Elevation For Real 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.

Works well!

Simple to use. Well designed.

Thank you!

This is exactly what I was looking for. Only thing more I could want would be an option to calculate and show the geoidal separation on iPhone 4/5. This app is worth 5 stars for the 'about' info alone. It not only properly describes the difference in measurements from the ellipsoid and EGM96 geoid but also tells you what the iPhone 4/5 reports when asked for location, something I haven't been able to google despite trying for a while. This app will be invaluable to spot check outputs from other GPS devices to see what they are reporting. Thank you!

Great app

What a great little app! We're house hunting and want to know the elevation of the houses we look at. This does the trick perfectly. We can tell which homes are out of the tsunami danger zone. Just what I wanted when I got the app.

Très bonne app

Il est rare de trouver des applis gratuites utilisant une base de données d'altitudes réelles (USGS pour les USA et SRTM pour le reste du monde). Bien plus précis que l'altitude GPS fournie par toutes les applis standards.

V2.4 (current free version) works perfectly in Marin County, California

This app did exactly what I wanted during my walks between sea level and 2750 ft elevation around Marin County in the San Francisco Bay area. Within half a minute or so, it told me what my elevation was, with estimates from both the iPhone 3G GPS and the USGS database, indexed by latitude and longitude. With longer periods of sampling, the two estimates generally converged within 20 ft or so, even on mountain paths. It is really a terrific addition to the phone, complementing the main feature that the built-in Maps for iPhone lacked.

Good app

I just wanted an app that could tell me my current elevation. It did exactly that. Ran fine I have a Verizon iphone4.

Super!

Hey, these guys are super in creating this app. This is not a toy. This is a pro-consumer app. Great support. Lots of uses and a great learning tool for school kids and curious folks.

Calcule la cote au geoide

Très bon produit permet de connaitre son altitude avec précision .

Great app, can't beat the price

I was looking for a simple app to show elevation at my current location and this does that nicely. Not super accurate, but wasn't expecting that. Has a very nice user interface.

Well thought out app that does the job quickly

I started this app for the first time indoors when the shades were closed. It still worked! They also explain why most other altimeters for the iPhone don't work properly. Nice.

Fun to know

Informative

Surprisingly Accurate

From the top of the mountain at Snowbird, UT to the coast of NC, this app is surprisingly accurate. If you don't require pinpoint accuracy, this free app is quite handy for those who are casually curious.

Works

Works great for me fo sho

Great!

I read the reviews and was like this will waste my time. But no I downloaded it and I love it. It works perfectly. It shows the same elevation somewhere, as my google earth. I mean for free, you can't beat it. :-)

Works Great!

This app works really well and you can tell it corrects the elevation. USGS elevation matches topo contour maps for areas I ckecked.
