Not worth it

Too random. Just doesn’t really find the mountains.

Scam

A complete and utter scam. It doesn’t work. I should have read the reviews. I wish I could get my money back.

The app thinks I’m in a different country!

The app worked fine initially but since changing my phone it thinks I’m in France when I am actually in the UK, I can’t see any way to calibrate the app or to seek help!
Any help would be gratefully received

Very disappointed

Am looking at a very large hill and app not able to identify it even though am well within 200km range.
Money back please.

Obs

Poor app. Waste of money. Even make it very difficult to review. Don't recognize known mountains in plain site HUGE battery drain Want refund

Not at all accurate

I am 3 KM from the largest mountain in the area and it shows it in a different direction, the second largest it does not recognize
This is Switzerland - no good here

French??

Amazing that my app annotated in French. Have never found a way to set preferred language. Consequentially I don’t have a clue if it’s displays are valid/accurate. Net = useless

Not even close

Comically inaccurate.

A good app but room for improvement

Great App and works as it should. Will be perfect for finding hills when out walking!

Slightly disappointed after paying as still seems to show 23km max, even when set at full range. Thankfully a bit further then the OS Maps 15km range.

Agree with some others - be good if you could click the hill and open the OS Hill page or another site for information on the hill.

What a great app!!

Works great Loving the radar view! Didn't know u could adjust the range. just fab

This is the one for me!

I’ve tried a few apps of this type and I have to say, this is the easiest and most effective to use. No need for any signal. Just take your phone out of your pocket and point! Seems to know all the mountains round me wherever I go. Very pleased!

Disappointing

Really wanted this to work but it refused to show me anything other than small hills nearby. The settings are supposed to let you scan out to see mountains in the distance but this simply didn’t work, even when I set the ‘number of peaks on display’ to the maximum. It continues to only show me the weeny little hills in the near distance. Feeling duped.

It’s okay

It’s okay. You can limit range of search in terms of distance but not in terms of height. I’d rather just know tops above a certain height rather than a massive list of tops within a certain distance

Can’t get the location service to work

...so the app doesn’t work at all. A disappointment and waste of $,

In Colorado, but the App apparently isn’t

App is questionable. I live at 5,400’ altitude but app says 1,700’. Mountain out my back door is 14,000’ Mt Evans, but app thinks it is 5,000, and a peak in France. Aguille du Mudi is allegedly to the South of my house...how I wish.

Looking right at a mountain the app doesn’t see

I’m not happy with this app at all. I was looking directly at Mt Lemmon near Tucson AZ and the app didn’t see the mountain. I played with all of the settings and regardless the app would not identify the second tallest mountain in AZ. If I could ask for my money back, I would

Little trouble in Big Hawaii

I'm on the island of Hawaii and the app doesn't seem to be aware of Mauna Kea. It finds Mauna Loa okay but does not even show Mauna Kea even though I'm in Hilo looking right at it with the range extended all the way.

Garbage

Complete waste of money. Could not recognize peaks directly in front of us and close. Put peaks in the sky. Never been so disappointed in a app I was looking forwarded to using.

Love this app, although range setting may not be working

Very impressed with peak scanner app for identifying mountains. Works very well in the Denver Colorado and Rocky Mountain national Park area. However, the range adjustment may not be working. Even though I increase the range setting, Peak Scanner still does not show me the names of peaks that are further away. However, once I'm closer to that peak, Peak Scanner correctly identifies and names it. Very cool app. Thank you for creating it. Kurt

Bad app

This app is terrible. Gives you a completely different location then where you are.
