Amazing tool for learning the mountains
Robbo Mon
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.
Biggest mountain missing

I 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.
1 use a day?

Only one use a day before having to pay $23/ year. Not too happy. Hard to tell how this is working b4 I pay other then the reviews.
Nice design, horrible execution

I 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.
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.
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.
