Perisher

This new app is missing key functionality: 1) you have to have GPS tracking turned on to record your runs, which kills your battery 2) you can’t have a group with your kids because they don’t have separate acccounts and an email address. 3) linking people by email address is a pain - a lot of friends you don’t have email addresses for Overall a massive downgrade, having removed the most useful features of the previous version, but hey at least I can see which random people I don’t care about have more vertical metres than I do.

We miss the tracking option. It was great to be able to catch up with friends and family. I lost my child once going down a run and it helped me find him...definately should be brought back

The new tracking is hopeless. It didn’t log several of my runs or lifts. Dashboard was so much better and user friendly. I don’t want to GPS track my runs, I was more then happy just using the card scanning.

Always great for an early morning check!

The app is a fantastic addition providing an abundance of information and options. Simple, easy to use and has great safety features!

The removal of the dashboard and replacement with GPS Tracking shows that Perisher have fundamentally misunderstood what the dashboard was used for. With the dashboard users were able to: - track their day without needing to do anything. Because it worked off ticket scans there was no requirement for a phone etc. now I have to remember to enable tracking when in the resort. - keep a track of friends or family members and where they were without them doing anything. - keep a track of children who may not have a phone or if they do it may be a hand me down with poor battery life so don’t wan to enable GPS tracking. - get a feel for queue size at lifts by seeing how quickly friends were lapping - and deciding whether or not to add to that queue my moving to a different resort area. - see consistent data - ie a lap of the Mt P Triple is counted consistently as 274m, vs the fluctuations with each run varying due to GPS inaccuracy. - view leaderboards by logging into my Perisher account. Leaderboards are now public, but to post and appear on the leaderboard I have to create an account specifically for dashboard - my Perisher account doesn’t work for this. - view over 10 years of history which is no longer accessible. Needing to use GPS tracking from the Perisher app also overlooks the fact that many customers were already using other apps (slopes, skitracks, strava, etc) to track their days - in addition to accessing the dashboard. While the Perisher app does offer the option to export to strava it doesn’t link into the many other apps out there - including ski specific ones. I won’t be stopping using Slopes for instance - particularly as it isn’t Perisher specific. I can use Slopes to track my skiing worldwide - not just at Perisher. While the explanation provided (data security/privacy) makes sense - looking from the outside it appears to be a cop out. There should have been effort put into resolving the security/privacy issues with dashboard so it could continue to meet the completely different use case to that offered by GPS tracking.

Bring back proper tracking!! Especially speed. And snow cams don’t update properly so hardly any reason to use app

The ap update which has removed years of activity is a disaster! You are now required to use it as a GPS tracker - draining battery & chewing data. Disappointing - when they had a fantastic ap that was easy to use that delivered meaningful information. Now it’s an e-comm site not an experiential ap.

I am sorry to see your old Dashboard turned off and replaced with nothing really. I’m not going to bother to use it. Not worth it.

Bring back the dashboard
