Not useful locked out
Simple and precise
I need to find out how to disable the screen going dark after about 30 seconds, but I’m sure that’s me not knowing my own phone settings as opposed to the app.
Fantastic!
10 foot purchase breaks it
Response from developer
Thanks for the heads up and for reaching out. I think you meant “waste” rather than “taste”. Are you able to explain what you mean by “breaks”? I am not aware of any problems…
Excellent, almost
Response from developer
Thank you for the very kind feedback and for this great idea. Thank you also for suggesting this idea through my website. I agree that it would be nice to get more on the large Car Play screen. Unfortunately Car Play Apps are restricted to only a few specific categories. There are 7 categories and an Altimeter does not fit any of them or the templates that Apps must conform to. So for the moment I’m not able to oblige. Safe driving. Marcus
Great App!
Response from developer
Thank you for the kind feedback. Particularly nice to hear it’s a good aid for students (which is what I was when I built the App). Safe flying. Marcus
Restore Purchase Option Doesn’t Work
Response from developer
Dear Roberto, Thank you for getting in touch. Apologies for the very slow reply and for the frustrations. The ‘bot test’ was too strict and wanted a capital A. I’ve fixed that now (thank you again for the heads-up”), so it also accepts lower-case. For restoring purchases, you shouldn’t have to do it, but deleting the app on both phone and watch and then reinstalling it will get the restore purchase working. Changing phone or changing watch seems to sometimes mess up the stored settings with automatically transferred data not quite working. Is this the scenario you’re in? Fully deleting the app seems to reset the data enough to get it working again (after reinstalling obviously).
This app would be great as a widget
Works with Watch SE, doesn’t work with Watch 8
The App needs night mode
When I turn on the app it is red because of old data, this needs to be a night vision option, red is preferred but blue or green might work at night as well also the header and footer need to be black at night.
The white text and screen destroy my night vision.
Also the deadband on the altitude flag needs to be tightened up. Zero meter screen and 1000 meter screen are the same on highest resolution screen (1m), Flag needs to transition between 995 m and 999 meter with flag half visible during transition.
Response from developer
Thank you very much for this valuable feedback and the good ideas. Thank you also for sharing these directly on the Altimeter for Aviators website. Safe driving. It sounds very exciting :)
Remain open
Thanks
Response from developer
Yes, for an iPhone, under the SHOW section of options screen switch on “Keep screen on”. The watch is not so easy, but there are details in the tips screen of the watch app. Thank you for your interest. Safe flying, Marcus
Brilliant !
Response from developer
Thank you again for all your communication and for caring about this App. Your suggestion was a really good one and perfectly timed (I’m not normally able to be that responsive). Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your kind review too. Safe flying 👍🏻😀
Good.
TAP TO BUY upsell & blurry graphics
Good, simple. Needs Motion and Fitness
Response from developer
Update: this is now fixed (in version 2.5). It was confirmed to be an iOS bug but a work-around was found. See our support page for details. Thank you again for caring about this App and for taking the time to get in touch.
Back to greatness!
Be advised that the altitude in a plane is taken from carefully positioned ports. Cabin altitude may differ a little from the plane altimeter, being affected by speed.
Also great is its privacy. In a pressurized plane you can check the pressurization (obviously: not the real barometric altitude).

Real pilot Altimeter
I hope they add the choice of “drum pointer altimeter” display. This I would pay for!
Response from developer
Thank you for your review and suggestion, both here and on the support page 👍🏻 Safe flying. Marcus
Quit Working
It is up and running again as well as it did before the iOS update caused it to quit working.
Response from developer
Thank you for updating your review 😀 Thank you also for caring about this App and for helping to alert me to the iOS problem. All appreciated. I understood and shared your frustration 👍🏻
Quit working
I would prefer to critique this app directly with the developer rather than in the App Store. Unfortunately, that wasn’t possible.
Response from developer
Update: It now appears to be a recognised iOS bug that cannot be fixed within the App. There will hopefully be an iOS update soon to fix this and all the other barometer based Apps. For more details, please see the Altimeter for Aviators support page. I’m still puzzled about the error you encountered trying to contact me. I have had several feedback messages come in over the last few days (very understandably given the problems generated by iOS17.4). Anyway, thank you for caring about this App. I’m as upset as you about it no longer working. Let’s hope it’s back soon. Thank you also for taking the time to persevere with getting in touch to share your frustration and alert me to this catastrophe!
Quit working
I am unable to get any response from the developer when I attempt to send feedback. All I get is an error message.
What’s going on here? It seems like the developer left town without a forwarding address.
Doesn't work with IOS 17.4
This feedback may very well be a defect os the IOS than a problem with the app, but anyway doesn't work now.
