Ratings and reviews

Awesome. I love this app to death, I mostly make use of the default white mode, for me the photo mode is just finicky but I definitely think that could be my older phones compass' problem. Still easy and cool to take a picture and then line up the labels. The UI is awesome and the features are great. I also love the sun and moon tracking.

Great concept, though execution leaves much to be desired. Doesn't orient correctly, so you have to know what peaks you're looking at in order to figure out what peaks you're looking at -- which defeats the entire purpose of the app. This is a major flaw and therefore not worth the price of admission. Wish I could get a refund. Running on Google Pixel 7 Pro and this is the only app using GPS that can't orient itself correctly.

This app is amazing. Beautifully rendered, 3D views (change the viewing angle), lots and lots of mountains listed. It's as accurate as your phone's compass can be when you hold it up rather than flat. I have no idea why anyone would complain about any aspect of this app, it's solid as a rock and does exactly what the description says it does. Definitely 5 stars.
