Snow Trails by RiderX App Reviews

Version 3.4.1 11/12/14 My use if this version has been limited mostly to planning routes and checking weather and snow cover to date. As one other user commented, there is a bit if lag from the time you select something to when it updates. This is the case when on wifi so may be even slower when using data. When checking for snow cover, shades show on map but you cant show legend to determine depth nor can you adjust opacity like before so you can see town names or trails. At bottom of screen, it shows temp and weather condition but snow shows zero even though snow overlay shows deeper snow. I tried zooming or moving around but it remains at zero snow depth. Sometimes when you select no overlays, map still shows them. I did a trial run with my bike and when finished riding it showed a distance of 5 miles but once I saved ride it showed 4.6. Finally, even though Ive synced regularly, some if my recorded rides have been lost. Not sure if/how I may be able to recover them. App updates are improving the app in some respects but bugs continue to exist. I as Im sure other users do appreciate Polaris continuing to try to make this app better. Hopefully the bugs can be fixed before season start. Thanks!

So far no good. I get a notice that it will not connect to device GPS. Will not down load trails.

It says the trails end in southern Wisconsin on Illinois border which isnt true. How do we get the Illinois trails also?

The app is great but why is there to trails loaded for alaska

Ever since the last update the app has crashed every time I have used it. I have reinstalled it on a new phone to no avail...please fix it because I love using it when sledding!!

App is working well so far. Only annoying thing I have found so far is when planning a trip and you are trying to put a marker on the trail, it keeps highlighting the trail instead of putting a marker. I have to zoom in and click off the trail.

Loved the app till this latest update. Now I cant create an account or login which prevents using the app in offline mode. Since I have no service where I ride, the app is now useless.

Would have been nice to see my last two days of riding. But this app crashed and didnt save a thing. I guess theres nothing like the good old Garmin. Great if it would work. Im sure Polaris has the money to make a decent app, or wait, maybe it senses I ride a skidoo. Ill have to buy a Polaris to see if it works better ;)

If you ride snowmobiles, this app is a "Must Get". Very helpful, and a lot more handy than carrying around that clumsy trail map!

Snow depth on the bottom left always reads 0". Dont ever try to upload a pic to a saved waypoint in a poor reception area or it will keep looping an upload error message. However I did figure out how to clear this, go into settings and clear cache. Map has no trail numbers, just the name of the trail that is hardly ever posted. Lots of potential, just not ready yet.

This is a great app I recommend it to anyone and everyone who rides

App is good,but the screen has to much crap on it.Its hard to see the trail under that black vertical bar.Put that stuff on the top or bottom of the page and then you can see more of the map.A quarter of the screen is taken up because of that bar.

nice to get info on places to ride, where the new snow is and how much. I need to use it more on rides and learn its full potential !

Great potential but needs some fine tuning. Maps are great but waypoints dont sync with riderx website.

Nice app. Really needs landscape mode.

Wish it had trail numbers. Then in would be perfect

Used it a couple times this year and it worked well. All main trials were on the map and we were able to figure out where we were. It would be nice if there was a way to tell if trails in a given area are opened or closed, as this year snow conditions were we live werent the greatest.

Its ok, but it doesnt write routes or save routes unless u have x amount of waypoints!! Was disappointed!!

Nice to see the club trails on here

I like this app a lot. I have used it several times this winter. It is missing some of the smaller trails in my area, but Im going to start tracking them and hopefully they will show up. Overall though, this app is a must-have for snowmobilers! Keep up the good work! Im looking forward to the next updates.
