Simplicity is Altimeter‘s DNA. ### 5/5 — MGRS font sized fixed! *2024-10-16* I don’t know if it was an app or watchOS fix, but the MGRS display on my SE 2022 watch is now correct. Thanks ### 5/5 — Altimeter *2024-07-05* Clear responsive and a pleasure to use! **Developer response:** I am very pleased that you like Altimeter so much. 🙏 ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2024-05-07* It is a great app, very practical with meters and feet on display, elegant and efficient. It is a must for your iPhone and Apple watch. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for liking Altimeter and recommending it. ### 5/5 — Beautiful and functional *2024-03-01* Does exactly what you want it to. Looks beautiful too after the most recent update. Keep it up! **Developer response:** Hi, thank you very much for your feedback. I'm glad you like the new design. ### 5/5 — Solid *2024-01-04* For the last several years, I have relied on this app to both determine as well as bookmark for future reference the altitude of the location, some visiting, I’m not a professional, or amateur hiker, camper, or an adventure. However, it is very interesting to find out how different the nature is a different altitudes. For example, when I was visiting different areas of Serengeti and Ngorongoro national parks. The epic solid, absolutely nonintrusive and performs flawlessly, doing exactly what it is expected to do. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Works on watch without requiring iphone *2022-10-09* Altitude is updated to current position as soon as you open the app. Many altitude apps don’t work without your iphone nearby, on, and communicating with your apple watch. This one works without the need for the iphone. the other app i found that works without the iphone doesn’t update to current position unless you open it twice. ### 5/5 — Simple *2022-04-18* Free, does what it is supposed to and even has a widget. ### 5/5 — Works great *2018-04-11* Works great but would like to see a complication for Apple Watch if that would be possible in the near future other than that everything works fine **Developer response:** Hi. Thx for your feedback and 5 star rating! Yes, a complication view I'd like, too. Unfortunately the current watchOS will update the complication each 30 minutes at most. Wouldn't this be confusing? But I'll keep an eye on it and will add as soon as possible. ## Frequently asked questions about Altimeter ### What is the current altitude displayed by Altimeter?
