Peakbagger

If you're an outdoor enthusiast (love mountains) and your looking for new adventures, want to introduce friends or young ones to the outdoors, you can find a list or destination that's perfect for that next outing. Location maps are great supplemented with other user's trip reports are often helpful. You can even add other user's GPS tracks to the maps.

Awesome app to locate/identify nearby mountains. It links to the peakbagger database and can download tracks directly into the app. It tracks your location (with permission) so can be used to follow a downloaded track. I've used it several times to add extra peaks to my trip when I have the time. It helped me find mountains close to me and navigate to the trailhead. Sometimes, I just wonder about the names of mountains I am driving by and can open the app to find out.

I've been looking for a good gps map app for a while and couldn't't be more happy about this one. I love being able to DL maps, making it easier to see my progress while linked to GPS on the trail. The peak specific weather reporting has been a gift from the trail gods. The fact that this app is completely free with zero pop up adds blows my mind. I have already spread the word. At least 4 of my hiking community now love it. Good job Peakbagger!

I use this app for peakbagging Sierra Club's Hundred Peak List. This is the best app I haveI tested and it is completely FREE. Other apps might be free but you need to pay additional subscription for download topo maps to you phone for offline use. Big plus is Peakbagger can import Google Earth KML files into this app to display tracks. This is how I use the map: before I set out for bagging a mountain, I launch Peakbagger, search for that peak in app and save that peak for offline use. Next I go to HundredPeakSection to download KML file for that peak to my phone. Open that KML file with Peakbagger and voila. I do mostly solo hikes so Peakbagger provides me a peace of mind knowing that I am never lost as long as GPS and phone works. Of course a traditional map, compass and be familiarize with your route is a must. This iapp is a backup. Make sure to bring external phone batteries as backup.

It seems like a good app... But many much of the functionality like adding ascents is only found in the main website. I would like to be able to add ascents from the app itself. I also have a problem as there is no real help section for the app, so I had to fumble around for an hour just to figure out how to use it. A tutorial or help page explaining how to use the app for new users would be tremendous.

I love this app! I've been using the main site and ListofJohn for a few years. The idea of having access through my cellphone never appealed to me. Nevertheless I downloaded the app and tried it. It works really well. I'm able to work on my peak lists and research in a streamlined way that is very enjoyable and convenient. Also, the links to ListofJohn and Summit post are very helpful. I'm sure there are some tweaks that could make it even more useful but altogether I really like it.

Absolutely phenomenal app if you like finding, planning, and tracking your hikes.

I like this app but there are two things I'd love to be able to do: make my own lists (there are a couple lists not in here) and when viewing a specific peak, see the date(s) I hiked it.

Great and a must app for hikers

Best summit tracking app out there, especially if you're already a user of the site! This app not only does it's function great, because of the robust and extensive database supporting it one is able to link externally to to other resources (weather, other summit tracking site trip reports, map resources, etc.) Wonderfully designed and simple to use.

Good solid app

I'm loving this app. Keep up the great work and enhancements.

Very good peak finding and basic logging. Nice app for a first release. Peaks wish list feature and a saved list with progress would be cool to have. Open cycle maps view would be nice since it shows more local trails.

5 stars if it does not crash when Peakbagger detail page of a peak.

Yesterday it was working fine but this morning when the updated rolled out it just keeps crashing after a few seconds of opening it. Besides that I love it!

This is just perfect. Easy way to save a peak and download available gpx tracks. The map display is smooth and very fast (as compare to Backcountry Navigator). The UI is much simpler than Backcountry Navigator. The only thing missing is an integrated compass. I know there are several compass apps. But a small compass arrow integrated/overlayed on the map area will be so much more useful. Or the ability to auto-rotate the map based on the direction the phone is pointed at (like how google maps does during car navigation). The ability to track the route like how RunKeeper, Runtastic, etc. do will be also useful.

Very impressive for a first version! Add the ability to create and upload .gpx files when logging ascents, the suggested compass, a map browser, and easy access to our "to-do" lists, and you'll have 5 stars!

There is no finer app out there for the peakbagging enthusiast! The ability to store data offline for trail and mountain use is excellent. Downloadable GPS tracks that overlay on the map are great too. Greg and Andrew really hit it out of the park with this one. Way to go on this amazing app!!

The offline mode is great in the backcountry. Works well.

Excellent app for logging peaks, quick and effective support when I had a question. Not as important for climbing a mountain as crampons and an ice axe, but almost!

Can't beat this app when it comes to bagging peaks. The best resource our there

I guess I don't have to teach myself how to program now. Has everything I was looking for in a peakbagging app. Thank you!

Been using the website for a few years. Now can do the Ultras with info at fingertips. Yippee ki-ya peakbagger.

Best App ever!

Finally an easy way to find peaks and track ascents. Love the offline info storage .
