In addition to the speed, there is an altimeter. This is useful and seems accurate. The compass is also good. I’d like to magnify certain parameters to make it better for my poor eyesight.

### 1/5 — Free version is kinda useless

*2024-03-09*

The app looks nice but the free version keeps playing a video ad every five minutes. If you have a music app playing , it cuts it off. I don’t mind an ad on a free app, but to make it a video ad is super annoying and there is no skip!
