Hiking & Skiing - PeakVisor for Positive User Reviews
✓ Great Concept!The updates to the app have really helped, and I've had really good luck identifying peaks along the Sea to Sky. I always got them confused before, even looking at a map, so this is really nice. I have trouble getting it to recognize mountains when there are things between me and them, at the base. Buildings throw it off, but it still makes a good attempt. When I've got nothing extra in between, it works great! I'd still like to be able to use photos without turning the location on for them, but I get why it won't. Definitely working better than before, and I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes from here! --- Original review (2 stars): App shows every single mountain in a general direction as a point. I'm in Vancouver, it's showing me Stawamus Chief... in Squamish, an hour away. I definitely can't see it from here. It doesn't seem to matter how close or far away, it's not giving me what's in front of me. The photo recognition doesn't accept any jpg photos I have as being valid file types. And the instructions aren't helpful at all. Honestly, this app sounded so good, but I regret spending money on it. Wait until they get this working before buying it..Version: 2.0.6
✓ Excellent app and great funI'm a little obsessed with mountains and mountain names and can't always work out the peaks around me when I'm hiking. This app solves that! Tried it out in the Pyrenees and Scotland and both times it worked a treat. Well worth the money..Version: 1.5.0
✓ Best app for hikingI love the hiking trail interface of this app and the extensive database. Allowed me to explore little known trails (and amazing view points!!) in Norway that I otherwise wouldn’t have the confidence to. Some of these spots are hidden right beside popular tourists spots with 100x the views and literally two or three people on the entire trail. Hope the dev team will continue to expend the database of trail and viewpoints and other hiking features (a better ar trail map overlay maybe?). Great job! Most valuable app I ever paid for..Version: 3.33.2
✓ Major Midwest USA Improvements (20 May 2023)Able to find watershed lakes, rivers & streams plus outdoor recreation biking & hiking trails. Seems to synchronize with online PeakVisor Portal via Safari Browser using iPadOS 16.5 … Unable to access or delete simulated 3D Flyover videos..Version: 4.64
✓ Great, butToo expensive for occasional use. Would like to see a second, paid app released for something like $9.99 and an annual fee of $3.99. Until then will stick with Maps 3D.Version: 3.24
✓ Awesome uptil the updateInitial experience from months ago superb, failing to provide consistent menus and improtu professional recommendations are ignorance of what I wish to achieve.Version: 3.70
✓ An exceptionally useful tool!!An excellent app for learning the names of visible mountains in your vicinity. The app is easy to use and offers an outline of the peaks you’re viewing that can be moved and aligned with the camera image of the peaks to accurately position the labels on each mountain. If you live near mountains, this is a must-have app. It’s intuitive to use and saves photos of the peaks you label for review later. The only drawback is that the free version can only be used in one area per day. If you’re moving through several locations in a day (e.g. driving for an hour or more through several sets of mountains) you need to subscribe to the Pro version of the app..Version: 3.13
✓ Wonderful, 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..Version: 3.16
✓ What a fantastic appI am a keen hillwalker in Scotland and this app has been amazing to use so far. In particular being able to import older photos and see what mountains are in the photos is just priceless. Also, the developer is one of the most kind and courteous people I have ever contacted, he has responded to all my questions extremely quickly, than you Denis!.Version: 3.4
✓ Accurate & beautiful (and fast)I saw an ad for this app while checking out PeakFinder Featured Story (kudos to your marketing team ;-) and I am sure glad I did! Its a really well done app, which has all the features I want packaged in a beautiful and simple UI..Version: 2.4
✓ Incredible App, does what it says on the tinI am very impressed with this app. Incredibly powerful...amazing..Version: 3.4
✓ Works greatI used the app when backpacking in Yosemite Np. It showed names and detail of all the peaks that appear in my real time camera and even some peaks that were behind objects. Of course I had to download offline data of Yosemite region before hand. Overall I think the app deserves 5 stars because It helped me a lot in backcountry.Version: 2.10
✓ Fantastic thanksCheers.Version: 2.22.1
