1. 5/5What I’ve always wanted - in app form!

   I’ve been a very satisfied Peak Finder user for many years. I’m usually one to write reviews, but this app is cool that I want to. So many times over the years I’d sit on a mountaintop, staring out at a vista, and think “wouldn’t it be cool if the mountain names could just pop up above the peaks??”. Peak Finder does just that! It’s really pretty incredible that I can carry this technology in the palm of my hand out in the wilderness. You can also take photos with the labels on them, and even get the names of further off peaks by zooming in on the saved pic later. If you love the outdoors and maps, do yourself a favor and get this app! Also, the price is low and worth every penny.

2. 3/5Great 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.

3. 5/5Great App

   This is highly useful for Landscape Photography and Hiking interest and outdoors nature enthusiast. I live around mountains and on rare days when there is clear skies I like to be in the sunlight during the winter and that’s hard find. The app tracks where the sun and moon are from any point you choose geographically. You can easily plan where the rise or set alignment of those celestial body’s will be relative to land features around your point selection. If you wish to share a live landscape photo with the peaks labeled you can do that, and for long thru hike trips you can locate which peak is which in the far distance, and this is also useful for map navigation . If you’re cleaver you can use your screen video record to show the peaks labeled live as you pan the horizon. You don’t need internet connection while using this app.

4. 5/5Very Helpful

   I live at the foot of the northern Rockies in the United States. I’m just outside of Glacier Park. So I have had plenty of opportunities to use this app. I love it because it answers the question I most often have, "What mountain is that?". You would think it would be enough to have good maps, but looking at mountains from the side is a lot different than looking at a map. And it’s often hard to tell what mountains I’m seeing in the far distance between an opening in mountains that are close to me. This takes care of all of that.

5. 2/5Not very user friendly

   My friend bought a peak finder app for her Droid based smart phone and I was so impressed with it that I had to get one for my iPhone. Sadly the one she has is not made for the iOS software. So I got this one. Two major flaws I’ve noticed: -It’s often inaccurate and you have to line it up manually. This requires you to match up their line drawing with the mountain range you are trying to place. This can be a little ambiguous and has left me feeling less than confident in knowing for certain which peak is which. -Second major flaw, you can’t just snap a photo of the peaks and their names, you have to do a screen shot. That requires pushing the power button and home button simultaneously. Doing that requires two hands and readjusting one’s position. I can’t simply pull my phone out quickly, point and shoot. I have to stop, make sure I have two hands available and then do a screen shot, which is a bit trickier for me to pull off while trying to hold the phone up and hold it steady. My excitement for this app disappeared quickly after purchase. I’d actually like to return it if that was a possibility.
