### 5/5 — N801bz

*2019-12-24, version 2.0*

Quick and location accurate. A must for Mtn flying.

### 5/5 — Does what it says

*2019-07-17, version 1.6*

This app does what it says! That is all I want Friday m an app

### 5/5 — Great app

*2019-07-06, version 1.6*

Fast and accurate flight planning aid

### 5/5 — Works well

*2018-11-25, version 1.6*

Wanted something to quickly calculate DA so I could input into my ballistics shooting app. I know this is designed for pilots but I thought it worth the try. Non humid days, works well. High humidity it’s off. I know this app uses dry air formula so not knocking the app. Developer did mention other possible uses tho. 
To be able to manually enter values by turning off an automatic fill button would be  great. 

DA is becoming a more widely used method on ballistic applications over the previous idea of entering elevation and temperatures. 
Thanks!!

### 5/5 — Simple and Useful

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — No way to set altitude

*2018-03-23, version 1.6*

Pointless for planning purposes. Only uses GPS altitude without method to enter manual altitude. Ridiculous.

### 2/5 — Ok buts needs to be able to add relative humidity for location

*2019-09-07, version 1.6*

Needs to be able to add relative humidity for current location to make it more accurate. This app is is usually 300-400 feet off compared to other apps since I can adjust humidity for my current location. We use this for drag racing so it’s important to be fairly accurate.

### 3/5 — GPS elevation

*2022-10-21, version 2.6.2*

GPS elevation doesn’t always update on the fly reliably. Example you check at bottom of a hike. Then gain 2,000’ elevation after hike. Check app again. GPS altitude/elevation doesn’t change. Don’t see how it can be accurate given this occurrence

### 4/5 — Drag Racer

*2025-08-29, version 2.8*

We are in the test stage for this app. It appears reasonabley accurate and consistent. I’m not sure how close it is to the track though. Still assessing

### 4/5 — Make the Location changeable.

*2020-12-05, version 2.3*

It would deserve a five star rating if I could manually change the location.

### 4/5 — Celsius

*2019-04-08, version 1.6*

The app seems to work as advertised. 

Celsius is misspelled in the preferences pane and the preferences themselves are not found in Settings but rather in the app itself. Both these things are a bit grating.

### 4/5 — Super useful app,  but!!!!

*2015-08-09, version 1.3*

Really good app but need to add celcius option please!!!!!!

### 5/5 — Improvement suggestion

*2026-07-01, version 2.8*

App works great and is parallel to a Kestrel at actual locations. Would like the option to save locations or drop pins for favorites. This is beneficial for monitoring trends for future outings. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Great App but needs Apple Watch Widget

*2025-09-07, version 2.8*

This app is great for its simplicity and ease of use. I also like how the App Store indicates that no data is collected from the app. I just wish it could integrate into the display for the Apple Watch as this is something I often reference when towing in the mountains.

### 5/5 — Excellent but wish there was a watch app

*2024-10-16, version 2.8*

By far the best density altitude app.  I just wish I could get it as an Apple Watch app with complications for my watch face.

## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great for car racing

*2022-12-22, version 2.6.3*

Great for car racing.

### 5/5 — Better GPS Accuracy

*2022-10-23, version 2.6.3*

This has always been a great App, but depending on location, GPS altitude for me could sometimes be off. With this new App update, 2.6.3, it provides increased satellite accuracy. Every reading for me is now completely accurate, every single time. An excellent App now made better!

### 5/5 — Great app I like it!

*2022-06-22, version 2.6.2*

I use it to backup my weather station data on my dyno as well as when I’m playing around with my car. 👍

### 5/5 — Long Rang Precision

*2021-04-13, version 2.4*

Works good. Doesn’t need to be perfect, just give an idea of whats going on.  Good enough to right info on a dope card.

### 5/5 — Awesome developer!!!

*2020-08-16, version 2.1*

Ok so the fact that they added stuff for racers when someone asked is awesome! Only thing I would like to see is the barometric pressure. Other than that this app is pretty sweet. I’m a racer BTW

### 5/5 — Outlaw kart 4

*2020-06-01, version 2.1*

Spot on with my weather station everywhere I go! Granted the weather station was 1500.00 & app was 3.99! This app is a no brainer for any on track race tuner!!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2020-05-07, version 2.0*

I really like this app. It works pretty good against my kestrel hand held weather station. I would like to see a tab for water grains in the air for the guys using it for drag racing
