Very Helpful

I live at the foot of the northern Rockies in the United States. I’m just outside of Glacier Park. So I have had plenty of opportunities to use this app. I love it because it answers the question I most often have, "What mountain is that?". You would think it would be enough to have good maps, but looking at mountains from the side is a lot different than looking at a map. And it’s often hard to tell what mountains I’m seeing in the far distance between an opening in mountains that are close to me. This takes care of all of that.

Amazing

This app is a brilliant use of public topologic data and the interface is simple and intuitive. Congratulations to the dev here, it’s rare that a niche is filled so masterfully.

Wasn’t Working- Had to Buy Again

I have been using the app for about 10 years and it used to work great. Past year it was unable to download data from the servers. I had to purchase again which means it is not free of recurring costs.

Doesn’t work

App crashes every time I try to download information

Perfect for what I need!

Does what it claims to do! There’s no ads and it doesn’t try to sell you anything else.
