User reviews

Inconsistent

Looked good at first, nice layout, etc. Temp. In 30s.

Several side-by-side elevations clearly yielded flawed elevations (e.g., lower curb elevation shown higher, etc.). Enough unreliability to render the app moot for rough topographic use. Unfortunate.

Great

I've only use this app a short time for search & Rescue. It's a great app. Works very well.

Accurate and it does the job.

I use this app at construction sites to verify the elevations of deferent areas and it does the job. Thank you.

Excellent

The elevation reported is very accurate. Also, unlike most other elevation apps this one displays an uncertainty tolerance and identifies the digital elevation darabase it uses.

Accurate

This is the most accurate elevation app I have found on the App Store.
