Version 4.8.30
DifficultFeature RequestsBetter than most with room for improvement. Its hard to read outdoors because it's black and white with whisper thin lines and tiny text (would be nice if text could magnify). The field is view doesn't precisely line up with what the eye sees. You have to try to first find a peak you can match up then go from there. My biggest criticism is that the silhouettes of the peaks are a bit lacking in detail so for example clearly jagged peaks look quite rounded in the app making them harder to ID.

Version 4.8.25
Hate itLocationGreat concept, though execution leaves much to be desired. Doesn't orient correctly, so you have to know what peaks you're looking at in order to figure out what peaks you're looking at -- which defeats the entire purpose of the app. This is a major flaw and therefore not worth the price of admission. Wish I could get a refund. Running on Google Pixel 7 Pro and this is the only app using GPS that can't orient itself correctly.

Version 4.8.25
CameraFeature RequestsGreat app. Here's a feature idea. I mostly use this on my photos in post process, where there is often not enough room above the peaks for your labels. It would be ready handy if PeakFinder had the option to change the canvas size of the photo to make enough room for the labels above the peaks. And you could add styles of the transformation into a color of choice (black line, gradient, ai generated sky etc.). It would be especially useful since even apps like PS can't change canvas size. Thanks
