8 of 25I have been using the app for about 10 years and it used to work great. Past year it was unable to download data from the servers. I had to purchase again which means it is not free of recurring costs.
I can’t believe I did not have this app sooner, as an outdoor enthusiast I have experience with many of the navigation apps like Gaia, AllTrails, CalTopo and more. This app works great in the backcountry and is intuitive.
Does not have correct names of mountains in NM
It is impossible to download all of the offline map data at once, even after checking iDevice storage and having the full amount of storage available. Why display the entire map if you cannot download it all to view on-demand?
One of the best apps, simple and easy to use. With a small one time fee. A mountain enthusiast's dream!
Have used this app for years and enjoyed it. Recently it’s just not picking up on any mountain range unless it’s very close. Pretty much useless now even after updating the necessary local regional files.
I liked this app, but it has thought I was in Ireland for several years. It won’t update my location and wants me to step outside even though I’m 40 miles from a structure.
Kudos to Peakfinder! I’ve been using Peakfinder for nearly 10 years and it has always excelled at identifying peaks for me whether I’m in Maine, Colorado, Wyoming, wherever. Recently the old version that I had installed failed because it was no longer supported. Fabio Soldati of Peakfinder responded promptly and provided a free update. I really appreciate this since not all developers stand by the original purchase when it has “aged out.” Thanks, Fabio!
