Pros and cons of SkiPrepper app for iPhone and iPad

SkiPrepper app good for

Quick, simple to use and accurate. Tusen Takk til Norge og Apphuset !

This app puts the wax table data for most ski wax brands on your iPhone. While not maximizing whiz-bang potential, it is awfully handy to not either carry around paper copies or hunt down the advice on the wax containers themselves. Ski Preppers simplicity is also a good deal less confusing than some of the wax manufacturers online "wizards" (particularly Swix). Contrary to another reviewer, Ive never had the app crash after 2 seasons of use. Suggestions: * Include the temperature range of waxes as a separate pick. Its helpful to know how close you are to the top of bottom of a waxs temperature range. Currently, one must iterate temperatures and see when a different wax is suggested. * Include a link to the wax manufacturers local race suggestions, preferably by enabling the phones GPS location. True, most manufacturers dont have active techs working in all regions, (here in the US Pacific NW, only the Toko rep is active...) but it would be cool if the app searched and found which ones existed for the phones location. * Enable a wiki process where people define snow conditions and what wax/grind/flex combinations worked best, i.e. talk to the race winner! or worst.

Some bad moments

I was hoping for an in depth analysis with graphical representations, error bars, anything to help make an informed decision. There is no way to know without tedious input whether youre close to switching up waxes, or explanation why a wax is used specifically. This is actually less useful than the packaging of the wax products.

Have requested refund but no response. Shuts after opening with no options.
