Ratings and Reviews
Simple, beautiful, powerful
I wish all apps were as good as this. The design is simple, yet clear and easy to use (sometimes minimalism makes it harder). I had been struggling with a free app with (supposedly) similar functionality, mainly due to the steep price (pun intended :) of this app. I finally decided to pay up, and within about 1 minute I was absolutely delighted and wishing I’d bought it months ago. The compass correction and zoom mean you can truly align the app display with your naked eye viewpoint, making it easy to see which peak is which along a crowded range. The visibility distance setting, which realistically “fades” the mountains out from the limit of your visibility is another classy design touch, with which this app is full of. I’ll let you discover them all yourself. Now I’m off to look at more mountains!
Does what is says
This is a beautiful app that does exactly what it says. The interface is clean and simple, and the other functionality and options are easy to identify and understand. Of all the apps I’ve downloaded over the years this would be my favourite, an example of how to create a specialising but solid tool/reference/entertainment with great aesthetics and excellent usability. This is money well spent, a credit to the developer.
Very impressed by this app
This is an exceptionally well executed app, essential for bushwalkers, travellers and anyone who looks at a mountain and asks “I wonder what the name of that is?”, “I wonder how high that peak is”. It works as it should. Unlike most apps in this genre it is pay once, there are no in app charges.
I had an issue with saving annotated photos, the developer was very responsive and cleared it up. If only all apps were like this
