## Most critical reviews (5 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-10-06*

Doesn’t work. I’m in Alps and the closest peak is 2500km away..

### 1/5 — Don't buy

*2016-11-05*

Doesn't work 

Nothing shows up in lake district uk. ViewRanger released a free tool the same day as I paid for this non working app. Gutted

**Developer response:** In order for the app to work properly you need to:
- Choose the relevant zone in app preferences
- Enable the geolocation in settings - privacy
- Enable the camera in settings - privacy
- DO NOT lock the screen rotation

### 3/5 — Needs an update

*2025-01-05*

Can’t download geographical areas and therefore can’t see any mountains.  Being a free app can’t really complain though

### 4/5 — Missing the big mountains

*2017-08-21, version 2.5*

The app is really good for identifying the smaller peaks but from the middle of Puget Sound in Washington state, it does not identify Mount Baker or Mount Ranier, the two most prominent peaks. I suspect that they are too far away so the software ignores them. Would be better to have an algorithm that calculates the curvature of the earth and the height of the peaks to determine what is visible.

**Developer response:** You can adjust the distance range in which to show mountains pins.
Use the rule icon to modify the distance range.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2023-02-17*

Now I know what the peaks where I live are called  after two years without answers.
