User reviews

Excellent support

Developer responded to feedback and improved app immediately. Great app and support. Better support than apps costing 10x as much

Response from developer

Sorry, the altimeter face graphic is about as big as the 40 mm face will allow. The next maintenance release will probably add a one or two points vertically at the expense of the buttons, but this will make the altimeter slightly oblong. Please note that the swipe gestures are already taken. Swipe Right shows the Density Altitude settings, Swipe Left shows the measurement Unit settings.

Series 7 Watch not compatible

After setting watch and iPhone to allow fitness, the app still does not work. The Set Baro button does not appear on watch, and you cannot set alert altitude from watch. It might be ok for 29.92 only.

Response from developer

Apologies! You are correct, the new screen geometry for Series7 pushed the control buttons off the screen. Nobody in the beta test group back in September had a Series7! Version 2.08 fixes this issue and has been uploaded to Apple. It should be available to download in a day or two. If it works for you, would you please consider revising your review?

Doesn’t work

Can’t get it to alert me. Can’t contact company for help because their webpage doesn’t take my question.

Response from developer

We are sorry that you are having difficulties. If you are having trouble with the web based Email, you can describe your problem in a message to doc@aviametrix.com To set the Altitude Alert feature, tap the bottom right button labeled “AltAlert” on the main screen of the watch app. Set the Altitude and the range, then set the On switch and the buzz if you wish. Return to the main screen and the altitude alert is on.

Works well...when on the face

I was impressed by the features and how easy it was to set up a target altitude. The issue that I had this after several minutes, the app will drop off the watch face which would then revert to its standard face. I was not able to figure out a way to set a time out to keep the app open. Unless this is user error (which is certainly a possibility), it’s not nearly as useful as it could be. Using on a series 5 watch.
UPDATE
Followed the directions to update the “Wake Screen” settings and NOW this is a really useful app. Glad to be some to give it 5 stars. Thank you!

Hi K, Thanks for the review. What you describe is a *!@#Feature#@!* of the Watch. You can change the Watch behavior as described in AppleInsider below. If this change in watch settings helps you, would you consider revising your rating :) "By default, the Apple Watch acts as first and foremost as a watch, displaying the time when a user raises their wrist. But the settings on the Apple Watch also allow users to have the device operate more like a smartphone, resuming the last activity. As anyone who has tried exercising with a third-party Apple Watch app knows, after a short period of time, the device will return to displaying the default clock face when they raise their wrist. Luckily, there's a simple fix for those who would rather have third-party apps stay in the foreground. On the Apple Watch, users can open the Settings app, then select General, and then Activate on Wrist Raise. Scroll down to Resume To and switch the checked item to Last Used App."

Station Barometer

Works great.

Response from developer

The Reset button sets the QNH to 29.92! To change the local QNH, use the Watch Crown. Rotate to the desired value, then hit the Set button on the face. Please reconsider your 1 star rating, sorry if the usage directions were unclear.
