can’t tell the names is some of the runs I’m home for the day and can see each lift and run for everyone.Version: 5.0
✓ Missing Many ResortsNot clear that many resorts are not available. Disappointed..Version: 5.0
✓ No east coast mountainsPlease add NH and VT mountains!.Version: 2.0
✓ KludgyDidn’t record days of skiing. Not enough inputs. Major resort Alta not on their system. Not sure how it works. Can’t interrogate the app..Version: 6.0
