About this app

Some days you can't tell from the window whether the mountain is out or that's just bright gray sky.

Mountain Visibility Forecast is an independent app made by MileCheck LLC. It is not a government app and does not represent NOAA, the National Weather Service, USGS, MET Norway, the National Park Service, the FAA, or any other agency.

Open this and it says one thing: IT'S OUT, PARTLY OUT, or NOT TODAY. Under that, the reason. Cloud height over you, whether the summit is in cloud, how far you can see, whether wildfire smoke has drifted in.

Eight mountains. Mount Rainier and the Olympics from Seattle, Mount Hood and Mount St. Helens from Portland, Mount Baker from Vancouver and Bellingham, Denali from Talkeetna, Mount Angeles from Port Angeles and the Strait, and Mount Baldy from Los Angeles. The app picks the nearest, or you pick.

The answer is computed, not collected.…

Arithmetic on the stores' own published rating counts. It says nothing about why the ratings fall where they do.

Version 1.2.14 · 2026-10-17
Five-day forecast. The later days are drawn in six-hour steps and say so. Public webcam images on the Now screen. NPS, USGS and FAA cameras for Rainier, the Olympics, Mount Angeles, St. Helens and Denali. ODOT cameras for Hood. A Caltrans camera for Baldy. A photo of the mountain on the Now screen for seven of the eight mountains, public domain and credited. Mount Baldy, read from Los Angeles and six other places. Chinook Pass, Sunrise and Paradise read the forecast at their own elevation. Pick one by name, or stand within two miles of it. Yakima, Olympia, Tacoma and Everett read Rainier along their own line of sight, with their own sunrise and sunset. Mount Baker: viewpoints around…

Method and limits

What this report can and cannot show

What a missing label means

Not yet tested. No analysis has been published for this app, so there is no method to describe for it yet. A missing label is not a clean bill of health: it means nothing has been read, not that nothing is wrong.

Limits of this report

  • A package scan is static. It identifies code and text in one Android build. It does not measure a live ad session, test a deletion request, or count the steps needed to cancel.
  • Reviews keep their sample. A review-only charge shows distinct reviewers, the share and the sample size, and is published only once it clears that label’s published threshold. Calibration labels are machine-drafted and not yet confirmed by a person.
  • Not assessed is a state. It is never a zero and never a pass.
  • A missing label is not a clean bill of health. It means the evidence did not support one, not that the app is problem-free.
Not yet human-reviewed. A human review gives an app hands-on, recorded measurements. None has been run for this app. Hands-on inspections are not yet open.