✓ Brilliant!I am in Nepal and found that PV easily detects the peaks around me. Some of the guides are not clear which peak is which. I live in Western Australia and expect PV to be equally good at detecting named peaks while out bushwalking - even though not snow capped! The backup from the developer when I was having issues in Nepal without a local SIM card was second to none. Thoroughly recommend..Version: 4.87
✓ Great appThis app has managed to tackle some really interesting obstacles. In order to get the right information in the right place. This app could easily cost more then it does! It’s a major value add to my life here in Colorado!.Version: 2.10
✓ AwesomeWorks great! This is a must-have for any mountain enthusiast. Albeit it does not suffice for a quad map or good gps, it does provide great information and pinpoint location of peaks. I am told that next version is in near future with more great functions. Hint to developer: I would like to see glaciers added. Also a function to mark peaks that I have achieved with dates and notes. This would be a great peak-baggers journal!.Version: 2.12
✓ Great hiking app!!If you have ever been on a hike or been anywhere that there is a view of mountains in the distance this is an awesome app to help you properly identify surrounding peaks. I have not used it yet for orienteering or mapping out hiking routes but I would think would be incredibly useful. I emailed the developer with some follow up questions and they responded right away which is much appreciated. You can download regional maps so that you don’t need to depend on active connectivity which is definitely required when you are off the grid. If you are always staring at the horizon and wondering what mountain or hill is the distance then this is a must app for you!!.Version: 4.64.2
✓ Great app!I love this app! It is quick and easy to use and gives detailed info either in real time or with photos. Tech support is awesome and gives one to one service. Recently had a bug and the support was tenacious and persistent in figuring out the problem. I highly recommend..Version: 4.59
✓ AmazingA really well thought out and clever App..Version: 2.12
✓ Love itWe have lots of mountains around here. Always wondered what the names of the peaks were. Love that you can use it offline or on pics you've taken. :).Version: 2.0.1
✓ Great app!Mind-bendingly cool app! Feels magical to see the topography of any place you stand on earth outlined and labeled. Adds greatly to my enjoyment of hikes in the Olympic an Cascade mountains. Definitely worth spending the time to get to know the features. Email support was super responsive..Version: 2.23
✓ Fantastic Application!Just love the application. We live in a mountainous area and it’s wonderful to have this tool. It also very much enhanced our experience on a recent trip to Glacier/Waterton Lakes and Grand Teton National Parks. Unbelievable how much capability we have in such small devices these days. Great job to the development team!.Version: 3.5
✓ A ‘must have’ for road trips.When you just follow unexpected signs to a National Park and end up surrounded by unfamiliar mountains, nothing else will do..Version: 5.0
✓ Invermere BCBeautiful absolutely beautiful. Thank you.Version: 3.35
✓ It’s a cool app!This app is really useful, not only when hiking up in the mountains but also when just driving around. It labels the mountains wherever we are, even above the cloud. It’s a cool up..Version: 3.12.1
✓ The world of mtb thanks youThis is the most incredible app. It’s been years since I’ve downloaded an app with this much detail and accuracy. An app worthy of the price..Version: 3.82
✓ Good apps to learn and he mountain peaksGood apps to learn and he mountain peaks. Could improve to have bigger labels with the names of the peaks, eg by zooming in or touching the label..Version: 4.37
✓ Amazing!I’m really impressed at how well this works. And the fact you can use it on your photos too is incredible. Just use it sparingly while you’re out and about as battery can drain away really fast..Version: 2.6
✓ Excellent Route MappingFantastic app - currently midway through a walk across Europe and PeakVisor has been my loyal companion the whole way..Version: 4.1
✓ Utah travelerI am on vacation in Southern Utah and said, “wouldn’t it be nice to know what mountains and geographic features I am looking at?” Well guess what, questions answered. Thanks to the developers for such an amazing app. Could not be happier! Even used the teleport feature to go back to park I have already been, and identified mountains that I wondered about. Great product!.Version: 3.6.1
✓ Great toolThis is really a wonderful tool. It’s still evolving so it will only get better. The user interface is not instantly intuitive — for example, the great 3D hiking/terrain maps are displayed by double tapping the compass. Who’d have thunk to try that? But already a great travel companion. I haven’t really used it in the field yet but have high hopes based on test usage so far. I’m optimistic for steady improvement..Version: 2.21.1
