Non credo sia complicato ### 4/5 — Geile App! *2023-09-17* Hat mein Leben verändert. ### 5/5 — App *2023-07-04, version 2.7.0* Ottima App ### 5/5 — 👍🏾a couple of suggestions 🧭🎨 *2023-05-17* 🏔️🗺️ this app is simple but clever. I'm hoping it's going to help me with the drone I'm about to buy. It's just fun otherwise. I think it needs a compass. This shouldn't be too tough to add. Also the color scheme 🟦🟩 for the elevation is pretty…garish -- maybe you could eventually give some user options. ### 5/5 — Best one so far *2023-05-08* Great for finding a high point in your area ### 5/5 — Lifesaver *2023-04-14* I used this app to find out the highest ground closest to me that I could evacuate to. That was above the expected flood height when the Oroville Dam spillway incident/failure occurred. ### 5/5 — Radar Daddy *2022-07-22* Gotta have that radar thing all the time. Great service and platform. ### 5/5 — Muy util *2021-08-12, version 2.4.0* Muy útil ### 5/5 — Buenísima aplicación *2021-04-13, version 2.4.0* Súper rápido y da la altura sobre el nivel del mar en tiempo real una maravilla ### 4/5 — gute Idee aber zu wenig Informationen *2021-02-12* Die App gefällt mir sehr gut. Es fehlt aber die Ausgabe von Informationen, die ohnehin schon für die Darstellung vorhanden sind. Wie z.B. Angabe von Entfernungen und Höhen im Profilschnitt, Angaben von Koordinaten der Höhenpunkte und vielleicht auch die Genauigkeit der Höheninformationen. Dies könnte z.B. in Tabellenform erfolgen. Zumindest in der Kaufversion wäre dies zu erwarten. Das wäre meiner Meinung nach dann auch 10€ Wert. Sonst ist die App nur ein schönes Tool zum anschauen. ### 5/5 — Höhe *2020-12-30* Messung ist perfekt. ### 5/5 — Gute App mit Wunsch nach mehr *2020-11-10* Als Funkamateur benutze ich die App für Richtfunkstrecken vorherzusehen wegen Hinderung durch Berge und Wälder (Gigaherz Wellen verhalten sich ähnlich wie Licht). Normalerweise benutze ich „ Sig Trax“ App welche leider nur auf Handys aber nicht auf Ipad funktioniert. Der grosse Bildschirm ist mir aber viel lieber. Diese App ist hier die Lösung. Leider reichen mir die 5Km nicht immer aus. Daher der Wunsch nach 50Km Radius und vielleicht noch die Grad Anzeige als Kompass auf dem Bildschirm. Ansonsten tolle voll funktionierende App. Läuft super auf IPad Air Lob an die Entwickler. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Discussed *2019-04-26* I’m in the woods and want to know what elevation it is. It says no internet. Yes you idiots I know the elevation where I live. I want the elevation of the mountain I happen to be on. ### 1/5 — No funciona sin internet *2018-10-19, version 2.4.0* No funciona sin señal de internet móvil ... por lo menos debería marcar los metros distancia ### 1/5 — malfunction *2017-11-07, version 2.3.0* this app is not working anymore on my device after i update it. ### 1/5 — Poor value for money *2017-07-14, version 2.2.1* 500m range restriction might be ok for free version but paid version is still restricted to 5km. A bit lame. All other aspects of the app work well ### 1/5 — Held to ransom *2017-03-17, version 2.2.1* Didn't appreciate having paid for the app to have the features I paid for only unlocked if I connect to facebook and recommend the app which I will never do. I want my money back or the full features. ### 2/5 — My paid for app disappeared *2023-04-29* I’m happy to pay for good products I paid for the upgraded version of this app The developer literally removed it, changed the name of the version which literally does nothing new now I am required to pay again Please do not support developers that use this kind of business practice I would have communicated with customer support directly but as you might imagine there is no means to contact this developer. I don’t blame him for hiding from any response to this scheme. **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback. I released a new version for the old Terrain Radar app. With that you get the upgrade for free in the new app. In case you have more trouble feel free to contact me at support@terrainradar.com ### 2/5 — Graphic *2018-04-16, version 2.4.0* I'd wish the terrain looks more interesting and involving to me ### 2/5 — Scoutmaster *2013-04-29, version 1.1.2* Very limited view. To increase distance have to buy another app. ### 3/5 — Gut aber verbesserungsbedürftig *2025-09-28* Die zugrunde liegende Karte ist satellitenansicht. Die wahlmöglichkeit einer standardkarte mit Ortsnamen oder einer Karte mit Geländeinformation wäre hilfreich zur Orientierung ### 3/5 — Einfache Bedienung aber leider zu ungenau *2019-10-24* Moin, die App ist einfach in der Bedienung und das Design mit dem Umgebungsradar finde ich gut. Aber leider für meine Zwecke trotz guter Verbindung zu ungenau da bei meinem Standort jeder Meter wichtig ist. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Bewertung *2026-05-25* Zuverlässig, praktisch, immer wieder gerne ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-05-19* Super helpful in identifying obstacles in vhf/uhf operations ### 5/5 — Tam doğru program 🙏 *2026-02-07, version 2.8.0* Teşekkürler, 🙏 ### 5/5 — Rando *2026-01-24, version 2.8.0* Très bon service ### 5/5 — Top Höhenmesser *2025-09-23* Super Höhenmesser mit Klasse Geländeanzeige! ### 5/5 — Excelente *2025-04-23, version 2.8.0* Bueno lo recomiendo ### 5/5 — Parere *2025-04-12, version 2.8.0* Ogni volta che ne ho avuto bisogno e ho usato l’applicazione, non ho avuto mai alcun problema, imprecisione e o non visione. Buon lavoro ### 5/5 — Yükselti ölçer *2025-02-10, version 2.8.0* Her telefonda bulunması gereken bir uygulama ölçüleri doğru ### 5/5 — Recomendada *2024-10-24, version 2.8.0* Excelente plataforma, muy precisa ### 5/5 — Bewertung *2024-08-26* Super Sache !
