### 1/5 — Sales right off the bat

*2026-08-11, version 3.3.1*

First thing.. need an account, second page after putting in email… 80% of virus protection…. DELETE!!

### 5/5 — Favorite

*2026-07-26, version 3.3.1*

Use it almost daily

### 5/5 — Very handy

*2025-12-30, version 3.3.1*

Excellent information and appears to be very accurate.

### 5/5 — Precise

*2025-10-15, version 3.3.1*

Love checking the elevation of where I’m traveling!!! It is INSTANT information!!! ❤️

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2025-09-01, version 3.3.1*

This app works very well. Used it in the back country in the Wasatch Mountains and always had perfect service.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2025-06-24, version 3.3.1*

Works SO well! On travels, when we see an altitude sign as we drive it’s always within 5 or 6 feet. Gets closer if you stop and give it a second.

### 5/5 — Landowner

*2025-06-14, version 3.3.1*

Works great

### 5/5 — Love and use daily on my travels

*2025-04-08, version 3.3.1*

Never disappoints and when it can’t detect a direct location it gives you latitude and longitude info.. used so far on 70,000 miles journey throughout the USA

### 2/5 — Doesn’t actually Keep Track of Exact Height

*2025-04-01, version 3.3.1*

I climb for a living (cell tower technician), I downloaded the app at the top of the tower. Said my altitude was 207. I climbed down the 100+ foot tower to see if it could show me the height difference. I was 204 once I reached the ground. Pretty useless for precision. Great tool to feel cool when you leave your home and go somewhere new, but it has no idea what your altitude is. It just checks your coordinates on a map.

### 5/5 — Tom Ray

*2024-08-03, version 3.3.1*

I’m using this altimeter to find a couple hundred elevations on a five acre building lot. It has enough accuracy to get a real good set of elevation points for a drainage map. I like the quick reaction to changes in elevation. It’s better than two other elevation apps I tried.
