## Most critical reviews (8 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — HTTP error on receiving pressure from airport.

*2023-10-16*

It says Error: Unable to access server. HTTP error 404 every time I try to get my local airport pressure. Not a great experience considering I’ve paid for this.

### 1/5 — No show  on watch

*2023-10-11*

Still no show on watch store

**Developer response:** Go on your Watch, open the Watch’s App Store app, scroll down and tap “Account”, then tap “Purchases”, then install the app on the Watch from there.

### 2/5 — Unfortunately not worth it.

*2025-05-04*

Manually entering the barometric pressure (trying all the options) results in over 145,000 ft in error!

**Developer response:** This usually means you did not give the app permission to use Motion & Fitness tracking (or you have that disabled in your Motion & Fitness settings on your iPhone, which then blocks the Watch as well).

### 2/5 — Non functioning complication on WatchOS 10.3 Beta

*2023-12-26*

I bought this only for the watch face complication. Two problems with that:   The elevation does not appear in the complication, only dashes. And the huge logo means if the elevation did appear, it would be a tiny font. Remove that logo please.

### 3/5 — Airports option gone after upgrade to iPhone 17

*2025-12-14*

Great app while it was working on iPhone 14 Pro Max but on 17 Pro Max the Airports selection have disappeared. It is all enabled in Motion & Fitness and set to “precise” and “when using”.

### 5/5 — Clear Altimeter

*2025-03-16*

The Altimeter is very clear and with the different options to set the base pressure it is ideal for my use.  I would like the addition of an alarm you could set when reaching or deviating from a set height.

### 5/5 — Best altimeter for watch

*2023-10-08*

I have downloaded about 5 barometer / altimeter apps. This is the best. On the Apple Watch ultra all the other apps fail to work when the app looses gps signal. This app will still display a calibrated barometric or pressure altitude  with gps signal failure. 

You can calibrate with altitude, pressure, gps. From a pilot perspective it is the only app that has been implemented properly. 

Well done. 

Also Craig’s Theoolite app for iPhone is superb. Use it for chopping down trees to see where they going to fall and a variety of other uses. 

Great developer. 

Thanks
Sean
