Contact Hiking Maps Support

Upon installing the application I was notified that I would need the pro version in order to locate peaks in more than one location per day. Seemed fair enough, I likely won’t usually need to use this more than once a day but I figured I’d sign up for a year membership if I enjoyed using the free version.

I entered into the app to try it out and learned that I needed to download data for my vicinity, 130mb.. Seems like they must be doing something pretty inefficient to require a file that large for everywhere you go (and certainly makes it impractical if you have low cell service, like for example in the mountains lol) but I allowed it just to try it. While I am waiting for the information in my vicinity to download I am prompted that I have used up my one location for the day and must pay to view more. So essentially, I spent my free location for the day downloading unnecessary data (even though I was still in the same location lol). Pretty sweet! Looking forward to checking out other options or writing my own app for this.

“Just open the app and point the camera.” Sounds easy. I’m in the highest mountain range in the Eastern USA, the Black Mtns in Western North Carolina. I’m 4.01 miles from Mount Mitchell (measured with my Garmin GPS), the HIGHEST PEAK in the Eastern United States, and after nearly a dozen tries, this app has identified NOTHING, although it did indeed download the data it needs for this area. I can clearly see Cattail Peak, one of the southern sixers, from my property. It’s barely a mile away. When I aim the camera at Cattail Peak, the app provides no data whatsoever, even after adjusting and readjusting numerous times, as the user is prompted onscreen to do. After trying over and over, all day long, all I’ve gotten is crude line drawings of mountains. GPS data, yes, but no peak data whatsoever. Nothing. Zilch. Nada. The instructions, which I’ve read, reread and reread, over and over, provide no help whatsoever. Only brief and cursory explanations. Sorry I wasted my money.

I wanted to test this app to see if it’s better than the one I’m currently using. So I’m up in the mountains and I load it up. Takes a while to download and stitch the panorama. And then nothing shows up, at all. So I restart the app, and wait again, and then the outlines of the mountains are in the sky, like way up in the sky, and the horizon isn’t even level. Whatever I used my other app. So a couple hours later I try to give this app a second (third) chance, and it’s locked out! One location per day. Wow great job guys.
