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. ### 4/5 — MGRS font too large on Apple Watch *2024-04-24, version 3.3.1* Used this app for years, but the latest version, the font is too large on my SE 2022 Apple Watch in the MGRS screen. Thanks ### 5/5 — Altitude *2024-04-08, version 3.3.1* I have used this as we have crossed the country and during my time in Florida. It is amazing how much of this state will be under water in the next 30 or 40 years. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2024-01-20, version 3.3.1* I give this app an A+. ### 5/5 — Nice to know *2023-08-01, version 3.3.1* Good tool to assist with altitude sickness. ### 5/5 — Where I am… *2023-05-23, version 3.3.1* I enjoy being able to separate true north from magnetic north. ### 5/5 — Status *2023-04-25, version 3.3.1* Great app. Saved my life when I was diving preventing the bens ### 4/5 — Ed *2023-04-10, version 3.3.1* I use altimeter to helper my zero for better correct hits in different places ### 5/5 — Review *2023-03-26, version 3.3.1* Simple system, very handy to have fast access ### 5/5 — How Hi am I *2023-03-22, version 3.3.1* works great to see how high you are ### 5/5 — Mt Bike ridin *2023-03-05, version 3.3* I use the app a lot when ridin in Columbia Rive Gorge, Oregon USA ### 4/5 — Oportunidad de información *2023-01-23, version 3.2.1* Muy buena app ### 2/5 — Not super accurate *2022-12-18, version 3.2.1* While this might be good find out about how high you are it's worthless if your try to determine elevation exactly, like how high is each end of your yard, it can show 6-8 foot differences when you have only moved 20 feet and can clearly see it's less than a foot difference. ### 5/5 — Altimeter *2022-12-04, version 3.2.1* A great app ### 5/5 — Altimeter *2022-11-25, version 3.2.1* Very helpful as I travel frequently and live on a lake and by the chesapeake bay ### 5/5 — Great app. *2022-10-19, version 3.2.1* Works great when traveling. Just a fun app for me to watch elevation. I’m sure some use it for other reasons. ### 2/5 — Not accurate *2022-09-26, version 3.2.1* I don’t think it’s that accurate and it bounces around a lot ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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!! ### 1/5 — This is a BS app *2024-04-23, version 3.3.1* I was 34 levels up and it said 17 feet then 5 meters I can tell you I was higher than 5 meters ### 1/5 — Beware Altitude App Add Removal Charge *2022-12-27, version 3.2.1* Gave this a 1 star rating because the app gives no preview of charge cost for add removal and immediately bills you. In my opinion this is very underhand and users beware!!! ### 1/5 — Rarely connects to signal *2022-05-20, version 3.2.1* Grade D+. Doesn’t connect vis wifi or 5G quickly. May take 30-60 secs. Altitude only helpful if interested in nearest 50’ of elevation. ### 1/5 — Data stealing app *2021-11-28, version 3.2.1* Data stealing app ### 1/5 — Not very accurate *2021-06-24, version 3.2.1* More than 100 feet out in most cases ### 1/5 — Horrible UI doesn’t even show altitude *2021-02-03, version 3.1.2* Only works in portrait mode Landscape might’ have displayed the altitude which is covered up by the bottom icons. It’s useless on an iPhone 10 ### 1/5 — Nothing happens *2021-02-01, version 3.1.2* As others have said, it opens, a pic of a globe crescent appears, and nothing more... no prompts, nothing. ### 1/5 — Did not work *2021-01-25, version 3.1.2* I downloaded the app, opened it and all I saw wall a splash screen with an add. Nothing worked and no amount was given to get rid of the ads. Lame. ### 1/5 — Does nothing *2021-01-16, version 3.1.2* Literally does nothing. Just a globe on a screen ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 ### 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. ### 5/5 — Altimeter App *2024-06-11, version 3.3.1* This Altimeter App is really nice and very accurate! ### 5/5 — South Dakota trip *2024-05-02, version 3.3.1* Custer State Park in the Mount Rushmore were a lot more fun with this toy in hand --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
