  1. 5/5Incredible detail

    I’ve used PeakFinder AR for close to 7 years (before there was decent AR) and only last summer decided to check out Peak Visor and wow. In the decade since early mountain and star identifying apps first made their appearance on the iPhone, apps like Peak Visor have taken the concepts and massively expanded upon them. For one, greater CPU power has allowed beautifully rendered graphics, and greater accuracy in the graphic overlay HUD that pops over the mountains. In Peak Finder, you had to open the “camera” function to see the tags over the actual mountains themselves which was a real pain. But even more incredible is the 3D map you can double-tap if you point your iPhone down. It’ll not only let you teleport anywhere in the world, but really let’s you explore topography that’s difficult to physically reach, with dozens upon dozen of mountain tags; even in the most remote parts of the British Columbia or south-eastern Al. You can also preemptively download vast swaths of the planet you expect to go exploring in before you arrive, so when you open up PV, it’ll instantly have a ton of data to give you. Coupling this app with Gaia/AllTrails and Google Earth has been real game changer for me, and even when I’m just driving down the interstate, if I see any mountains that catch my curiosity, I instinctively pull for this app. It’s become that integral to me. Perfect 5 stars, we’ll worth the cheap price.

  2. 5/5Amazing tool for learning the mountains

    I have been very impressed with the breadth and abilities of this app. It has become my go-to tool for learning about the topography of mountains in California. Many times before this app, I had wondered what mountains I could see. This app makes incredibly easy to find out. Before going on trips, I enjoy using the teleport feature to see the layout of the area. You can see relatively detailed images that give you a good idea of how your path will look from each position, so it’s useful for back-country treks where good trails aren’t available. The new 3D feature is very useful here as well. There are actually quite a few trails uploaded here too, so it is useful when you want to find the direction to a trail. Both live and picture-based landscape matching work really well. I appreciate the download zone option, since there isn’t always service in the mountains. The landscapes are surprisingly accurate, and all of the features are easy to use.

  3. 5/5Wonderful, but know that it uses a lot of data.

    Update: The developer has explained that the data is necessarily large but that it can be pre-downloaded at home to save data quota. Since that was my only complaint I've upped my rating to 5-stars. Users on a measured plan should understand that the the app will pull a lot of data in the field if it hasn't been previously downloaded. It really is quite amazing at identifying peaks - point and shoot! - and I feel bad about dissing it. But in 3 or so minutes, over a less than 30 degree segment of the horizon, it just blew through my - admittedly low, 100MB - entire monthly data allowance. This won't be a barrier for most people but those light-users on a measured plan, as I am, should know upfront: expect a hefty download to do what it does.

  4. 1/5Pro version required!

    Upon installing the application I was notified that I would need the pro version in order to locate peaks in more than one location per day. Seemed fair enough, I likely won’t usually need to use this more than once a day but I figured I’d sign up for a year membership if I enjoyed using the free version. I entered into the app to try it out and learned that I needed to download data for my vicinity, 130mb.. Seems like they must be doing something pretty inefficient to require a file that large for everywhere you go (and certainly makes it impractical if you have low cell service, like for example in the mountains lol) but I allowed it just to try it. While I am waiting for the information in my vicinity to download I am prompted that I have used up my one location for the day and must pay to view more. So essentially, I spent my free location for the day downloading unnecessary data (even though I was still in the same location lol). Pretty sweet! Looking forward to checking out other options or writing my own app for this.

  5. 5/5Fantastic App for Outdoors

    I purchased the lifetime subscription over a year ago and have since gone to hikes in the US, Norway, Sweden and Brazil. Last year I went on a two day trip over the mountains in Norway and we had our outpost with tent set up for the night. We then went out on a 6 hour excursion on foot over ice and harsh terrain. By the time we started to head back, it was already too dark to see the trail markings. Luckily, I had tracked the entire route from the tent, so we were able to return swiftly with no issues at all, using the app tracker. I highly recommend and give this app five out of five stars.

  • 5.100

    Emergency Assistant — the screen we hope you never need. The mountains are kind most of the time. But when something goes wrong - a twisted ankle at dusk, a wrong turn in the fog, a battery sliding toward empty - the next few minutes matter. Emergency Assistant is one tap away, works offline, and is built around what you actually need in that moment. • My location, ready to read out loud. Your coordinates in a format you can speak clearly over a crackling phone line - and share by SMS or message in one tap. • Call for help, anywhere. The right emergency number for the country you're standing in - plus mountain rescue direct lines where they exist. • Battery and daylight, at a glance. How long until sunset, how much charge you have left, and what to switch off to make it last. • Nearest shelter, fully offline. The closest mountain hut or bivouac from our database, with distance and bearing - no signal required. • Tell someone. Send your exact location to a trusted contact by SMS, even on a weak signal. • No cell signal? Step-by-step guidance for Emergency SOS via satellite, plus the international whistle code and ground-to-air signals. • First aid basics for the situations you're most likely to meet on the trail. We hope this screen stays unused on your phone. But if the day ever comes, it's there. Stay safe out there.

  • 5.101

    • Climbing POIs. Crags, boulder areas, ice lines and climbing gyms now appear on the map. Tap one for the rock type, grade range, climbing styles and route count whenever we have them. • Emergency Assistant, expanded. The right emergency and mountain-rescue numbers for many more countries, offline first-aid guides for the situations you're most likely to meet on the trail, your coordinates read aloud in both your language and the dispatcher's, and an offline map of the nearest shelters. • Steadier augmented reality. On the latest iPhones, peak labels and silhouettes stay glued to the mountains more tightly as you move. You can turn Visual Stabilization on or off in Settings. • New map styles. Switch between Satellite, Topo and National topographic maps from one place. • Trail posters now show the date you actually did the hike, not the day you made the poster. • Performance work, crash fixes and localization updates throughout. Stay safe out there, and enjoy the mountains.

