What's New in Peaks USA

3.5

November 3, 2026

• Compass off? Drag left or right to line the peaks up with the mountains. Tap the badge to reset. • Zoom in up to 2.5×. • Smarter labels: the peaks that stand out most from where you are get labeled first, labels no longer overlap, and they stay put as you look around. • Crowded skyline? Tap a peak's flag to show its label, or tap a label to make room for the ones behind it. • Labels now show distance, and nearer peaks appear larger and bolder.

User reviews

Simple and easy to use

Great simple little app. Quickly answers my constant “what mountain is that over there?”questions while out hiking.

Woks well without cell service.

Horrible

Only shows some peaks

Crashes at launch

Sticks as soon as it comes up . So far I’ve never got it to work

US peaks, where is Alaska?

Not all US states included.

Only worked once for free state.

Only worked for free state. Once I bought the full version it says the other stare maps are Available Offline and restore purchases doesn’t work. Big disappointment.
