✓ Does not recognise old photos - without GPS metadataPurchased this app to recognise mountains’ profile on some old photos (as the description on the website promises), however, this does not work unless the digital photos contains GPS metadata. Too easy... Useless for me Update in response to developer: I paid £4.99 just to download it. Not free in the UK. Not sure abroad.Version: 3.9
✓ Pro 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..Version: 3.26
✓ Drains batteryNot as good as the preview, uses lots of the phone battery so not ideal to track or use in hikes. Phone heats us when app is open. Not worth paying for, would not recommend..Version: 4.39
✓ Completely inaccurateWhile using this, the app would change its mind about which peaks were which without me even moving the phone at all. when i did move the phone, it would tell me the same peaks regardless of whether i was looking east or west. maybe it couldn’t identify peaks because there were clouds behind them, or maybe it is just bad at WNC (I see someone else had issues around Mt Mitchell). Glad i didn’t pay for this lol.Version: 4.31
✓ CrapTried to use my once a day location. App crashes and told me I had to pay for pro to use the app. Yeah right..Version: 4.30
✓ Doesn’t work in my areaI love the detail and graphics but could not get the app to work. It had some of the right peak names but put them in the wrong places. For example the roofline of a nearby building was identified as Mt Guyot. Other major peaks like Quandary were nowhere to be found even when I had the camera pointed at it..Version: 3.33
✓ Will kill your iCloud backupNice app, but for reasons that escape me, the developers think they need to backup all data (approximately 840MB) to my iCloud account. Since I could presumably just download this data again if my phone was lost or damaged, I can only assume the devs are getting a kickback on the $ I now have to spend on extra iCloud storage. As one developer to another, here's a pro tip: just backup a description of what I have downloaded, not the entire download itself..Version: 3.7.4
✓ Missing standard featureGreat app, but missing landscape support. Only portrait mode is supported in the interface. While the app make “look” like it supports landscape mode, the interface demonstrates that the app still thinks of itself as only in portrait mode. This is seen with the startup screen and the subscription sign up screen... along with other visual components. Functionality is impaired on the iPad Pro 12.9 (3rd gen)..Version: 3.8.1
✓ Will not open. Crashes repeatedly.His concept is very cool. I spend a lot of time in the mountains and love identifying peaks. This will come in handy........if it will ever open. It crashes every time. It appears to be downloading some files to run and hard crashes. I have yet to use the app. I have an iPhone 6+. Would rate higher if it actually worked..Version: 2.1.4.1
✓ Waste of MoneyGreat idea... if it actually worked! The peaks, hills and tors it marks are never in alignment with where they actually are in real life so it’s completely useless and I want my money back..Version: 3.37
✓ I really want it to work!I downloaded the update and am running ver 10.2, it keeps crashing! I would love this app to work without crashing..Version: 1.0.1
✓ I DETEST SUBSCRIPTIONS!Please just figure out what a fair price is for the app (high or low) and I’ll pay it. I am overwhelmed with monthly subscriptions and will not buy anymore. I would gladly pay whatever you consider a fair price to own it. It’s getting out of control. Too bad because it appears that the full version is amazing. :( 9/4/21 Any consideration given to a one time fee? If you think people would be deterred due to the price I think you would be surprised. Of course you can keep the monthly/annual purchase option, but I want a one and done price. After spending a little bit of time with the free portion of the app I am sure it is worth whatever you would need to charge for a on time fee. Tanka for considering this request..Version: 3.76.1
✓ UnreliableCompass keeps changing making this app worthless..Version: 3.36
✓ Doesn’t workIt was completely off by a long shot, it was saying lasquetti island was little mountain on Vancouver island. Lol.Version: 3.61
✓ Free version is useless.I just want to identify peaks from a distance. When trying to calibrate the AR with my camera it shut off saying one location per day..Version: 4.8
✓ (Free version) “One location per day”?The app seems to work beautifully, but I would not have expected the “one location” limitation to lock me out during an hour’s loop walk around the Viewpoint neighborhood in Prescott Valley Az. I downloaded the “area data” before starting out. What’s a ”location”?.Version: 4.52
✓ Not working for meIt shows the mountains further back from the ones I’m looking at. It won’t label the ones closest to me. Very frustrating..Version: 3.42.1
✓ GarbageInsanely slow to load. It just sits on "composing panorama" for several minutes and then crashes. I'm on an iPhone 13 so it's not a slow phone. If you want to identify peaks from the passenger seat if a car before they go out of view, this isn't the app for you..Version: 4.27
✓ Black Mtns WNC“Just open the app and point the camera.” Sounds easy. I’m in the highest mountain range in the Eastern USA, the Black Mtns in Western North Carolina. I’m 4.01 miles from Mount Mitchell (measured with my Garmin GPS), the HIGHEST PEAK in the Eastern United States, and after nearly a dozen tries, this app has identified NOTHING, although it did indeed download the data it needs for this area. I can clearly see Cattail Peak, one of the southern sixers, from my property. It’s barely a mile away. When I aim the camera at Cattail Peak, the app provides no data whatsoever, even after adjusting and readjusting numerous times, as the user is prompted onscreen to do. After trying over and over, all day long, all I’ve gotten is crude line drawings of mountains. GPS data, yes, but no peak data whatsoever. Nothing. Zilch. Nada. The instructions, which I’ve read, reread and reread, over and over, provide no help whatsoever. Only brief and cursory explanations. Sorry I wasted my money..Version: 2.24
✓ Too slowToo much downloading time, too slow to identify peak, identifies peaks behind the one that I want and never tells me the one closest to me. Do not like this app. Will cancel pro version today - the same day I loaded the app. ( I don't see a cancel option anywhere in the menu. So now I have to waste my time trying to figure out how to get this thing canceled before I have to pay for it.).Version: 4.94
