Description
See what mountain peaks are around you simply by pointing your iPhone at them!
Using augmented reality, this app is fast and smooth, displaying information about the peaks near you. Position any peak within the cross hairs to see useful information, including peak name, height, distance from you, and also the difference in height from your current altitude.
Even if some peaks are behind others Peak Scanner still allows you to get details on them (shown in grey).
You'll find Peak Scanner a much better experience than other apps of this type:
- fast, smooth display
- no finger taps required - just point and get instant results!
- worldwide coverage (unlike other apps that make you pay for each country)
- does not require any mobile signal - all the peak data is inside the app
Peak Scanner includes data on over 500,000 mountain peaks all over the world. Whether you're in the Alps, the Lake District, or The Rockies, Peak Scanner is your ideal travel companion.
You'll never need to ask, "What's that mountain over there?" again.

Ratings and Reviews
Good idea, poor execution.
I'm 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.
Obs
Poor app. Waste of money. Even make it very difficult to review. Don't recognize known mountains in plain site HUGE battery drain Want refund
French??
Amazing that my app annotated in French. Have never found a way to set preferred language. Consequentially I don’t have a clue if it’s displays are valid/accurate. Net = useless