✓ Head to the Hills⛰️The navigation, on the spot coordinates and remote, teleport feature, fly-overs and photo imports oh my! The best part is the thousands of peaks to discover. Where will you go next? Easily navigate trails today! Thanks Denis!.Version: 4.79
✓ Amazing tool for learning the mountainsI 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..Version: 3.8.1
✓ Fantastic ApplicationI absolutely love this app. Great for those hiking in a mountainous area they’re unfamiliar with and also great for more interesting photos with the augmented layer showing in the background..Version: 3.15.5
✓ Issue resolvedAfter initially having some tech issues the developer reached out to Me and the issue had been quickly resolved..Version: 3.28
✓ It’s Like Magic!Very Cool App. I’ve been doing these mountain identifications for years in photos using Google Earth and painstakingly going through a manual process. Now, I just get them all label automatically with nice labels and detailed information. It’s like Magic!.Version: 4.68
✓ We found the mountainWe were at an observation tower and saw a mountain and wanted to know which one it was. The app helped us find it in like 5 mins and it was free and pretty easy to figure out. We found Sugarloaf Mountain..Version: 4.36
✓ Work in progressI think this is a fantastic concept it just doesn’t work in practice. It’s a bit glitchy - getting alignment with the hills for example. I’ve tried using this on the hills - and it’s tried to download the vicinity whilst on top of the mountain, another time I tried to navigate down a hill using the path show on the map - but it was difficult to get the map fixed in one place so I could follow it - it then drained my battery very quickly. I like the idea of checking in. But overall I don’t see the value in paying for it in its current state. Maybe once it’s a bit more user friendly I’d be willing to try again..Version: 3.44
✓ Great app!If you love mountains, peaks, valleys, creeks, etc. and hike a lot, this is the app for you. I use this app along with other apps like all trails and google to find new parks and hikes. I like the travel logbook feature as well. Great app..Version: 4.7
✓ Awesome for Peakbaggers!I’ve climbed nearly 40 mountains, just climbed my first with this app on my phone. It added so much to the experience. I can look around and get a bearing on exactly where I am and what I’m looking at, as well as what is over the next hill that I haven’t been to yet. Just Great!.Version: 3.8.1
✓ If you’re a hiker/geography nut, you’ll love this app.I love this app. I use it all the time on hikes. If you’ve ever wondered, “hmmm... what is that mountain over there” you’ll like this app. I’ve downloaded all the mountain ranges that I frequent. It helps me have a better idea of which mountains I want to climb and where they are in relation to myself. Great app!.Version: 3.53
✓ Great and useful appI love Peakvisor. I hike in the Adirondacks, and I’m never quite sure which peaks I can see from my location. Peakvisor makes it easy! The developer is very responsive; I asked a question and he replied in a few hours. A great app, and new features are added frequently..Version: 2.15
✓ Amazing appThis app is the best app I’ve ever used. It works so well for showing walking routes as well as for being able to point it at a hill and see what it is. I can’t recommend this enough..Version: 3.9
✓ Great visual appWell designed app. I really enjoy using it, especially now that I upgrade to the pro version. Only complaints are I can only select 1 gpx file at a time to upload (tried from phone, tablet and web browser, all have that restriction) which is a painfully slow waste of time. And I experienced crashes on a base model iPad..Version: 4.71.2
✓ Fun to use and awesome customer serviceLove knowing the peaks and additional info for where I live and when we camp. I noticed one peak’s height was incorrect, so I emailed the developer and he responded within a couple of hours and fixed it!.Version: 2.10
✓ Wow.Totally amazing app. if you are into hiking or just like to look at the horizon, this is a must have. try it; the app will sell itself..Version: 4.28
✓ Happy for now!Had a 1 star rating because of the subscription change and thought I’d be losing offline access in a year. The developer made it clear, via email, that nothing changes, at all. So, for now, 5 stars. Great app, always love using it while out in the woods!.Version: 3.7.1
✓ No adjustment for grid/magnetic northGreat app except there seems to be no adjustments for magnetic to grid so absolutely everything is shifted 20 degrees sideways so in fact the hills and graphic are barely visible on the same screen. If you can’t adjust this is pretty pointless..Version: 2.12
