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.
