### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on my phone

*2021-04-15*

It is all zeros when I go to look up the elevation of a location. (I’m in Kansas) I didn’t feel the need to try in other states, since I was looking for the elevation here.

If the developers get it working again, I will update my rating.

### 1/5 — Click bait only. Don’t waste your time

*2020-11-05*

This program doesn’t even make an attempt at giving you altitude. Just says 0 feet no matter where on the map you click. 

It does however try to take you to several different gaming sites which is why it is a worthless Clickbait app and should be taken down.

### 1/5 — Used to work

*2020-11-03*

This used to be a great app. You can easily browse the map and get altitude but now it is reading 0 ft everywhere. Please fix this.

### 1/5 — 0.0m 0.0f

*2020-01-21*

Don’t think so.
This app is not working.
Deleting now.

### 1/5 — Not even close

*2019-10-02*

Says my altitude is 0’0” yet my house is at highest point in my town.

Pretty useless.  Deleting app.

### 1/5 — It says the elevation is zero no matter where I drive to

*2019-09-02*

It says the elevation is zero no matter where I drive to.

### 1/5 — Altitude display

*2019-07-18*

Not working like it use to.
It’s not displaying altitude,
It displays all zeros

### 1/5 — Only works on map of Japan now.

*2019-06-04*

One other reviewer said this problem has been since the latest IOS update. I’ve used this app before many many times and loved it. It just needs an update to work with the IOS update. Please PLEASE do an update.  I wonder why it only works on Japan.

### 1/5 — Not working at all

*2019-03-29*

No longer works. This used to be the best app for hiking and answering questions like “how high is that hill over there” but then it started quitting and now the update has no data at all. Such a shame.

### 1/5 — No height !

*2019-01-06, version 1.0.4*

Doesn’t show height . Very disappointed
