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.

Great app

Responsive developer!

Flat line

I opened the app and it gave me a flat line, eventually it did work but it was confusing in the Lake District to identify what was what. I feel the graphics need to vastly improve with colour and being more defined to distinguish the different peaks.

Disappointed

This works well for simple horizontal shots, but is much less impressive whilst amongst the fells / mountains. The outline is often above the actual view point and it fails to give proper perspective, meaning you will not be able to distinguish peak tops easily and often - with similar looking peaks - you’ll need a map anyway, which defeats the convenience. I ended up just reverting to my map and ignoring the app. The OS app (before they removed this functionality) was much better at this.

Finally

Finally an awesome affordable app that I want to own and that you only pay for once 😁✨ I was out in Eryri today and someone pulled out their PeakFinder app and showed me how it worked. I was very impressed. It’s practically magic especially as I’m constantly looking at the mountains in the distance trying to figure out which ones they are. I was so excited that I had to get it for myself. Thank you 🙏

Brilliant App

I emailed a question re: the sunset calculations (which use the centre of the sun FYI, for eclipse viewers) and got a fantastic response in less than a day. Great app, great dev. Well worth the money.

Possibly the best app in the world

I don’t really ever write reviews, but I’m making an exception because this app means a lot to me. Not just for what it does - though it does that very well - but also for its general philosophy. It is a paragon for digital products everywhere, a small clear spring in a fetid swamp of subscriptions, adverts, poor design, and bloat. You pay a small amount once, and receive, forever, a tool that is both useful and pleasurable to use. It’s like a good knife, or a well-designed pencil sharpener: you’re not going to need it all the time, but when you do, it’s there and it works, and the experience of it working is aesthetically and functionally beautiful. Thank you to the creator of this app for providing some hope in a dark world.

Geklärt

Kann seit dem letzten update Fotos nicht mehr speichern: nach dem Auslösen des Fotos passiert gar nichts mehr. Geklärt: es dauert manchmal 10 Sekunden, bis das Foto erscheint. Das hatte ich nicht erwartet

Response from developer

PeakFinder speichert die Fotos innerhalb der App (über das PeakFinder Menu ‚Fotos‘). Wenn dort wirklich keine Foto mehr erscheinen melden sie sich bitte direkt bei mir unter info@peakfinder.com.

Great app but missing one thing…

I love this app but I wish I could plot GPS coordinates so I can see where that point is in the distance.

Génial !

Je l’utilise beaucoup. Grace à lui j’ai pu choisir avec précision le lieu où observer l’éclipse solaire de 2026. Suggestion : ajouter l’heure de lever / coucher (en option) pour les planètes.

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.

Great

offline,small app but world peaks data

Ein Muss in den Bergen!

Wie oft steht man auf irgendeinen Gipfel und versucht verzweifelt, auf der Karte herauszufinden, auf welchen Gipfel man blickt. Die App funktioniert absolut zuverlässig auch offline! Ich nutze sie praktisch bei jeder Bergtour.

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
