## What is AeroAltitude?

AeroAltitude calculates pressure altitude (PA) and density altitude (DA) either from user data inputs or automatically by using built-in GPS, built-in barometer*, and METAR** of airports.

Overview of features:
- PA/DA/QNH calculation for current position using GPS and barometer (enter temperature manually)
- PA/DA calculation based on user inputs for altitude, QNH, and temperature
- PA/DA calculation of any airports from the built-in airport database. Including METAR display and chart of DA (on 4'' screens and higher)
- List of user defined airports showing PA/DA calculation
- List of nearby airports showing PA/DA calculation
- Includes watch app to display DA at current position, user, and nearby airports
- User definable warning threshold factor
- Sharing data via mail, message, etc.
- All units are customizable
- Pre iOS 14 today widget with PA/DA for maximum five nearby airports (not available in iOS 18 or later)

AeroAltitude uses the freely available Aviation Digital Data Service from US NOAA to get METAR data and can not be guaranteed. Internet connection required

### 5/5 — Fairly Accurate

*2022-10-05*

when I first installed this app, there was a problem with the airport data. I reached out to the developer, and he fixed it in a timely manner. The program does what it is designed to do.

### 1/5 — Impossible to sélect an airport !

*2022-09-29*

Please, debug this app.

### 5/5 — 5 Star

*2021-04-12*

Excellent App
Very easy to use 
Very useful for Flight Planning

### 4/5 — App works well! Yet . . .

*2018-08-12*

The app works well YET when transfered and used on the Apple Watch 3, the temperature readout(setting) shows Farenheit temperature (F) BUT the number only goes to "50.0" because it stays in Centigrade no matter what UNITS you choose in the iPhone App side.

### 1/5 — N’utilise pas le baromètre Apple Watch

*2017-10-25*

Il n’est pas précisé que seul le baromètre iPhone est utilisable, non celui de l’Apple Watch Serie 3. Aucun intérêt si pas d’iphone 6s ou supérieur ou si loin de l’iphone donc.
