Too wide on iPad mini

Great concept but too wide on my iPad mini. Especially for the simple altitude hold, can’t we make it smaller? (Also the current app would sometimes only alarm at 2x the set delta, other times 1x -weird.)

Hmm. I’d be curious to know more detail about what you’re experiencing. I exclusively use AltitudeAlert on an iPad Mini. In fact, it’s the primary mobile device that I use when designing the UI/UX. Please reach out to me via email at ray@altitudealertapp.com. I’d be happy to find out what’s happening for you.

Good option

I don’t have altitude preselect in my twin Cessna. This works fairly well especially with my GMA 345 so I almost always hear the call outs. When I slide the app from the right across FF, it works well but is hard to get back to the right off the screen. It’s one tiny spot that works. If this was adjusted would give 5 stars

Hi! I'm pleased that you're finding that AltitudeAlert useful. Let me offer a couple of suggestions for you when using the app with an EFB app (Foreflight, Garmin Pilot, etc.). There are two modes available to you that take advantage of iPadOS's Multitasking feature, Split View and Slide Over. From your description, I believe you're utilizing Slide Over. The advantage of Slide Over is that you can slide the app in when you want it, then slide it out to hide it. I agree with you, it can sometimes be difficult to slide it off screen. Unfortunately, this is managed by the iPadOS. Let me suggest you try Split View. This is my preferred way of sharing AltitudeAlert and Foreflight (EFB) on the same screen*. With Split View both apps are always visible and you can adjust the presentation display of the apps to your taste. For example, Foreflight occupying 2/3 of the display while AltitudeAlert occupies the remaining 1/3. Or any other presentation you like. It's completely customizable. I've described this in detail in the User Guide and on the website. If you'd like further assistance I'd be happy to help. Just send me an email to ray@altitudealertapp.com. * To use Split View, the EFB must support it. At this time, I believe Foreflight is the only EFB that does.
