Ratings and reviews

Better than most with room for improvement. Its hard to read outdoors because it's black and white with whisper thin lines and tiny text (would be nice if text could magnify). The field is view doesn't precisely line up with what the eye sees. You have to try to first find a peak you can match up then go from there. My biggest criticism is that the silhouettes of the peaks are a bit lacking in detail so for example clearly jagged peaks look quite rounded in the app making them harder to ID.
