2018-12-01
Hello winter, it’s great to have you back! We know you’d be disappointed if your favourite ski and snowboard tracking app didn’t have a gigantic new update lined up for 2018/19 winter season. And this is without a doubt our biggest and best update yet. So huge that we’re calling this version 2.0.
So without further ado, we’re stoked to reel off some of the amazing new stuff we’ve been working on for the new season:
Friend FindAR
We’re thrilled beyond excitement launch Friend FindAR – our augmented reality friend finding feature. You don’t have to be a cartography expert to find your friends anymore. Your iPhone screen will act as your eyes and will show you an arrow pointing straight to the direction of the friend you’re looking for. We’ll tell you how far away they are, the altitude difference between you both, and we’ve even added other cool stuff like their GPS strength and iPhone battery life.
Lightning fast leaderboard loading
Behind the scenes, we’ve made some improvements to our code, and now the leaderboards load times are now 25 times faster than they did last season.
Emergency SOS calls
Here at snoww, we’re all about having fun and not taking life too seriously. But while there’s a lot of enjoyment to be had while skiing and snowboarding, there are also some real dangers on the mountain. And while we hope you’ll never have to use this feature, we’ve added voice activated SOS calls in case you’re ever in serious trouble.
Let’s say you’re trapped in an avalanche. In this situation, you’re advised to move your arms in a swimming motion to create an air pocket and give yourself more breathing time. When the avalanche settles and you stop moving, your wrist should hopefully be located near your mouth with enough oxygen to keep you alive for the time being. Without wasting too much of your precious air, you can now use your voice to trigger an SOS warning to your Apple Watch, and snoww will send a text message to your emergency contacts. This will let them know your exact location on a map, heart rate, the time you made the call, and other information about your situation.
Vehicular detection
We’ve improved our GPS tracking algorithm to automatically detect any “skiing/snowboarding” that was actually recorded in a vehicle. This will stop those pesky cheaters/forgetful innocents from topping the leaderboards for distance and maximum speed.
Leaderboard integration into Groups
We’ve improved our Groups feature! Now you can access your Group’s leaderboard directly from the Group page, instead of going through the leaderboard filters.
Improved privacy features
Get rid of your unwanted stalkers! Remove followers by swiping right on their name on your 'followers' page.
Improvements to the tracking screen
See your live latitude and longitude coordinates, current elevation, and GPS strength straight from the tracking screen. A couple of subtle, but super effective additions to the screen you’ll see while skiing.
View a map of your tracks in real-time
See your tracks drawn out on the map before you’ve even ended the activity for the day. This makes it much easier if you’re looking to venture out to new parts of the mountain, but not quite sure where you haven’t been yet.
Heart rate graph
Have you used Apple Watch to record your activity? If so, you can see a graph showing your heart rate throughout the day on the graphs section of your activity page.
snoww is now available in 54 languages
We’ve added 23 languages over the summer, bringing our total to 54 languages. That’s even more than the most major apps like Uber (41), Twitter (33), Facebook (31), Instagram (29), Snapchat (22), Spotify (20), Strava (12), and waaaaay more than other ski tracking apps like Ski Tracks (9), Snocru (2) and Slopes (1 lol).

- Vehicular detection
We’ve improved our tracking algorithm to automatically detect any “skiing/snowboarding” that was actually recorded in a vehicle. This will stop those pesky cheaters/forgetful innocents from topping the leaderboards for distance and maximum speed.
- Automatic upload
While it's quite common for users occasionally forget to turn off tracking on their journey home, we've also seen a couple of you forgetting to turn off tracking for days, sometimes weeks! To combat this, we’ll automatically upload all sessions that have not had any new activity in 6 hours, meaning at worst case, your activity will upload to snoww overnight.
- Leaderboard integration into Groups
We've improved our Groups feature! Now you can access your Group's leaderboard directly from the Group page, instead of going through the Leaderboard Filters.
- Force touch snoww icon to start tracking
For a really quick way to start tracking, just force touch the snoww icon on your home screen to start.
And this is just the beginning. We have some exciting new features planned in the upcoming weeks and months.
