La traduction française complète est prête et sera disponible avec la prochaine mise à jour 4.8.8, dès validation par Apple. Les réglages, les textes d’autorisation et les raccourcis Siri sont maintenant localisés en français. ### 3/5 — It’s a great phone app but… *2025-09-07, version 4.1* It does exactly what I want on my phone but I really want it for my watch. My Apple Watch 10 will only display In metric. I can select measurement units and unit speed but I cannot change either to US measurements. ### 2/5 — Okay but not fully functional *2021-02-05, version 3.4* Two apps work okay, however the altimeter won’t download on watch - the only reason I bought the package. ### 4/5 — Funguje dobře *2019-10-28, version 2.2* Hezky použitelná jako komplikace do modulárniho ciferníku, akorát se výška často aktualizuje nepříjemně neochotně. ### 2/5 — Dubbioso *2019-07-13, version 2.2* Non da i valori della quarta in tempo reale, Apple Watch 4 ### 3/5 — Unable to switch to feet *2019-06-06, version 2.1* A comment on October 26 discussed the inability to switch the altimeter on an Apple Watch 4 from meters to feet. This problem does not seem to have been corrected as of yet. My brain just can not do the conversion when I’m climbing an incline and I have to dig my phone out to get a reading in feet. ### 4/5 — Looks great but doesn’t seem to be working *2019-05-23, version 2.1* App looks perfect for what I want but the unit and accuracy settings cannot be changed. I’m getting an error to open the app on my watch when it’s already open. I’m also not sure the altitude is updating but I’ll text that this weekend. ### 5/5 — Got it working *2019-05-16, version 2.1* Looks good and is accurate. Didn’t work at first (several weeks ago) but latest updates to phone and watch (15/5/19) seem to have kicked it into life. ### 2/5 — Not real impressed *2019-05-07, version 2.1* I misunderstood a couple of the reviews I read, and thought that the complication updated automatically. I would not have paid for the app had I known I had to tap on the altitude or speed compilation to get it to update. Then it some time take a few tries to get it to update on the complication screen. I can do the same thing with my free apps and the update instantly. ### 3/5 — Works on one watch, not on other. *2019-04-21, version 2.1* App works great on my watch, but not so much on my wife’s. We are both running the most recent software updates on our phones, watches, and app. My watch has accurate elevation, my wife’s is off by about 2200 ft. Also (wife’s watch) when setting meters or feet, with feet selected it gives the interval accuracy options in meters, does not give an interval accuracy option in feet. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2020-07-17, version 2.2* Does not change elevation ### 1/5 — Didn’t work, simple as that!! *2020-07-04* Not happy **Developer response:** What exactly didn`t meet your expectations? Have you tried the newest version 3.3 yet? It should be working much better. ### 1/5 — Want my money back *2019-11-17* Not compatible with watch series 3 cellular ### 1/5 — Does not work *2019-10-29* This app and the family packet of apps doesn’t work **Developer response:** Thank you for your review. Have you tried the newest version 3.3? ### 1/5 — Can't get to work at all as complication *2019-09-11, version 2.2* It just says 3281 feet all the time (I live at 840 ft). It never moves. The app doesn't show up anywhere on my iPhone settings to allow background use, so not sure how to do that. Doesn't work any different if you open the app. ### 1/5 — Hot Garbage *2019-07-18, version 2.2* Don’t waste your money... should have read the reviews. Guess I’ve wasted more on less before but if I could get my money back I would for sure ### 1/5 — App doesn’t download *2019-05-25, version 2.1* App doesn’t download to watch. ### 1/5 — Crappy app. Watch app doesn’t work *2019-04-06, version 2.1* You can’t set to feet. Keep getting error message to open watch app. It is open. Didn’t test this. Terrible ### 1/5 — Bad *2019-04-04, version 2.1* I have serious 2 and the face what i purchased for don’t show up ! ### 1/5 — Cannot get it to read in feet. *2019-03-24, version 2.1* App seems accurate; however I cannot get the app to read in feet either on my iPhone XR or on my Apple Watch Series 4, even after opening both the phone and watch app. Waste of money. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Solid *2026-05-11, version 4.8.5* I’ve tried several altimeter apps and widgets. This is the only one that works. Great app, great interface, great widget, and great support. ### 5/5 — Works in CarPlay *2025-12-22, version 4.3* Thanks for adding the small widget. The application now works as a CarPlay widget. Give this guy a beer!🍺 ### 5/5 — Love the app *2025-12-13, version 4.2* Does only what I want. Great update but everything is in German now :) ### 5/5 — Small widget *2025-10-10* Yours was the only application I found that supported widgets. Unfortunately the small widget is needed to support CarPlay widgets. The current wide widget doesn’t work. Just take your iPhone widget and display the only current altitude. ### 5/5 — Give this man a beer! *2025-08-12, version 4.1* Hands-down the best altimeter app out there. I tried so many and only this one allows to show real time altitude on the widget page. On the history page, if we click the green dot, it should direct us to the associated altitude and its data. That’s the only suggestion. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Watch Complications *2025-05-22, version 4.1* Great app! But I do have a suggestion… instead of fancy graphs showing in the middle complication on the watch can we have ONE LARGE number that will represent the elevation?? ### 5/5 — A complication capability *2025-02-02, version 4.0* Just what I was looking for! I’m using this altitude app as a complication on my watch! Only one minor issue, the normal display before I push the complication is expressed in meters, in spite of the fact that I have selected feet. Not sure how to make it show in feet! ### 5/5 — Altimetro *2023-02-07, version 4.0* Ottima applicazione semplice nell’uso esatta nella misurazione dell’altezza. ### 5/5 — Great Altimeter App *2020-10-15, version 3.4* This Altimeter app is the only one that I have found that have the complications update automatically for the Apple Watch. The developer is constantly working to make this app better and he is quick to respond to any questions you may have. Look forward to future updates. ### 5/5 — Does not update itself on the watch *2020-10-01, version 3.1* It does not update itself in complications. You have to “touch it” to obtain current reading several times because first couple of times always crashes!! Fix autoupdate and this is 5 star app!! 2/11/19 After last update this app works like it supposed. Five star app like I’ve mentioned above!!!! 10/01/20 After the most recent update widget will only show meters regardless of the setting --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
