## What is AR AlpineGuide?

Point your iOS device at the mountain and you'll see the name, altitude, and distance of the mountaintop.
You can identify the names of all the mountain peaks in the 360-degree panoramic AR view.
All features are free to use.
Thanks to your support, we have reached 2.5 million downloads across all platforms, both domestic and international.

Features
- It has data from nearly one million peaks around the world.

- It uses three-dimensional coordinates and a gyroscope to display the name at the peak, even if you tilt the camera. The display makes it easy to check.

- The three-dimensional terrain is displayed semi-transparently, so it is easy to compare it with the actual shape of the mountain and check the location of the peak.

- When you point your iOS device downward, the view switches to a 3D view looking down from the sky.

- You can check the names of the terrain and mountains that can be seen from any location specified on the map.

- You can take a photo with the name of the peak and share it via SNS or email.

- Swiping the AR display up, down, left, or right allows you to adjust the position of the peak name display.

- It is possible to adjust the position of the peak name display after the picture is taken.

- You can import photos taken with another app and add the peak name.


※ If the direction is not correct (e.g. it always shows North), if your iOS device has a cover on it If there is a sensor in the case, please remove it. The metal or magnet on the cover may interfere with the sensor and cause it to malfunction.

### 1/5 — Achtung Crashs das IPhone komplett

*2026-08-24*

Die App scheint mir gefährlich zu sein. Zuerst crashed die App, dann lässt sich das IPhone (16pro) neuestes IOS nicht mehr bedienen geschweige denn ausschalten. Konnte es nur mit Hilfe eines Siri Befehls ausschalten, neu starten und die App dann entfernen

**Developer response:** Es tut uns leid, dass Ihnen Unannehmlichkeiten entstanden sind. Dass sich das iPhone nicht mehr bedienen oder ausschalten lässt, kann normalerweise nur schwer direkt durch die App verursacht werden. Könnte es sein, dass auf Ihrem Gerät nur noch wenig Arbeitsspeicher oder freier Speicherplatz verfügbar war? Falls möglich, bitten wir Sie, den verfügbaren Speicherplatz zu überprüfen.
