Peak Scanner App Reviews

Very good!!! Congratulations

Poor app. Waste of money. Even make it very difficult to review. Dont recognize known mountains in plain site HUGE battery drain Want refund

Absolutely useless. As I sit in Georgia pointing at the local mountains, all of them report names in French unrelated to their real names

From our house I can see a 9,800 ft mountain about 30 miles away. The app doesnt pick it up even after adjusting the range option. It also indicates peaks that are not in the direction you point your phone. Ill try it from another location to see if the GPS will respond better but so far not impressed.

Ive gone through the settings several times, closed the app and restarted my phone. It doesnt recognize local peaks but it is showing dozens of peaks almost directly over my head. They all appear to be in the French alps. Its a little cloudy overhead so maybe theyre there and I never noticed them but I suspect thats not the problem. A friend has an app of the same name running on a different operating system and its brilliant. I had high hopes.

The app only opened long enough to get permission to use location, then crashed, and has never opened again! Quantaq said to delete the app and install it again. Made no difference whatsoever.

Peaks picked out hover over the landscape and jump around constantly. None of the peaks line up with what is shown on the horizon.

Works pretty good once you get the hang of it. Its in metric and I cannot figure out how to switch it to feet

Look no further, this app is great if you ever wanted to know the name or height of that hill or mountain. It also shows the line of sight distance to the top and other data. The best feature is it works inside a building when the mountain cant be seen or is obstructed. I use it on my iPhone 5. More feedback: To change to miles/feet go into your iPhone settings, scroll down to and click on the app. Turn off the metric measurements. The scanner defaults to English measurements.

This app does not work at all for me. It looks like the compass data does not get updated: it always reads -1degree N ( the normal compass app on my phone works fine). I love the idea - I wish it worked!

Works, but its not exactly accurate! Is usually one summit off either left or right. Was on a summit next to Mount Washington in the White Mountains and it was able to find all surrounding mountains EXCEPT Mt. Washington, The highest peak in the area. Work out the bugs, and it will be fantastic.

It doesnt work. Bad app. Should be pulled from the market.

Every time I tried to use this app the rate this app screen came up and blocked everything. So now that I have rated it maybe I can use it.

Always wanted an app like this

Sweet app, could use further distances out from the phone for use when you can see the mountains but are too fat away for the app to pick them up. Also, miles and feet units would be great for us muricans.

Not pleased. App lacks any sort of accuracy what-so-ever

Gives incorrect mountains most of the time and cant click on name for more info or picture. Only useful as a way to get a list of mountains in the vicinity to look up somewhere else.

Im in Portland, OR, and there are two (sometimes three) *giant* mountains visible. There are also a couple dozen "hills". This app shows all the close-in hills that no one knows or cares about, but completely ignores the huge, distant mountains. The peaks listed should be prioritized by apparent size, not by distance. And the distance should extend to at least 100KM, the usual limits of visibility.

Ten miles from Granite Peak, the highest point in Montana, and it draws a blank. Next peak over, same thing. Worthless.
