"Not only an amazing app to have for driving around town, but ridiculously awesome sitting atop a mountain. Use the binoculars and then zoom to the top to see what the view would be like. Great app!! Fast and has never crashed. If u hike, it's a must have."

Customer Reviews
This App is not worth $4
Buyers Remorse. If it were free I would have deleted it by now. Not useful. Not good.
Works for Me!
It does have a glitch or two, but once you figure out how to set a viewing location it just does what it is supposed to. From a high mountain in southeast KY, I took some pictures of the distant Smoky Mountains on a very clear day. I had hiked the length of the Smokies recently, and was having some trouble identifying some of the peaks I saw. With this app, I set the location, pulled up the photos on my computer and there they were. It showed me all the peaks I had remembered, and cleared up all my questions. Well worth the money just for that one application. Without being there, you can set the location for a distant location and view the surrounding skyline as if you were there. Enough said.

From a high mountain in southeast KY, I took some pictures of the distant Smoky Mountains on a very clear day. I had hiked the length of the Smokies recently, and was having some trouble identifying some of the peaks I saw. With this app, I set the location and displayed the distant Smoky Mountain profile, pulled up the photos on my computer to compare the skyline, and there they were. It showed me all the peaks I had remembered, gave me the names, and cleared up all my questions. Well worth the money just for that one application.