  • 5.102

    • Smoother 3D map gestures. Tilting, zooming and rotating with two fingers no longer fight each other; the map picks up your intent faster and stays out of your way. • National maps, polished. The style card now names the right country near borders (looking at you, Sweden and Finland), map tiles refresh themselves when the source cartography is updated, and crossing into another country's coverage announces whose maps you're seeing. • More of coastal Norway. Local travel tips now cover 36 more destinations along the coast, from the Helgeland ferry ports all the way to Svalbard. • Stability. Fixed two rare crashes: one in Visual Stabilization on the newest iPhones, one when rotating the phone with a peak panel open in AR. Stay safe out there, and enjoy the mountains.

  • 5.103 · 24 Jul 2026

    • Find places faster. Search now opens right over the map instead of taking over the screen, and as you type it suggests handy filters. Tap "Mountain huts" or "Drinking water" and both your results and the map narrow to just that kind of place. • Local travel guides. Redesigned destination screens with the highlights worth your time and links to the official local guides, now covering many more towns and villages across Norway. • Emergency Assistant now speaks Polish. A full Polish translation of the emergency and first-aid guides. • Request the maps you want. Where an official national map isn't available for your area yet, you can now register your interest so we know where to add coverage next. • Smoother and steadier. A gentler camera flight to the place you picked, plus performance work, crash fixes and localization updates throughout. Stay safe out there, and enjoy the mountains.

  • 5.104

    • Get started in three steps. After signing in, PeakVisor now walks you through claiming the hikes you've already done, planning your next one, and saving the area for offline use. The first step reads only where your photos were taken — never what's in them — and turns past trips into logbook entries. • PeakVisor now speaks Turkish. Our fifteenth language, throughout the app. • Austria in proper topographic detail. The whole country now uses the official 1:50,000 series — contours, glaciers, rock detail, huts and marked trails. South Tyrol joins as our first Italian coverage, and Swiss maps reach further across the border. • Photo and fly-over video export are free. Save and share what you make, whether or not you subscribe. • Search that gets out of your way. Recent places are readable again, filter chips sit right above the keyboard, and tapping through to the full peak page works as it should. • Fixes throughout. Dates follow your language's own order and clock, Apple Health reconnects after restoring a device, "See in 3D" works from destination screens, coordinate searches mark the exact spot, and the menu reminds you when no maps are saved for offline use. Stay safe out there, and enjoy the mountains.

  • 5.105

    • Search by coordinates. Paste a latitude and longitude and PeakVisor takes you to that exact point and marks it, so you can always pin down a precise spot on the map, not just a named place. • Offline maps that actually finish. Downloads no longer stall or fail partway, and where they used to crawl they are now dramatically quicker. • Take as many maps as you need. The Offline Maps panel is rebuilt around free space: see what each region costs, watch the megabytes as it downloads, and clear out what you're done with. • Better peak labels on imported photos, so they no longer land on people. Photos taken outside PeakVisor now line up with the terrain properly too. • Denali and Mauna Kea in official topographic detail. The National map option now covers Alaska and Hawaii, and works offline like everywhere else. • Fixes throughout. A subscription that can't be purchased now explains why instead of leaving a dead button, saving a planned route completes your setup step, and the subscription screen reads correctly in Japanese, Korean, Polish, Slovak and Chinese. Stay safe out there, and enjoy the mountains.

  • 5.106

    • Local guides. Where a tourist board publishes routes, the place screen behind Your Next Adventure now shows all of them: difficulty, distance, climb, how long each takes, what it passes on the way, and the route in 3D. Filter by activity, and it reads properly in dark mode. • Photos in your fly-over videos come out upright, and in the colours you shot them in. Stay safe out there, and enjoy the mountains.

  • 5.107

    • Screenshots without the buttons. Take a screenshot in the 3D map or in AR and the editor offers a Full Page tab: the same view you framed, with PeakVisor's controls taken out. AR shots come out shaped for sharing, with the PeakVisor badge. • Drone photos import at the right scale. A 2× zoom shot no longer lands with the terrain at half size, and photos whose metadata only records the physical lens are no longer stretched to an impossible field of view. • Smoother zooming, with momentum kept where it used to be trimmed. • Fixes throughout, including offline map downloads that no longer stop partway. Stay safe out there, and enjoy the mountains.

  • 5.108

    • Completely reworked elevation gain calculator — more precise and reliable, just the way you need it to be. • Energy preservation techniques for longer hikes without a power bank. • Small UI fixes, smoother search, fewer bugs. Stay safe out there, and enjoy the mountains.

  • 5.109

    • A redesigned screen for the photos you import. The controls keep out of the picture, and turning your phone sideways moves them to a side panel so the photo gets the full screen. • Videos can be added to trail fly-overs again. • Fixes throughout, including video backups that no longer report finished before they are. Stay safe out there, and enjoy the mountains.

  • 5.110

    • Much sharper mountain terrain in 3D, rebuilt from high-resolution elevation data. More areas are added continuously. • Waterfalls, viewpoints, parkings and other smaller places you save to Favorites now appear in your Favorites list. Nothing you saved was lost. • Optimized 3D map rendering and numerous small bug fixes. Stay safe out there, and enjoy the mountains.

  • 5.111 · 4 Sep 2026

    • Route times that learn your pace. After a handful of your own recordings, the estimated time for a planned route adapts to how you actually move on climbs, descents and hard trails, hiking and ski touring separately. Off-trail ski touring climbs get an estimate for the first time. • Performance optimization, battery saving, and bug fixes. Stay safe out there, and enjoy the mountains.
