### 5/5 — Altitude Nerd?

*2022-09-13, version 3.8.0*

I suppose I am an Altitude Nerd. I love to watch the change in attitude as I enjoy the ups and downs of the Colorado topography!

### 5/5 — Application efficace et précise

*2022-09-05*

Sowas wünscht man sich!

Quick to use to pinpoint where on a slope you, for turning off at the elevation shown on the map.

### 5/5 — Alt meter is a GO!!!

*2022-06-26, version 3.8.0*

Easy to use and pretty accurate.

### 5/5 — Great Altimeter App

*2022-06-23*

This altimeter app really surprised me in a good way. The app is simple to use, is accurate and overall works great!  My thanks to the developer for an easy to use app that works great. Job well done!

### 5/5 — Big fun

*2022-06-18, version 3.8.0*

I’ve never had so much fun knowing the elevation.

### 5/5 — Where’s the Sea…?

*2022-03-31*

There’s something reassuring about knowing one’s altitude at any given time, especially if you’re like me and can’t swim…🤭

### 5/5 — A GREAT APP

*2022-03-23, version 3.6.0*

I’ve had other altimeter apps but none can compare. This one is the very best.

### 5/5 — Good app

*2022-03-12, version 3.6.0*

Very useful and simple to use

### 5/5 — Good and reliable application.

*2022-03-07*

I walk around different places where there are various mountains and trails. This apps easily indicates the altitude.

### 5/5 — Altimeter works great!

*2022-02-23*

I tested the accuracy by going to a federal impoundment close to my home. It has the level of the lake in feet above sea level. The app was right on!

### 5/5 — How I love my altimeter!

*2022-02-10*

The gps I use has a mind of its own like many electronics these days. 
Only once in a blue moon does it tell me my altitude. 
My first GPS a addition on my laptop told me that altitude in big bold numbers. 
But this app works great for me. I am a trucker and love to know what the altitude is when I go to sleep. As I drive coast to coast my altitude changes all the time.

### 5/5 — Facile et suffisamment précis pour les balades.

*2021-12-25*

Ce que j’apprécie, c’est la rapidité avec laquelle j’ai une estimation de l’altitude, estimation qui se précise au fur et à mesure avec le GPS.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-02-08*

This app properly charged a simple fee so that we wouldn't have to experience ads but then when I tried to use it, even when I'm standing still in front of my house outdoors with a good signal it constantly changes every split second to a different altitude reading.

### 1/5 — Not compatible

*2021-09-11, version 3.5.1*

App says it is not compatible with device, iPad Pro 12.9 5th generation (2021)

### 2/5 — Only shows where the iPad is located

*2024-10-18*

.

### 2/5 — Not as accurate as advertised

*2022-11-02*

Tested the app on the ground floor outside the block of flats and 5 floors up on the balcony. There was no difference in altitude reading even though I swiped up the app to fully close it and reopened it again.
The app states that the altitude reading variation can be 1-3m but I went much higher and it still showed same reading.

### 3/5 — Maps Option Traps You

*2024-01-01*

If you select the maps option, there is no way to get out of the maps option in order to go back to the main page of the app. You must close the app in order to get back to the actual Altimeter page. This is very annoying and not what I expect from a professionally made app.

### 3/5 — Carte

*2021-10-21*

Ce serait bien que l’altitude apparaisse sur la carte à côté du point de localisation

### 3/5 — Bitte wieder aktualisieren

*2019-03-01*

Ich würde die App gerne auf meine Apple Watch nutzen, leider geht das ab watchOS 5 nicht mehr. Auch iOS wäre eine Aktualisierung gut.
Sonst bin ich zufrieden mit der App, sie müsste halt nur wieder laufen...

### 4/5 — La localisation mémorisable serait concurrentielle

*2021-12-09*

Bonjour pourriez vous rajouter la localisation et l enregistrement du pont avec coordonnées et altitude  L altitude plus précise à 1m serait un grand avantage et ces deux fonctionnalités rendraient le produit plus compétitif 
Merci pour la gratuité

### 4/5 — Location

*2021-06-24*

If I knew the location I was at on the screen things would be great.

### 4/5 — Bonne application

*2019-05-23*

Assez précise et intéressante

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Fiable et simple

*2025-06-26*

Une appli qui ne prend aucune place sur le téléphone (778ko, moitié moins qu’une image), fiable (aucune donnée prélevée), belle et gratuite ! Que demander de plus ?

### 5/5 — Sehr praktisch

*2024-05-26*

Tut exakt, was es soll. Und das ist gut so!

### 5/5 — Für alle Fälle…

*2024-04-12*

Als Küstenbewohner brauche ich diese App nicht wirklich. Aber manchmal ist man ja auch woanders unterwegs und es interessiert einen schon mal, wie hoch der Ausguck ist und warum alles im Tal so klein aussieht. 
Die App ist schnell, unkompliziert und grafisch schlicht, aber effektiv.

### 5/5 — Altimètre performant

*2024-02-01*

En général je compare avec les altitudes données sur les panneaux indicateurs et à quelques mètres près c’est bon

### 5/5 — Funktioniert einfach

*2024-01-25*

Zeigt die Höhe flott an. Werbefrei, Datensparsam. Was will man mehr 👍

### 5/5 — Good application برنامج ممنتاز

*2023-11-09*

### 5/5 — Very helpful for a Long Covid patient

*2023-01-19*

Thank you altimeter!!

### 5/5 — Thank you 🙏
