  • Incredibly Fun App

    PeakFinder is great fun and never fails to impress friends and strangers! The developer adds sensible new features that keep it current and relevant, but not bloated. For example the ability to take annotated photos or to chose a viewpoint anywhere in the world from a map.

    Don’t hesitate on this one, highly recommended.

  • Almost epic

    Amazing. Been using got two weeks, most days and can say it’s a really helpful and fun tool for adventuring. The app shows info of already named peaks and would be better if there were a way to get details on additional landmarks.. ones I chose
  • Inaccuracies found

    Purchased app based on great reviews. However, it has problems with accuracy and completeness.

    Used familiar territory around Vail/Beaver Creek as a test. Some peaks like Mount Jackson and New York Mountain correctly identified. Gold Dust Peak towers above everything near it, yet it does not show as visible. Other peaks listed as visible are certainly not. Some peaks 30-35 miles away are mis identified. Compass and GPS working fine on my phone. Overall disappointed with my purchase.

  • Keep asking download more details map

    Why can’t you just download fully detailed map in the beginning rather than keeps asking us when there is not signal. How do you know there is more detailed map without signal? Why can’t you give us a choice to download fully detailed map? I don’t really understand the logic of developers.
  • So Much Fun and Helpful

    I’m really enjoying this app. A friend recommended it to me and I’ve spread the word and recommended it to many of my friends. No matter where we are I can find out the names of the mountains around us. We are going to Idaho this summer and I can’t wait to use PeakFinder out there. Really a good app.

  • a joy to use

    I rarely write app reviews because so many apps of a geographical nature are very close to being awesome, but tend to be overpriced, lacking in some basic and obvious feature, or have some major glitch. I’m frequently disappointed, but don’t want to discourage developers. In designing a home, this app has succeeded where a dozen other highly technical apps have failed, to give me quick information about features on the landscape, their general appearance and orientation. The camera is intuitive and the function to adjust the position of the features to match the camera view very easy to use. Not only is this useful in a practical sense, it is fun, and I find myself opening it up all the time to better understand my landscape. Please don’t change the essence of this app! It is great as it is.

  • Needs work

    After selecting a view location, not my current location, at every step my selected location is discarded for my current location.

    It needs a ‘lock’ option, so for planning and using the app to its fullest. But after using the map to select s view location it should remain the view location.

    Otherwise it’s super cool. Lots of potential.

  • Always needs to download area and there is no service

    every twine i want to use this app I get somewhere and the app wants to download the area but there is no service. Is there a way to pre-download the area data? A common place to use this app will be when you’ve gone somewhere that there is no service.!? Even when returning to a place i’ve used the app successfully before it will want to download again and it can’t leaving me not able to use the app.

  • Amazing!

    PeakFinder is such a cool app. The recent updates have greatly improved it from the older buggy versions.

    I would still like to have the ability to download multiple regions at the same time or have an easier format for downloading other regions that you plan to visit.
  • Mountains in Turkey near Fethiye

    My friend tells me the one I would like more info on is called Nif mountain. I’d be happy to share a photo and label it, but I cannot figure out how to do so. This app doesn’t name the three smaller peaks I’m curious about... alas, not as much help as I wanted 😕... but perhaps an improved version is on the way..?
