Meh
why isn't this a feature
Pretty sure I paid $5 to download this, got partway to the top of a 14er, spending my apparent one use a day without a membership so I couldnt use it a couple hours later at the top. Why did I pay $5 in the first place.
Seems like junk to me

In the middle of the colorado rockies, it misses most peaks. Leader lines between names and peaks are grossly misaligned. Names are too small for anyone who needs reading glasses to read. Try again, folks. Even near Vail, between Sawatch and Gore ranges, this app was pretty useless.

I downloaded this app and find it very nice, but considering it is a paid app (4.99) it is overly restricted. I used the app in the morning on the Grand Tetons, I moved locations with a different view of the Tetons and the app indicates I can only use it from one place a day, and I have to upgrade to the pro version for 30 dollars annually, which is unacceptable. Thanks for reading.
Doesn’t work in my area

I 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.
Would like to use manually

Many 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.
Great

I’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.

This app was giving me the names of peaks that were 400 miles from where I was in Colorado. It’s not easy to read either. I just had a rough time with it.

We are having a problem with the peaks moving around a lot, so not to accurate. Adirondacks
Too difficult to read

I have the free version. The mountains came up but the print was so small I couldn’t read it.
