Really remarkable
Great for identification of hills, ridges and mountains
Perfect app
Such a cool app to have! Very very easy to use. Just point it at the landscape and it accurately tells you what mountains and peaks are there. I was hesitant to get it because of the bad reviews, but it is awesome. Highly recommended if you like learning the names of local mountains.
Amazing level of details.
After a clean reinstall it's working again
