Remain open

Guys, is there away to keep to app open and active while I’m flying so I don’t have to open it when my screen locks?
Thanks

Yes, for an iPhone, under the SHOW section of options screen switch on “Keep screen on”. The watch is not so easy, but there are details in the tips screen of the watch app. Thank you for your interest. Safe flying, Marcus

Brilliant !

I had to contact the app maker to have an option to keep the screen on, and within 3 days they had fixed it. That’s excellent customer focused service !! 5 STAR !!

Thank you again for all your communication and for caring about this App. Your suggestion was a really good one and perfectly timed (I’m not normally able to be that responsive). Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your kind review too. Safe flying 👍🏻😀

Good.

Works exactly as I would expect.

TAP TO BUY upsell & blurry graphics

Screenshots are missing the big “TAP TO BUY VSI” callout on iPhone app. Watch app doesn’t have it, but watch graphics are quite fuzzy (as if the resolution is wrong). Other than that, seems to work as advertised.

Good, simple. Needs Motion and Fitness

This app used to work without any permission. Now, ios 17.4 requires Motion and Fitness data. I guess it's Apple's fault.

Update: this is now fixed (in version 2.5). It was confirmed to be an iOS bug but a work-around was found. See our support page for details. Thank you again for caring about this App and for taking the time to get in touch.

Back to greatness!

After fixing the OS issues its back to its great state. Simple, aeronautical and easy.
Be advised that the altitude in a plane is taken from carefully positioned ports. Cabin altitude may differ a little from the plane altimeter, being affected by speed.
Also great is its privacy. In a pressurized plane you can check the pressurization (obviously: not the real barometric altitude).

Real pilot Altimeter

As I pilot I was looking for an Altimeter app that is the same as my aircraft altimeter. This app is simple and effective.

I hope they add the choice of “drum pointer altimeter” display. This I would pay for!

Thank you for your review and suggestion, both here and on the support page 👍🏻 Safe flying. Marcus

Quit Working

My apologies to the developer for being too quick to criticize the app.

It is up and running again as well as it did before the iOS update caused it to quit working.

Thank you for updating your review 😀 Thank you also for caring about this App and for helping to alert me to the iOS problem. All appreciated. I understood and shared your frustration 👍🏻

Quit working

This was a fine app until March 10, 2024. That was the first time I noticed that it quit working on both my Series 8 Apple watch and on my iPhone 14 Pro. Both units are updated regularly to the latest software. I am unable to get any response from the developer when I attempt to send feedback. All I get is an error message. What’s going on here? It seems like the developer left town without a forwarding address.

I would prefer to critique this app directly with the developer rather than in the App Store. Unfortunately, that wasn’t possible.

Update: It now appears to be a recognised iOS bug that cannot be fixed within the App. There will hopefully be an iOS update soon to fix this and all the other barometer based Apps. For more details, please see the Altimeter for Aviators support page. I’m still puzzled about the error you encountered trying to contact me. I have had several feedback messages come in over the last few days (very understandably given the problems generated by iOS17.4). Anyway, thank you for caring about this App. I’m as upset as you about it no longer working. Let’s hope it’s back soon. Thank you also for taking the time to persevere with getting in touch to share your frustration and alert me to this catastrophe!
