The app is great, but needs optimization to some newer phones
The app works all fine and dandy, but it’s not optimized to the iPhone X, XS, XS Max, or XR. Look, I get this app is getting a ton of downloads from people especially since it’s the middle of winter, but with 99 cents per purchase PLUS text message plans, I think you have enough money to quickly optimize it.
Am I honest, honest opinion I just use this app to know if there is ever a snow day because snow days are very rare in my city or town idk if the population matches to any of them but it’s 384,165. Amazing app though. I first saw snow in the month of January 2024. I had to go up near the mountains but halfway there the road was iced, the snow was Cold but it was very good finally getting to throw some snowballs around
This should probably go without saying, but the information you get from this app should just be considered for fun. The app goes off of weather forecasts, but even if you do get a certain amount of snow, it’s always up to the discretion of the school district whether or not they think the roads are bad enough to cancel. You can’t count on it for accuracy. I have noticed the app is a bit glitchy at times as well, but for $1, whatever. It’s not like you’ll go broke buying it.
When I first got this app, I used it for fun, not really paying attention to the chance we got for a snow day. I then tried to use it to see if school would end up getting canceled, because then our basketball ball games would get cancelled. I’ve tried it multiple times, once there was a 1% chance of a snow day, literally almost everyone in the state closed. I mean, then that means they just choose a random number and go with it. Im sorry but this was a disappointing app for me.
Very disappointed. I paid for the text updates which was a big mistake. I gave two stars due to accuracy and the fact I paid for text updates and have received none. Furthermore I emailed the app designer and received no response.
I paid extra for text updates, they don’t work. And it keeps trying to make me purchase it again. Also, Thursday showed 97% chance of snow day, we had school. Friday showed 61% chance, and school was canceled. Waste of money. Definitely disappointing lots of little kids lol
This app is very very very in accurate!! there is 11 inches of snow on the ground here in Denver Colorado. On this app it says there is 1 inch!!! how is it even possible to make such a big mistake? However it says that there’s only a 27% chance of a snow day tomorrow that is not possible, especially when it’s supposed to be less than 20° tomorrow. THEREFORE THIS APP IS VERY INACCURATE AND MISLEADING!! ⚠️⚠️⚠️WARNING DO NOT DOWNLOAD⚠️⚠️
Do not waste your money. Used the first two storms after purchase with completely inaccurate predictions. 97% chance of snow day did not pan out to a delay or snow day. Just disappointment after expecting a 97% chance of one!
Since I’ve gotten the app, it has not been right once!!! Kinda a rip off if you ask me. Every time it says that there’s a high chance of a snow day school is always open.
This doesn’t give you very many details. I only bought this one, so I wouldn’t have to deal with ads. However, it turns out the free app Snow Day Calculator is better, despite the ads.
Prediction only for 2 days. I mean that is built in iPhone. I was expecting to show when is the snow. Even default free app tells 10 days in advance. Iphone X not supported as well. Wasted 1 buck ))
The snow day calculator said there was a 99% chance of a snow day and they was not even an inch of snow the snow just started to FALL!! Don’t spend your money on this it’s a waste
It has not been accurate ONCE in two years. We will have a snow day and it says 38% chance of no snow day or 99%chance as we are sitting in class. It is a joke. Don’t support this inaccurate app.
When I got this app, I tried to enter it but it closed automatically. I tried restarting my phone, but it won’t work. This is a waste of money... Don’t buy!
Seriously: I haven't had any issues with the app locking up and the prediction model is better than the local weather people--really. Folks, you are also battling with human decisions on school schedules. For me, this I'd the app I tell my classes about.
This app is such a lying garbage piece of junk. It told me 99% 2 days in a row and school wasn’t cancelled. Waste of a dollar and time. They should be paying you to use the app.
This app is awesome!!! It's been right since 100% of the time. Got to say whoever made this is a pure genius!!! Totally worth every penny!!! You should definitely buy the app!!!!! Haven't found any other snow day apps this accurate. Keep up the awesome work!! Don’t be fooled if in the morning the chance lowers because the app takes the time that the storm passes with the current time to make an extremely accurate prediction. If it says it went down from a high number due to storm passing you will likely get a snow day like it predicted but maybe not the day after cause the storm has already passed. Honestly it hasn’t failed me and I’ve used it for years. Anyone who says different clearly doesn’t know how to read.
It is an ok app half the time the other half is full of glitches it ask you if you would like to sign up for text alerts don't you have to pay more for it and you have a fifty fifty chance of it sending you the text that gives you the pass word for it to work if it doesn't you can email the creator of the app but he is vary slow about fixing your problem so that is why I have stopped emailing him about the glitches because I 99% shore that they will be slow to fix them so save your 99cents and just use the free one online and add it to your home screen on your phone their are no glitches on the free web site
The night of Monday February 15th I checked this app it said chance of 76% of school closing. I checked about an hour later and it was at 20%. It said it went from a high 76% percent due to a storm passing. I don't know if it's me but every night it starts out like at 60-90% and in the morning it's limited. Let's get to the point😂 so that night I checked it around 9:30. I woke up at 7:00 A.M and it said limited chance for today. Minutes later I got a message saying there wasn't any school😂. This app isn't always accurate. If you get this don't expect really good results
I got this app originally and thought it was free, but it isn't. For me it says limited chance for a snow day before and after our superintendent already calls it! I think the app could use more than a little help, mostly for that reason. If you aren't looking for any exact predictions then it would be fine or if you didn't care if it said "limited chance" after the schools are closed then go ahead buy it. What I'm saying is I'm not really liking it I would try another app with higher ratings. Thank you for your time😊
This app is pretty good at predicting a snow day, but he doesn't seem to have invested in his server. Whenever I try to use it when a storm is approaching, I get an error that says the app. is having trouble connecting to the internet. I know it's not my internet; I can do everything else I do that requires internet. I assume this means there are a lot of people trying to use it and not enough server space to handle the traffic.
My daughter bought this with one of her iTunes gift cards. It's not an exact science obviously, but honestly so far this winter it's been spot on. I actually have it on my phone for fun since I work at a school. I'll keep it as long as my phone space permits. I have an iPhone 6 and it's not crashing and works every time. For kids though, this is a fun and entertaining app that keeps the thoughts of a snow day in their heads!
This app has always been accurate. Yes the predictions decrease from high percentage to a low sometimes, but just as the app says, it's because the storm may have passed quicker than was predicted. Every time it stayed at a high percentage our school got closed or a delay, definitely reliable! Love it!
At first, I couldn't get this to work, every time I opened it the app would black screen and quit. After about five tries, the app opened and worked well. This app is nice, when it works, but defiantly needs some work regarding crashes. The app also hasn't been upgraded to the iPhone 5 resolution, so that kinda decreases from the overall quality of the app.
I see a lot of poor reviews on this app, not sure why. I've been using the site for years now, and I wanted to get the app for easier access and it has been working flawlessly! Thanks
I think this is a great app. I mean no one can be 100% on school closings but the school itself so don't bank on this, but it's a good gauge for parents who need to tentatively have a back up plan in place! Thank you!
