User reviews

I like it

My experience has been that this app Elevation correlates with Garmin and paper topo maps Better than Gaia or Strava.

My primary use is for tracking heart rate.

The other data is a bonus providing, speed & distance.
Really useful when planning a backcountry ski route.

I still rely on Gaia for where we are on the map/route, but find that Gaia
Elevation stats very more widely.

One request would be to provide the user with the ability to specify which fields are shown on the watch, you know drag the fields around in an order that focuses on my priorities. Still in all set up is very good!

I must’ve looked at a dozen other apps, and this is what I’m using

DO NOT BUY THIS APP

This app is completely inaccurate for tracking elevation. It does not actually track elevation well.

I do not recommend this app.

Accurate to +/-20% in my area

It’s a nice app, does what I was looking for however the data it uses is coarse grained and inaccurate in my area at least. I just walked a route that I know is about 250m of ascent and it credited 200m. At the main place where it has a problem on my test route I can stand at the bottom of the hill and look at the current elevation, then walk strenuously uphill about 15-20m and it says my current elevation is now about 2m lower than at the bottom of the hill. That spot was on my walk twice (out and back that takes in a small 40m valley that the app thinks is about 10) so would account for the 50m under-measurement of the walk, but if the app doesn’t report accurately unfortunately it’s not much good to me. Neither data source seems to improve the problem. Suggestion to the developer - maybe add barometer sensor fusion to improve accuracy?

Works Great

I walk city streets and hills and this works really well. Easy to read and it will also display my route. Pretty accurate too.

Not working

Basically it does not work. Waste of money.

Response from developer

Not sure why you would say that. I've logged hundreds of miles of hikes and bike rides since you posted this review.
