### 5/5 — Very accurate!

*2026-04-07*

There are lots of apps out there they do the same thing as this, but the UI is very simple and this is as accurate as any other that I have found. Five out of five!

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for your words and for your trust!

### 1/5 — デザイン悪くなった

*2026-04-01*

デザイン悪くなった
センス無いな

**Developer response:** こんにちは。デザインを改良し、横向き表示にも対応させました！ご意見・ご感想がございましたら、info@lionsapp.comまでご連絡ください。

### 1/5 — Aktueller Luftdruck nicht justierbar

*2026-01-18*

Die Genauigkeit ist mir zu schwach. 3 Höhenmeter Abweichung ist nicht hinnehmbar!

**Developer response:** Wir werden eine Druckregulierung hinzufügen. Danke für den Hinweis.

### 4/5 — No QFE but good.

*2025-08-16*

No ability to zero for QFE. The right look for paratrike.

**Developer response:** Hi, we'll add this feature in future releases. Thanks.

### 5/5 — Knecht

*2020-08-26*

Sehr gut!

### 2/5 — App

*2019-09-23*

Gone pear shaped tap altitude and location app goes blank back to main screen

### 2/5 — Mostly useless

*2018-05-08*

Nice looking app but does not update in real time. Pretty pointless.

### 5/5 — Très lisible

*2017-11-20*

Simple, efficace et joli.

### 3/5 — OK but not great

*2017-11-20*

Could do with a toggle button on the main screen to go between feet and metres.(instead of this function being buried in the settings)

### 1/5 — Retired psychologist

*2015-08-14*

I find this app not accurate and I terminated it immediately....
