by anonymGreat app. I would like to see font sizes and use of the camera / phone's image stabilization. 4/5

by anonymReagiert auf Bewegungen nicht. @desire 2/5
by anonymGreat app, would give 5 stars but it runs in the background constantly and eats power, won't shut down even with task manager. 2/5
by anonymTested it on two Galaxy Tabs, didn't work. Different troubles on both devices. 1/5
by anonymWould give 5 stars if: - show also cities, lakes, mpasses... - when rotating phone all peaks disappear at some constant position - deshake peak view 4/5
by anonymSchlechte Erkennung 2/5
ok, but wrong orientation by anonymon samsung galaxy s3: wrong orientation. Peaks shown in camera view are 180 deg. wrong. 3/5
Excellent by anonymExcellent app 5/5
. by anonymGreat idea, but position of peaks is very approximate and unsteady. Needs to be improved a lot. 1/5
Cant get data downloaded by anonymLooks like a great app but I cannot get the data to down load, also cannot contact builder to get help. 1/5
Great idea by anonymNot working so well on rooted evo 4g running ics 4.03. Screen is tiled so you can't see anything. 2/5
by anonymHad to manually download the db, note that when saving it the browser gave it a txt file extension that I had to rename back to sqlite. 3/5
by anonymGreat idea and useful execution. Wish that the unit settings worked for the peaks and not just the range function. Just a few tweaks away from awesome. 3/5
Just not doing the job by anonymOrientation is between 45 and 180° off, distance wheel is just crazy with something like 30 steps, useless. 1/5
Fantastico! by anonymImparato ad usare il selettore sulla destra...poi è un divertimento! 5/5
Well done by anonymGreat app, and it works around the globe! Keep up the good work. 5/5
NOT TRUE CHRIS by anonymIt doesn't work on Your Android. Works great on my DX2. Only problem I have found is can't make the metric to imperial work. Oh, and yes it would be cool to be able to take a photo. Apple iOS sux. 4/5
??? by anonymI'm looking directly at Mt Rainier and Mt Baker and it wont identify either one! I think you need a tutorial for this app. I found the dial off to the right by accident to fine tune the peak finder. 2/5
by anonymWorks fine on Nexus one gingerbread & it's free!!! 5/5
Needs a lot of work before it's halfway decent by anonymWhen you turn your phone, the mountains change position, and the whole screen starts jerking around. It gets the position of mountains up to 20 degrees off even when you keep the phone steady for a while. 1/5
by anonymWorks well in sw BC, Canada... Very cool! 5/5
Inaccurate by anonymIn the alps it didn't show the correct peaks at all 2/5
by anonymWorked great till new update. Peaks shake when trying to look and cant look as far back to distant peaks as before. Liked older version better. Evo 3/5
by anonymGreat app found it very Imformative on holiday in Austria. Just needs the option to take photo with the information on the screen 4/5
Makes my device completely unresponsive by anonym--- no update in 2 1/2 years??? --- mountain names jumping --- mountain names displayed at wrong positions --- mountain names displayed on the very top of the screen, getting cut off 1/5
Fun but useful? by anonymElevations are always in m no matter how I set in settings. Readings are usually a bit off target too. 3/5
Not accurate. by anonymI found Peak AR to be not accurate when finding known peaks. The interface needs work. 2/5
by anonymEvery other app on my phone that needs GPS works no problem. But this just says it cans find a GPS position. It sucks. 1/5
Peak.ar by anonymUseful app for people who like geography and always want to know where they are trekking/walking/cycling. 4/5
Could be more accurate, but does provide names. by anonymI live in Telluride, this is my guide!! 3/5
Need to be more accurate by anonymI love the idea of this app. I live in Teton Valley, ID, and there are several distinctive views of the west slope of the Tetons from my house. I have had this app for a while but every time I try it, either it shows an incorrect peak, or does not line up correctly with the real peak. I hope you get the kinks worked out. If this worked well, it would be fantastic. 2/5
Loved this on iOS by anonymbut on Android, it doesn't even work. Went hiking on a new trail today, one where I knew I'd be able to see dozens of nearby peaks. Downloaded this app, and went on my way. Launched it on the trail, and it said there was an updated database. Well, I had just a weak GPRS data connection so there was no chance of downloading the 4MB update. I tried to ignore it, and the app crashed. Got home, downloaded the update, and it says the database is corrupt now. Sigh, uninstalling. 1/5
Good, but needs extended range by anonymShows the peaks in my neighbourhood, even when it sometimes seems to be a little "off". What is missing is an even bigger range: e.g. on some days I can clearly see a mountain peak, that's about 40km away from me - but I can't seem to show it in the app. 4/5
Useless while driving by anonymWhile driving I pointed this app at mt shasta. Mt shasta dominated our view for a good 10 minutes and this app never registered mt shasta. Instead it showed some random peaks that no one has heard of and I could not read the peaks that it does show because the names go off the screen and get cut off. Also I changed the units to imperial but it still shows metric. There is a lot of debugging to do! 2/5
