  • Great App

    This is highly useful for Landscape Photography and Hiking interest and outdoors nature enthusiast. I live around mountains and on rare days when there is clear skies I like to be in the sunlight during the winter and that’s hard find. The app tracks where the sun and moon are from any point you choose geographically. You can easily plan where the rise or set alignment of those celestial body’s will be relative to land features around your point selection. If you wish to share a live landscape photo with the peaks labeled you can do that, and for long thru hike trips you can locate which peak is which in the far distance, and this is also useful for map navigation . If you’re cleaver you can use your screen video record to show the peaks labeled live as you pan the horizon. You don’t need internet connection while using this app.

    When it works, it’s good. Takes forever to ping my location. Data is frequently off by 20 degrees or so when it finally does pull up the right map. For example, I will point it at a known peak and it will tell me I am looking at the next peak over.

  • Perfect

    This app does a great job of presenting a large amount of data in an accessible manner. I’m amazed at the detail they have. I never knew several of the smaller hills and lower peaks on the mountains around me had names. I appreciate the links to where they got that data as well. On that note, the only thing I can think of that would make it better is the ability to add the local names of peaks. It’s a bit jarring to see peaks you’ve climbed a hundred times and looked at every day with names you’ve never heard of.

  • Great App but

    Great app but I really find the interface confusing. I stumble through getting an overlay on a camera view, taking a pic and saving it to my camera role. It seems tha camera blanks out or the MT Range traces disappear …. When it works it is great. I also Hate the way it loads data. I am in Sicily now with limited Data access. I visited Etna, and even though I downloaded the data when I had wifi and was a few miles away, the app wanted to download data. I said “no” . It asked me again. I said “no” It asked me again……. And even though I said NO over and over it continued to download my data and used my entire roaming allocation. That ruined my day as I lost access to google maps etc.

  • Nice app & feature request

    This app works well and is fun and interesting. One feature request would be to add a setting for a compass ‘offset’. My device has a bogus compass that I cannot calibrate properly (tried many things short of buying a new phone) and if I could just add in a correction factor that would be great!

  • I want to love this app

    This app is simple, easy to use and is often updated. It is a quintessential app core to my best apps.
