Not working

I thought it will be an interesting asset to have with me on board of the plane.
I started on ground with the app showing 204 ft which was about right (San Martin 284ft). I took off in a C172 and all the way up to 12000ft it showed the same value of 207ft, however, the speed seemed to be correct, this one star.

Not worth even the free version

Couldn’t find my location the whole time i was in the air. When i landed, it then told me i was ascending at 400 fpm. I calibrated it just prior to take off. Speedometer and barometer appear to work fine.... when the app actually works. Definitely don’t waste the $2.00 on the premium version.

Nice app but

This is a nice little app but as a premium user I need the pressure display in inches of mercury since in the USA that is what our aircraft are set with. Should be a simple internal conversion. Thanks
