Avalanche Search app instead of a beacon?

Smart Phone App for avalanche rescue instead of a beacon? Don't even think about it. Just read a paper by James Floyer of the Canadian Avalanche Center who reviewed these apps. They are flawed and not recommended.

Please read the report that the CAC will release. Offers some great information on why the apps should not be used in place of a beacon.

This is one of the apps that was reviewed.

Thanks to the CAC for this great review and thanks to BRP for bringing it to my attention.

Without even opening this post, I read the title and said to myself "no flippin' way would I ever trust some app for some stupid smart phone to save my life". Get the real deal!

Thanks for posting this Mike.

Test video for the Snøg Avalanche Buddy, The beacon app. for your smartphone.
Download the app at: https://play.google.com/store/apps/de...

The test shows a search case with the phone beacon in the backpack. The search is done with another phone equiped with Snøg Avalanche buddy. You see a minimum deveation when digging up the bag.
