Amazing!
I love PeakFinder! I live in the country and am surrounded by a ring of mountains. Thank you Fabio Soldati!!

Having trouble
My friend showed me this app and it worked beautifully but I have downloaded it and it doesn't seem to do anything. It doesn't identify any peaks and none are named. I'm not sure what to do

Awesome app, but no UTM/MGRS
This is a really well put together app. My only gripe is that there’s no UTM or MGRS coordinate support (lat/lon only).
This be amazing just so I don’t have to do the conversion myself to more easily use the app in land navigation.

A great way to learn about the landscape around you!
I love the way peakfinder helps me to learn more about the landscape around me, and thus feel more at home in it. Anyone who enjoys spending time exploring the great outdoors would find outstanding value in this product - totally worth the very small one-time fee for downloading it. Great stuff!

One of my favourite apps
I had this app for years and it’s one of my favourites. I’ve used it all around the world, often far from cell service, and it’s never let me down. ‘What mountain is that?’ Cue PeakFinder. Download the map for where you’re going and you’ll always know what you’re looking at.

Excellent app
Very versatile, works flawlessly, the photo overlay is great.
2023-09-16
Amazing app
Solves a lot of debates about which peak is which. Excellent thing to have in the bush.
2022-12-29
Superb
Great for helping me document my own hikes, and makes me feel safer by translating information on map/GPS into the real world

Amazing app
I use this in real life and with Microsoft Flight Simulator as I fly along the Himalayan region. It has given me profound knowledge regarding the names and various contours of mountains and over all landscape from many angles.

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

Amazing App
Makes it easy to identify any mountain peaks from any viewpoint in the world!

Ok
Sometimes good but misses some mountains 😞

Essential mountain running tool
If you love alpine adventuring, PeakFinder really is one of the best apps you’ll get gold of. Great navigation and discovery tool and a unique photo album.

Simple and easy to use
A very simple and easy to use app. A small map download covers most of southern Australia.
This App should win Apple’s design award. It takes a reasonably complicated tool and makes it so simple and elegant. The care and attention to detail is extraordinary.

This app
Good app once you get used to it.Sometimes it has trouble finding the peak you are pointing at but
reorienting compass cures that,

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.

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!
2018-03-30
Fascinating app.
Minimalist interface with powerful capabilities behind it.
It was well worth the $8 to hear my wife’s delight when she jumped the viewpoint to peaks she’d visited and 'looked around'. 'Oh, Mount X, Mount Y, oh I definitely remember Mount Z!' She’s an old bushie re-visiting places she fondly remembers and loving it. Thank you.
Excellent work.

The app I've been looking for
I've often said to my husband or trail running/hiking buddies, there should be an app that I can just hold up to the horizon and it uses the camera to work out what mountains you're looking at. Well this app uses GPS rather than the camera and it's amazing. From your home base you download the maps (which covers about 1/5 of Australia, in my case) and then it doesn't use data at all while you're out, just GPS location. I've been wanting an app like this for ages, and now I have it!

Brilliant
This app is awesome. Easy to get going and astonishingly accurate. And the outline-only graphic design simply works.
