A nice app but could use a filter
The camera feature is great for areas that don’t have many mountains, but using it in the Pacific Northwest makes it incredibly difficult due to the number of peaks. The app could really use a filter feature, for example hiding mountains over 50 miles away, less than 2500 feet, etc.
I searched for this option on the app and couldn’t find it. If it’s there, they could make it easier to find.Show lessThe Drunk Viking

these functions are already there. check out the slider control lower left and select the eye icon for adjusting the visibility of distance and elevation.What I’ve always wanted - in app form!
I’ve been a very satisfied Peak Finder user for many years. I’m usually one to write reviews, but this app is cool that I want to.
So many times over the years I’d sit on a mountaintop, staring out at a vista, and think “wouldn’t it be cool if the mountain names could just pop up above the peaks??”. Peak Finder does just that! It’s really pretty incredible that I can carry this technology in the palm of my hand out in the wilderness. You can also take photos with the labels on them, and even get the names of further off peaks by zooming in on the saved pic later.
If you love the outdoors and maps, do yourself a favor and get this app! Also, the price is low and worth every penny.Show lessThinkinWrinkle
The app doesn’t recognize direction properly
I have to keep adjusting the view that the app provides with my finger because when I move the phone around it doesn’t show the actual mountain. It’s actually somewhere in the back not where it supposed to be. I did the compass calibration many times and it doesn’t help if I am in the area that I’m not familiar with. I have no clue what mountain am I looking at only if I’m sure of the mountain, then I could adjust the view by swiping left or right to show the correct peaks. This is an iPhone 14 pro max.Show lessSonicmixmaster
