NW Snow Buddy iPhone app: How To

looks sweet, count me in the waiting for android camp, I might even pay for that one.

Ditto. Need Android as well. Good stuff.

^ Ditto. Would be willing to pay for the telemetry graphs alone.

Cool app. Downloaded it. Some hopefully constructive observations:
1. I much prefer NWAC weather forcasts to NOAA. Don't know how others feel, but to me there's no comparison.
2. Even with explanation, the graphs are probably going to be overload for me most of the time. I might be in the minority on this, but I want to see the actual numbers, not the data's relativity to other metrics, most often. The graphs are cool, but most of the time what I really want is a trimmer or better formatted version of the NWAC telemetry. Maybe it's just a habit, but i'd like to have both options in the same app. Yeah, I can use the NWAC mobile site (awesome, btw), but for paid app I want both in one place.

Seeing that I can get everything except the graphs and snowfall predictions from the NWAC mobile site, it would be cool to see some added features in the future (especially for a paid app). Some suggestions/fantasies:
-Key Web cams (Snoqualmie summit, Stevens summit, Blewett)
-Satellite loops!
-Something that crawls TAY/TGR/NWH for recent trip reports and organizes by region. Dare to dream

Great to see this kind of thing develop! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the great suggestions. I'll try and put most of those features into the next update as I agree, they would be really useful and it's nice to have a single place to look at everything.

If anyone else has resources that they'd want to see included, feel free to post or email me.

This is a great app! I like its simplicity and the logical way it is put together. And I, for one, really like the big graph. It puts a lot of information in one glimpse … helpful for displaying information on a single, small screen.

I have a couple of suggestions to improve usability:

1. Cache the data for a number of days (perhaps user definable) so that the screens will still display when the unit leaves the network … so we can carry the data with us however far into the backcountry we venture.

2. The app works in compatibility mode on the iPad, which means that it still only functions as a small screen. If it were built as a universal app, the big, complex graph screen would be much more readable.

In all, I think version 1.0 is very useful. Keep up the good work.

PS More functionality comes to mind. What if the NWAC (or individuals) could enter snow profiles in real time? with GPS locating?
