Good add-free app for UK mountain weather
Good app but still does not show the separate MWIS forecast for the Yorkshire Dales and North Pennines.
The Dales and Peak District MWIS forecasts have been split for about a year now.

Perfect app
Hi all. Very useful application for me. Im a hike and fly pilot, flying paragliders and speedwings. App helps me planning safe and successful hike and fly trips providing a lot of useful information. Last decision to fly or not to fly is entirely up to me but with a tool like mvis app a chance of disappointment with a weather conditions at the summit is reduced to the reasonable level. Thank you.

Could be better
Pretty good app but would have been nice to have ranged below 2000m. Yes it’s a ‘mountain forecast’ app but I think most mountain walkers also walk up hills less than 2000m. What about an app for both?! Seems a bit daft not to really. Would give it 4/5 stars if lower ranges were included in an update.
(I notice that the Peak District, and I’m sure tiger areas, does include peaks less than 2000m. Please include these for Scotland!)

not very good
bought this app with bein a keen wk end mountain walker,, it only covers the hills pre programmed into the app,, it doesnt cover even 1% of the hills in each of the given areas,, it has a search option but when i try to search for any other hill that isnt pre programmed it crashes shuts down and returns to the home screen,, gave it 1 star cos there isnt an option to give it 0,,

From strength to strength
This app continues to improve, and has recently added elevation to forecasts. Right now it’s easily the top weather app for outdoor and mountain enthusiasts in the UK. A no-brainer if you walk in the hills!

Fantastic
Great app really good reliable forecasting tool for those that like the mountains. After issues with the previous version of the app not connecting to wifi the team contacted me to say the issues had been fixed. The app has been faultless since I reinstalled it. So a big thumbs up to the app team for sorting it out and going the extra mile to contact me to say they had fixed the issues I had. Thank you.

A must have...
I am grateful to the developers for investing the time and effort to correct a few access problems I was experiencing (via wifi). The app now works perfectly and is a must have for anyone planning to spend time in the UK's upland areas.

Best app on my phone
I never write reviews but I had to make an exception for this app. No frills but does what it says on the tin. 10 out of 10.

Perfect
This is the app UK hill walkers have been waiting for. Brings many sources of info together in one easy to use app. Worth every penny.

Excellent app
Essential app for anyone heading uphill in the winter, or at any time.
Great, clean and simple, informative, easy to use, full of good advice but not overly geeky.
Perhaps, it would be also good to show coordinates of the summits and, ideally, a link to an online map (plenty of free ones these days) especially for those hills which share names with others.
The links to eg SAIS (avalanche warnings) are very handy.

App review
Downloaded this today as its not much more than a pint of lager - so not much to loose.
Initial view is that it is very user friendly and the visuals are very good. I like the direct link to MWIS and Avalanche Reports - would be good if a link could be provided to Met Office App I have on my iphone.
I will monitor the apps forecasts with other providers over the coming months and also look at Trip Reports by fellow Hillwalkers who always comment on weather conditions.
First impression is that it is worth the price - as long as the forecasts etc are accurate - only time will tell.

Excellent
I'm quite a weather geek, well you have to be living in the north of England, and I have a whole array of weather applications on my smartphone, some of them paid for and others free. But I have to say that I'm very happy with purchasing this app because I think it gives me something none of the other apps provide, namely forecasts focused on mountain regions, which to me as an outdoor type is crucial. It's one thing being caught short on the way to the supermarket without your umbrella but quite another out in the wilderness at altitude. Early days yet but I'm very happy with my purchase.
