## What is Summit, Hiking Log Peakhunter?

Peakhunter (peakhunter.com) is the premiere Digital Global Summit Log. 
The Peakhunter App only lets you create an entry while standing on a peak. That proves that you have climbed it (GPS location, time stamp). Write about your experience and let other fellow hunters know about the conditions; take photos and share them with others on Facebook.
Conveniently keep track of all the peaks you have ascended.

The app works WITHOUT a cellphone network! It only uses GPS to confirm your exact location.
You can download all the peaks for a given country. That makes them available offline (when you have no internet).

We have over 300,000 peaks in our database. 
Mind you: There's no source for accurate positions of all the peaks in the world – yet.
We want to change that by harnessing crowd-sourced GPS data.
Help us build the most comprehensive database of peaks on the planet!

If you find a peak that does not exist or is in the wrong place, create a new one. All newly created peaks will be verified by us and other users.
All peak logs can be browsed on peakhunter.com. 

Get Started
1) Install the App 
2) Register an account
3) Climb a peak 
4) Log it! 

This service will be constantly updated with new features.

The Peakhunter service is free.

### 5/5 — GPX hochladen

*2026-08-08*

Finde die App richtig toll! Einzig die Funktion nachträglich einen GPX hochzuladen um sich noch auf Gipfeln eintragen zu können, als man die App noch nicht hatte wäre wirklich klasse. Hätte so noch einige Gipfel und „Erstbegehungen“ mehr.

### 4/5 — Needs more peaks adding

*2025-01-08*

Good app but needs more peaks and summits adding. Would be useful if it had rock climbing routes as well. Maybe if it collaborated with Rockfax or UKC or UKH for a more comprehensive database. Hopefully as more people use it, it will build up more.

### 5/5 — Super App!!

*2023-06-09*

Edit: es gibt doch die Möglichkeit Gipfel nachzutragen! Somit fünf Sterne Verdient!
Vielen Dank für die Antwort!

Ich würde sehr gerne meine vergangenen Gipfel eintragen. Leider geht das nicht. Somit macht die App leider wenig Sinn für mich. Wenn es dafür eine Möglichkeit gäbe wäre klasse.

**Developer response:** Gibt es. 🙂 Und zwar auf der Website. Einfach auf peakhunter.com gehen dort alle direkt erfassen.

### 4/5 — Leider keine Möglichkeit Freunde hinzuzufügen

*2023-03-09*

Alles in allem eine gute App die mir persönlich sehr gefällt. Mit vielen guten Ideen. Jedoch gibt es eine Sache die mich stört: 
- man kann leider keine Freunde hinzufügen um sich gegenseitig zu pushen, wer grade mehr Touren und Gipfel macht. Das finde ich sehr schade, denn man hätte damit eine weiter kleine Motivation. 

Für einen Sammler ein muss, nur schade das deine Freunde deine Sammlung nicht sehen können…

### 4/5 — Where are topo maps?

*2022-10-31*

The US map is no longer topological. I miss the elevation lines and other information besides peaks, such as mountain range names. Was this change on purpose?

### 5/5 — Great app

*2021-07-02*

This is a great app for recording summits!

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2020-10-10*

War am Anfang skeptisch aber im Endeffekt top App

### 5/5 — Schöne Gipfelbuch App

*2019-10-31*

Wird über die Jahre immer etwas besser. Offline Funktion weiterhin sinnvoll, einfach nett gemacht alles.

### 5/5 — Brilliant app

*2019-09-28, version 2.10*

Just what you want to remind you of your achievements! Used this app for a long time now. Log peaks all over the world. Great little app 😁

### 4/5 — Jetzt weiß ich auch wo ich bin ;-)

*2019-09-27*

Prima APP
