Works Compass does not work. The mountains displayed on the screen are not the mountains that I am seeing Update: after installing the update, all is well.

Non functional This app would not function in my DROID RAZR. Don't waste your money!

Pretty Useless Works poorly on my Droid Incredible. Doesn't work with compass. Few peaks actually get labels. Wish I would have asked for a refund.

Pretty good I initially gave this app one star for the lack of documentation and general problems using it. I did figure out how it works, and it's not bad--it's just not great.

Awesome. Really useful tool for estimating views prior to hike, as well as identifying peaks during or after, since camera and gps are not required. I actually prefer this to PeakAR now.

Brilliant app! This app is simple and brilliant. Whenever I hike to a viewpoint, I take out my topo map and match up the terrain I'm looking at with what's shown on the map. This app essentially does that for you, without having to work it all out. You know instantly what peaks you're seeing, and the app will tell you how far each one is from where you're standing. My only complaint is that font for the peak labels should be bigger. They're a bit hard to read.

How West is West? Could not find a listing of states covered, but I took a chance... but no Hawaii. $4 mistake for me. Won't work for me.

A Major Disappointment This app isn't what it was represented to be. No documentation, and I can't point my phone at the horizon and see the names of the mountains.
