Splendid App

The ability to both identify peaks in the moment and photograph them with labels for later makes this an essential hiking companion. I originally purchased this app when I had an Android and would have gladly paid for the app again given how much I enjoy it. When I switched to iPhone, the developer was gracious enough to give me a free download code though. I would recommend this phone to any hiker, traveler, or person who isn't perpetually bound to prairieland.

以下の改善要望に対応して頂けると更に便利になりますのでご検討願います。

・マップオンラインの階層が深いのでメイン画面へアイコンボタンの配置
