  • Excellently executed app

    This app does a great job of presenting a large amount of data in an accessible manner. I’m amazed at the detail they have. I never knew several of the smaller hills and lower peaks on the mountains around me had names. I appreciate the links to where they got that data as well. On that note, the only thing I can think of that would make it better is the ability to add the local names of peaks. It’s a bit jarring to see peaks you’ve climbed a hundred times and looked at every day with names you’ve never heard of.

  • Great App but

    Great app but I really find the interface confusing. I stumble through getting an overlay on a camera view, taking a pic and saving it to my camera role. It seems tha camera blanks out or the MT Range traces disappear …. When it works it is great. I also Hate the way it loads data. I am in Sicily now with limited Data access. I visited Etna, and even though I downloaded the data when I had wifi and was a few miles away, the app wanted to download data. I said “no” . It asked me again. I said “no” It asked me again……. And even though I said NO over and over it continued to download my data and used my entire roaming allocation. That ruined my day as I lost access to google maps etc.

  • Nice app & feature request

    This app works well and is fun and interesting. One feature request would be to add a setting for a compass ‘offset’. My device has a bogus compass that I cannot calibrate properly (tried many things short of buying a new phone) and if I could just add in a correction factor that would be great!

  • I want to love this app

    This app is simple, easy to use and is often updated. It is a quintessential app core to my best apps.

    This is a fantastic app!! As another reviewer said, it’s a joy to use. I pull this app out constantly while hiking and I know all the peaks that I can see in my area now. I love this app!! Can’t recommend it enough!

    Got this because I live in central California right by the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range off of the 99 and 5 Freeways. Where I am at, you can see the string of 14ers, starting with Mt. Langley. The app does NOT detect any of them. Also, was just on the 97 in NorCal with Mt. Shasta literally hulking right next to me on the Freeway. No dice!!! It did not detect it. It has only ever picked up little mountains that you are close to. I thought maybe I was too far away, but when I was right next to Shasta and the app didn’t detect it, I was pretty much done with it.
