J'ai définitivement abandonner l'idée de l'utiliser quand, de plus, j'ai remarqué que les indications virtuelles ne sont effectivement pas correctement placées, un petit décalage aurait bien sûr été acceptable mais là c'est vraiment à l'ouest. Dommage. ### 2/5 — Un peu décevant *2018-08-25* Je suis en haute Savoie face aux montagnes mais l indication des sommets ne correspond absolument pas .L’erreur est facilement de 30 degrés malgré plusieurs étalonnage de la boussole sur un iPhone 8. Dommage car le reste de l application est bien faite. Une amélioration suivie d une mise à jour serait une bonne chose pour une appli payante. ### 1/5 — Untauglich, *2017-03-28* Habe die App in den Bayrischen Alpen ausprobiert. Ist das Geld nicht wert. Finger weg! ### 1/5 — À éviter absolument *2017-01-30* Apparement, ça semble marcher sauf si on connaît le nom des sommets autour de soi !!!! Il y a une imprécision telle que ça perd tout son intérêt !!! **Developer response:** la précision de l'application dépend de la précision du téléphone et de l'environnement (ça fonctionne en extérieur et loin des champs électromagnétiques qui pourraient perturber la boussole interne du téléphone). Ne pas hésiter à faire tourner le téléphone sur lui-même pour le calibrer correctement puis à cliquer sur "Rafraichir". Si vous n'êtes pas sûr que le téléphone (non l'application Sommets) est précis, comparez la boussole du téléphone à une vrai boussole et répéter les gestes de calibrage si besoin. ### 2/5 — l'idée est bonne mais... *2017-01-12* c'est une idée géniale, un aide qui pourrait ddevenir indispensable pour les baroudeurs connectés mais c'est malheureusement tres confus et imprecis. je ne regretterai pas mon achat si des mises a jours sont proposées dans les prochaines semaines. ### 1/5 — Kein Gipfel... *2017-01-06* ...zwischen Westl. und Östl. Karwendelspitze? Keine Zugspitze? Wem das reicht, soll's kaufen. Ansonsten: Hände weg! ### 1/5 — Trop imprécis *2017-01-02* Trop imprécis pour être utilisé. Tous les sommets n'y sont pas et ceux qui y sont, sont mal indiqués. Peut-on être remboursé? ### 1/5 — Décevant *2015-08-10* L'idée pouvait être intéressante. Se dire qu'en visant les montagnes face à soi on puisse en identifier les noms et principales caractéristiques. Dans les faits c'est du grand n'importe quoi ! Les noms indiqués ne se calent pas aux sommets. Bref c'est inutilisable...j'avais acheté cette appli car plusieurs hebdomadaires en avait fait la publicité...mal m'en a pris...Ne gaspillez pas le moindre € là dedans ! ### 1/5 — Ne fonctionne pas avec iPhone 4 !!! *2015-07-02* L'application ne s'ouvre pas avec un iPhone 4 !!! Achat malheureusement inutile !!! ### 1/5 — Yikes really needs better accuracy *2015-06-28* I have several star and planet finder apps that work nicely, so I figured this app would work just as well for identifying peaks in the Swiss Alps. Boy was I wrong! This thing is TERRIBLE at identifying peaks. Come on, developers, fix those algorithms! ## Frequently asked questions about Alps Peaks AR ### What is Alps Peaks AR?
