Plain mode

It works great but I wish it would work while flying too and while in plain mode but it doesn’t. I thought I red something that it works but it did not. That was the main reason I got it.
Too bad. But other than that it works great.

Works Well

I have checked it against posted altitudes many times and it’s always right on the mark, so I have great confidence when I measure a very random location. I consider it very reliable.

Phenomenal App and so FUN

I can’t believe how often I use this. You too will find yourself standing on a cliff above the ocean wondering how high you are! This gives you the answer immediately. It just sits there and waits because the App knows you’ll be back soon!

Works perfectly, great app

This app gives you multiple choices as far as data sources
Can easily be calibrated via known altitude
It makes me sad that people give Apps bad reviews when they don’t understand how science works

Couple recommendations

This is easily the best altimeter app but I’m not sure it is being supported. It would be nice to see an updated version (no updates in 3+ years)

Would like to be able to use it in iOS live activity so I can see it when my iPhone locks.

I love the app when I can read it (which is most of the time) when it is bright outside it is difficult to read. The dark background is the only option. that allows you to change from black to white.

Issues

Plus or minus 10ft does not work well when you live at or near sea level. They should tell you this before purchase.

Not worth paying for

Adds nothing you can’t already get from the free compass that comes with iPhone or Apple Watch, and it prompts you to “calibrate” every day.

Very Good

I found this to be very accurate having compared it to Ordnance Survey maps spot heights measured in situ.

Work great, no problems

Great app for what it is. Used it for years, never a problem. Highly recommend!

Great app but …

I love the app when I can read it (which is most of the time) when it is bright outside it is difficult to read. The dark background is the only option. It would be nice to see an updated version (no updates in 2+ years) that allows you to change from black to white.