✓ App is good but maps downloader needs a LOT of workOn even the fastest connection downloading maps takes so long it basically is a useless feature. Either their maps/tile server has severely underprovisioned networks or there is a rate limiting bug. 10-15k/s at most for 1Gb+ is never gonna work. All other apps download at full speed, so it’s not my connection! This may seem like a small detail but the app is useless in the backcountry without offline maps!.Version: 4.37
✓ Free version limited to one location a daySubscription required. Free version is limited to one location a day..Version: 3.77
✓ Fine app but not free at allThe free version doesn’t show anything at all, only one location. You move 50mt and the app won’t show anything, asking you to upgrade to a 20 euros a month subscription. Waste of time.Version: 4.28
✓ Nice design, horrible executionI wanted to test this app to see if it’s better than the one I’m currently using. So I’m up in the mountains and I load it up. Takes a while to download and stitch the panorama. And then nothing shows up, at all. So I restart the app, and wait again, and then the outlines of the mountains are in the sky, like way up in the sky, and the horizon isn’t even level. Whatever I used my other app. So a couple hours later I try to give this app a second (third) chance, and it’s locked out! One location per day. Wow great job guys..Version: 3.12.1
✓ Would be good if it worksDoesn’t work that great. Mountains that I 100% know the name have the name attached way off course. And it does not work offline as described.Version: 4.32
✓ Would be PERFECT but...Love everything about this app except the way it updates. For some reason nearly every time I try to use it, it needs to update the data by downloading the vicinity. Of course this is always exactly when I’m on the trail without data or wireless available. This app beats the competition in about every other way by leaps and bounds so I hope they fix that!.Version: 2.9.4
✓ Difficult to useCumbersome… Very cumbersome to use. This is a very difficult out to use and continually wants to “download the vicinity“. I quickly grew tired of every single time I opened the app it wanted to “update“. It uses an outline type system that you have to line up with the peaks that can be cumbersome if you are at any sort of distance..Version: 3.71
✓ App crashes constantlyApp crashes constantly after about a minute of use..Version: 3.46
✓ Interesting but...Instantly kills my phone battery. Would have to take an external battery with me to be able to use this app..Version: 3.26
✓ FrustratingEver since I first got this app over a year ago I’ve been frustrated by it. It never works properly. It doesn’t take the photos in app with the silhouette over the proper spot even when I centre it perfectly. It doesn’t include many labels and sometimes the silhouettes move and sometimes they don’t. I feel angry every time I use it. Waste of my money..Version: 3.7.3
✓ Requires too many acess. otherwise you arenot allowed to use itHard to use.Version: 3.73
✓ Waste of timeI downloaded and opened, Matterhorn screen appeared and seconds later went black and shut down. I figured something happened during download, so I deleted and then installed once more. Same thing happened again. Total waste of time and data..Version: 3.60
✓ Money grabGreat app but just updated it and it’s now just a money grab app, I paid for it before this happened and I get a least a year thanks for that if had have known the dev was going to do this I would have not purchased it 🤬.Version: 3.7.2
✓ Way too expensive for pro version...Version: 4.8
✓ Would like to use manuallyMany would like to use the app manually with location services turned off, giving the ability to research and explore. This app is completely inoperable unless it is turned on..Version: 3.34
✓ Biggest mountain missingI live in the Blue Ridge area of N. Carolina and hike every day that it is fair out. It was very strange that the areas largest Mountain (Grandfather) was totally missing. Others were not in the right place comparing with geological maps. I hike Rich Mountain yesterday and it was missing altogether, even though it is the largest in the immediate area. I pretty much have given up on this App..Version: 3.12
✓ Did not work offlineWhile hiking in Colorado, I tried to use the app to name some peaks I already knew. Wanted to see how well it worked. Well to my surprise, I got an error message stating I didn’t have internet service, duh, and I would have to upgrade to the Pro version to work offline. So pretty worthless app in my opinion. Fix it and I’ll try it again..Version: 3.8.1
✓ Not workingDownload but it just turns my screen blank.Version: 3.30
✓ GreatI’ve been backpacking in the mountains for about 30 years using Maps then handheld GPS and phone enabled GPS, and I just added this product to my quiver. I really like it a lot. The core functionality is that it lets you superimpose the horizon line and the names of peaks onto your phone screen when you have your camera viewfinder enabled. This works well and I have learned the names of a lot of features that I have been looking at for years without knowing what they are called. You can download these photos with the labels on them. You can also upload a picture and The app will add labels— assuming the photo is geotagged. The final feature that I will mention is the virtual terrain mode, which allows you to “see over” ridges. All this has really added to my understanding of the mountains that I backpack in southern Idaho. Highly recommend..Version: 3.34
✓ Free version is uselessIt worked once at my home. I waited a few days to try a new location since the “one location a day” paywall came up. Can neither load in a new location or determine what location is being used as it won’t load at home any more either. It’s just a bricked app now with no functionality asking me to pay a cup of coffee every month. I don’t drink coffee. And I don’t believe in never ending subscription models without any guarantee of new services..Version: 3.29
✓ So far, so good! (Edited 3/8/18)Downloaded the app, open it and the screen constantly flickers. Apple should offer refunds for apps that are junk and purchased from the App Store. If I could give this 0 or negative stars, I would. *updated 3/3/18* I downloaded the latest update and so far the app is working very well..Version: 2.1.4.1
