About Avy: Avalanche & Weather Info

Key functionalities:
- Streamlined Trip Planning: With a simple tap, you can access the avalanche forecast, weather forecast, weather stations, and zone-specific observations. To minimize scrolling, forecast components are collapsible, and navigating between zones is easy.

Exactly what I expected for a mobile app
The app provides a great mobile experience for checking the avy forecast. The tables and problems are much easier to read in the app then online. The caching of the forecast of is a great bonus feature for checking there conditions when you are out of service.

Very well thought out
The layout fits well with the workflow for planning a backcountry outing. The av forecast -> weather forecast -> weather data and telemetry -> zone observations. The collapsible menus on the forecast page allow for easier navigation and top/bottom banners enable easy switching between content areas. The recently added page share feature will work great for collaborative tour planning. Thanks y’all!! 🙌🏻
