App appearance change

This was a good app but lately it changed its appearance. It doesn’t seem to know how high above sea level it is. I might be missing something but tried it today and you had to have a local altimeter setting to tell you the hight above sea level. I would compare the gps hight against a pressure altimeter to see the difference. I hope this is fixed or you might as well scrap the app.

Aircraft Airspeed IOS 12.1 Compatible?

Is there any chance that the Aircraft Airspeed app can be made compatible for iOS 12.1?

These are by far the nicest aircraft gages out there. I own the other three, but it would sure be nice to have this one as well.

Can it be converted to 64 bit?

Thanks for the update!

I never deleted this app as I had been hoping for a compatible iOS update. Thanks for finally releasing one. Nicely done.
Cheers!

Altimeter

The visual quality is Cr-- looks like a paper cut out.

Acft alt not good

1) Help has misspelled words - shows lack to pay attention to detail. 2) The Adjustment covers up the 3) what should be is a working Kohlmanns window. 3) Cannot fine tune the adjustment easily. 4) Since attempting to emulate an aircraft's altimeter, should have a "knots" unit for Speed (groundspeed since GPS derived). Without a working Kohlmann's window, the app is virtually useless as a trainer/emualtor.

Horrible Display

Made the mistake of putting this on iPad Air2. It has a horrible fuzzy, crude display. Nothing like the APP picture.

Aviator

Great app for us aviators.

Doesn't work

Looks nice but doesn't work because it can't find a GPS satellite.

Great App!

I love this app. It's as good as your iPhone's gps. Doesn't need cellular or wifi connection to work. It just won't work in airplane mode. I also have the Aircraft Speed and Aircraft Heading apps. They all work fine in the car. But this altimeter works well when whether moving or stationary. 5 stars.

Works OK, BUT!!!

Couple of days ago I was standing on the Ocean Beach Pier in San Diego. I pulled out the iPhone and tapped on Altimeter just for fun. There I was, about 25 feet above the ocean water and Altimeter was saying that my altitude was over 700 feet! I waited, and then Altimeter asked if it could use my current location. Well, Duh! Why would I want the altitude at some other location? So I tapped OK. It then recalculated and told me I was at 274 feet altitude. OK, closer, but still 250 feet off my actual altitude. So what is going on here? I waited a few more minutes, but Altimeter still insisted that I was 250 above my own head! But I did not feel like I was flying.

Doesn't stay on the home screen

Great idea - need an update.

Works great.

Having the altitude on the icon is awesome! Thanks.

The default settings of click while in background and run in the background are a little annoying. Good thing both can be turned off in the settings. Also, to stop the app from running in the background, you need to read the help. Hopefully a future update will make this clearer.

Looks and works much like the real thing. Good for training. I have my IPhone in a dock in my car and like to see my altitude.

At times the readings can be a ways off, but that is not the fault of this program. The iPhone GPS chip is kind of lame. In one rare case it was 3 thousand feet off, but after restarting the phone, it was good, and has been reasonably accurate ever since.

Kills your battery since the upgrade to v 2.0

The only way I could stop the clicking and stop it running in the background was to UNINSTALL the app. I loved it before, now they ruined it! Bye Bye Aircraft Altimeter...

Aircraft Altimeter

Installed and upon start would never find a GPS signal. I am a pilot and was looking forward to the application. Finally uninstalled.

DLT2

Yes, it's true. The app fully discloses all of it's inadeqacies in the description so I don't feel cheated that I bought it. It still doesn't change the fact though that it's a waste of a dollar. The whole point of a measuring device is to provide accuaracy, right?! This is inaccurate so frequently, what's the point? Cool idea but the technology isn't there. Save your money

Very nice- but read the description before buying!

Interesting "Boooo" review. BCREZ knocks an app that fully discloses all of it's inadequacies in the description, something that can be viewed prior to hitting the <buy> button. I totally agree that BCREZ is- "dumber for buying it." BTW- Cool App! :)

Cool app

Looks like the real one and works great.

Great

Works great. Reasonably accurate. Looks like the real thing. Thanks for the good updates.

Great app

Worked well as descibed looks great, and was really useful on a recent 150 mile cross country bike ride.

Works great

Agreed with altitude signs
