Freakin’ Incredible
This app is awesome - and they seemed to have added new features which give you overpays of what the mountians are supposed to look like - so you can adjust to get PERFECT registration in the AR view. I was also surprised when it knew where the moon was - and even gave me an overview as to where it would be later on! An absolute MUST HAVE for hikers, mountaineers and sight-seers!!!!

We love this app
The family and I travel across America for my job. We often wondered what mountains are around us. It works good. Thank you.

Pretty cool!
Easy to use, far more so than another paid-for app that we gave up on. Worked well in the Aosta Valley where we are staying.
