Outline doesn’t match peaks

Right idea. Wrong peaks.

Seems buggy

Nice idea and mostly works but now it is convinced the phone is 90 deg from its actual orientation and I can’t tell what mountain is in front of me. I think it’s just this app because mapping apps get the direction right

Really fun!

I love the mountains above my house . Having so much fun looking up their names

Labeling

Cannot get peak names ?

Great app

I can’t believe this app can provide so much information about the mountains surrounding me in the southwestern USA.
The only improvement I would like to see is the name of the actual mountain range not just the individual mountains.
Love using it though!

An app that does it all!

I got this app for finding peaks around me, but discovered by accident that it also tells you precisely when the sun and moon will be visible above a mountainous horizon - something I’ve been looking for without even knowing it! All sun/moon apps tell you when the they object will rise above the horizon without taking into account any geological features. I live in the Rocky Mountains and am surrounded by them so I would have to guess when the moon would be visible. I no longer have to guess! I can also pick a specific date, time, AND location to see where the sun or moon will be in the sky - it’s perfect! It doesn’t explicitly tell you when the moon will be full, but it DOES tell you the moon age, and it is always full at day 14.

I love watching the moon, I even go on moonlight bicycle rides. Now I have all the info I need to know when to see it on my planned ride. Thanks!

This works

This works. It is free. Tons of personalizable settings so you can change the interface display to your liking- perfect exactly what i was looking for thanks!

Waste of time

Absolutely not intuitive. It supposed to be point and click, but it’s not. Tutorial doesn’t explain anything.

No longer displays peak names

With the recent update when I pan and scan with my iPhone it no longer displays the peak names. I can search for specific peaks and it will point me there but that doesn’t help if I am trying to figure out what mountain I am looking at. Tutorial gives no help to solve this problem. It says I have downloaded the maps for the area I am currently travelling in. Previous version was much easier to use.

Steep learning curve, not intuitive

Language challenges, some screens not in English. Adjusting settings to get proper representation/ labeling of peaks hit or miss.
