### 1/5 — Not accurate on iPad

*2019-03-04*

This ap used to be accurate on my old iPad, now have latest model and ap has never been correct since.  Deleted old ap, purchased again still does not match historical data.
Works accurately on iPhone just terrible on iPad.

### 2/5 — Where is the watch app?

*2018-04-23*

This app seems to work OK on my iPhone, but is MIA on my Apple Watch. The app appears neither on my watch nor on the app list in my Apple Watch app. That’s the reason I bought It! Will be happy to upgrade my review if somebody can show me how to make the watch app appear.

### 5/5 — Interesting app

*2017-09-08*

For armchair geographers, this is addictive.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2017-04-25*

Used this app while hiking. Fount it to be very accurate.  Helped me track relative altitude from starting at sea level to the peaks. Helped me keep track of the vertical change over the trail to validate the trail guidebook.  Great app keep making improvements.

### 5/5 — Simple, Easy, Accurate

*2016-12-16*

Great app.  No brain damage.   It is amazingly accurate within a reasonable measuring range. 

I took a reading of a local landmark which I know is 5409 feet by land survey.  The app readings ranged from 5395 to 5420.  That's within 0.3% accuracy.  Perfect- not always. Very very darn close- you betcha!

### 1/5 — Horrible App & company

*2016-09-17, version 4.0.1*

branchenking LTD is one of the worst app companies in the business. their Apps either don't work, crash, blackout or are unreliable. their customer service is beyond poor. I highly recommend staying clear of any of their products.

### 5/5 — Very handy app!

*2016-09-02*

I use it all the time driving down the road.

### 2/5 — Another ripoff

*2016-03-13*

Just another one of those applications where you have to continue to buy more. Not worth the money. I should have known better.

### 1/5 — Don't waste your money

*2016-01-31, version 4.0.1*

You can get more functionality in other apps for free

### 1/5 — Far from accurate

*2015-05-30, version 4.0.1*

Not worth 1.99.....
