Awesome. I love this app to death, I mostly make use of the default white mode, for me the photo mode is just finicky but I definitely think that could be my older phones compass' problem. Still easy and cool to take a picture and then line up the labels. The UI is awesome and the features are great. I also love the sun and moon tracking.

This is useless application, i tried to use it in India, it downloaded the location data but it was not able to show the peak names properly. Also the overall interface is very poor, wasted my money. I am still looking for a usable peak finder application for Android.

Great 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
