User Reviews

Users appreciate that SOTA Finder effectively identifies nearby summits and assists with planning activations once location permissions are granted, with responsive developers and useful distance info. However, many are frustrated by the absence of mapping features and inability to copy summit details, which limits practical use. Additionally, the app can crash without proper permission setup, and search capabilities are limited due to missing towns and summits. Overall, while functional for its purpose, improvements in mapping integration and data usability are needed.

Pros

Useful for identifying nearby SOTA summits and planning activations.
Shows distance to summits which aids in adventure planning.
Works well after granting proper location permissions.
App developers are responsive to user feedback.
Lightweight and simple to use for SOTA enthusiasts.

Cons

Lack of integrated map functionality or direct links to Google Maps.
Unable to copy summit names or location data for use in other apps.
App crashes frequently if location permissions are not manually enabled.
Limited or no search by town or location, reducing usability for some users.
Some summits missing from listings, affecting comprehensiveness.

Uninstalled. Without an interface link to google maps or a way to copy the coordinates and paste into maps, it's a waste of space. I'm willing to pay for an app that has mapping links!
