Leave a Review Hiking Maps
  • Waste of money

    You have to download maps before you loose cell phone signal, then if you hike more than 20 miles you dont have maps for your new area. I often had problems of the app not finding the Largest Peak in a range or in a further range behind closer hills. Not worth the money and i was more frustrated with it always not having maps. Only useful if you are in cell phone range with a single peak to id.

  • Great visual app

    Well designed app. I really enjoy using it, especially now that I upgrade to the pro version. Only complaints are I can only select 1 gpx file at a time to upload (tried from phone, tablet and web browser, all have that restriction) which is a painfully slow waste of time. And I experienced crashes on a base model iPad.

  • It’s Like Magic!

    Very Cool App. I’ve been doing these mountain identifications for years in photos using Google Earth and painstakingly going through a manual process. Now, I just get them all label automatically with nice labels and detailed information. It’s like Magic!
  • Great hiking app!!

    If you have ever been on a hike or been anywhere that there is a view of mountains in the distance this is an awesome app to help you properly identify surrounding peaks.

    I have not used it yet for orienteering or mapping out hiking routes but I would think would be incredibly useful.

    I emailed the developer with some follow up questions and they responded right away which is much appreciated. You can download regional maps so that you don’t need to depend on active connectivity which is definitely required when you are off the grid.

    If you are always staring at the horizon and wondering what mountain or hill is the distance then this is a must app for you!!

  • Great app!

    I love this app! It is quick and easy to use and gives detailed info either in real time or with photos. Tech support is awesome and gives one to one service. Recently had a bug and the support was tenacious and persistent in figuring out the problem. I highly recommend.
  • (Free version) “One location per day”?

    The app seems to work beautifully, but I would not have expected the “one location” limitation to lock me out during an hour’s loop walk around the Viewpoint neighborhood in Prescott Valley Az. I downloaded the “area data” before starting out. What’s a ”location”?
  • App is good but maps downloader needs a LOT of work

    On even the fastest connection downloading maps takes so long it basically is a useless feature. Either their maps/tile server has severely underprovisioned networks or there is a rate limiting bug. 10-15k/s at most for 1Gb+ is never gonna work. All other apps download at full speed, so it’s not my connection!

    This may seem like a small detail but the app is useless in the backcountry without offline maps!

  • We found the mountain

    We were at an observation tower and saw a mountain and wanted to know which one it was. The app helped us find it in like 5 mins and it was free and pretty easy to figure out. We found Sugarloaf Mountain.
  • completely inaccurate

    while using this, the app would change its mind about which peaks were which without me even moving the phone at all. when i did move the phone, it would tell me the same peaks regardless of whether i was looking east or west. maybe it couldn’t identify peaks because there were clouds behind them, or maybe it is just bad at WNC (I see someone else had issues around Mt Mitchell). Glad i didn’t pay for this lol

  • Garbage

    Insanely slow to load. It just sits on "composing panorama" for several minutes and then crashes. I'm on an iPhone 13 so it's not a slow phone. If you want to identify peaks from the passenger seat if a car before they go out of view, this isn't the app for you.
