## What is Up High?

Use the Barometric Altimeter in your Series 3 & 4 Watch! 

Designed for Apple Watch Series 3 & 4 (and works with other watches for gps altitude only), Up High allows direct access to the barometric altimeter sensor, while also providing estimates on the current weather conditions using atmospheric pressure. Also track your relative altitude and monitor how much elevation you gain or lose during your movement. Atmospheric pressure can help predict weather, headaches, and even joint pain. 

Even without a cellular or wifi connection, Up High estimates what the weather conditions are like using the barometer detecting the current atmospheric pressure.

Apple Watch Series 3 & 4:
• Monitor your current atmospheric pressure (kPa)
• Monitor your relative altitude gain or loss
• Watch face complication will update with the current gps altitude*
• GPS Altitude for current altitude and GPS coordinates (scroll with the Digital Crown to access)
• Tap number for unit change (feet & meters)

Apple Watch Series 2 and below:
• GPS Altitude for current altitude and GPS coordinates (for Series 2 watch will work independent of your iPhone)
• Watch face complication will update with the current gps altitude*
• Tap number for unit change (feet & meters)

iOS
• Monitor your current atmospheric pressure (kPa)
• Monitor your relative altitude gain or loss
• GPS altimeter for current altitude and GPS coordinates
• Tap number for unit change (feet & meters)

**Pressure is in kPa only.**

*For watch face complications to stay updated, please enable "Always Allow" for location access. Updates are made approximately every 30 minutes.

## Key features

- Barometric altimeter readings
- Atmospheric pressure monitoring
- GPS altitude and coordinates
- Relative altitude gain/loss tracking

### 5/5 — Works with my IPhone

*2020-11-19, version 1.05*

Great app that works with my iPhone 4.

### 1/5 — Where is the barometer???

*2020-10-17, version 1.05*

Sold with barometer in the name ... but I can’t locate a high altitude barometer anywhere in the app on my iPhone.

### 4/5 — Complication works!

*2019-03-01, version 1.05*

Just loaded it only my infograph dial (apple watch v. 4)— very nice!

### 1/5 — No watch face

*2019-02-18, version 1.05*

Where is the advertised watch face? I feel it was false advertisement.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2019-01-19, version 1.05*

Works great on my watch, and on the face too! I can always see my current attitude on my watch face! Great job!

### 5/5 — Works as advertised

*2019-01-01, version 1.05*

One annoyance is it wasn’t easy to figure out how to change units on the watch app (just tap the altitude number). Otherwise great.

Feature request: altitude graph for larger complication interface

### 1/5 — No Complication for Apple Watch

*2018-11-29, version 1.05*

Although the description describes a Complication for the Apple Watch Infographic, it actually doesn’t work. The sole reason I bought it and it doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Where is the Apple Watch complication?

*2018-10-01, version 1.04*

Why is there no Apple Watch complication that shows current altitude?

**Developer response:** Thank you for leaving a review, an update has now been released with version 1.05 that supports the new Series 4 InfoGraph and InfoGraph Modular Watch faces and complications.

### 2/5 — Complication Not Available

*2018-09-27, version 1.04*

I just downloaded the app for use on my Apple Watch 4 and the complication is not available. Are you working on an update?

**Developer response:** Thank you for leaving a review, an update has now been released with version 1.05 that supports the new Series 4 InfoGraph and InfoGraph Modular Watch faces and complications.

### 3/5 — Looks promising. Series 4 complication support?

*2018-09-24, version 1.04*

Looks great and works on old watch faces. It does not show up in the new watch faces designed for the Apple Watch Series 4. Any chance of support for that?

**Developer response:** Thank you for leaving a review, an update has now been released with version 1.05 that supports the new Series 4 InfoGraph and InfoGraph Modular Watch faces and complications.

## Frequently asked questions about Up High

### What does the Up High app do?

Up High uses your device's barometric altimeter to show your current altitude and atmospheric pressure. It can also estimate weather conditions based on pressure changes and track how much elevation you gain or lose during your movements. The app works even without a cellular or Wi-Fi connection.

### What are the key features of this altimeter app?

Key features include monitoring current atmospheric pressure in kPa, tracking relative altitude gain or loss, and providing GPS altitude and coordinates. It also offers weather condition estimations and allows for unit changes between feet and meters.

### Is this app free to use?

Yes, the application is available for free. There are no in-app purchases or advertisements mentioned in the provided data.

### What devices is Up High compatible with?

The app is designed for Apple Watch Series 3 & 4, but also works with other Apple Watch models for GPS altitude. It is also compatible with iOS devices. Specific features may vary slightly between different Apple Watch generations.

### How can I use this app for weather prediction?

The app estimates current weather conditions by monitoring atmospheric pressure. Changes in pressure detected by the barometer can help predict upcoming weather patterns. This feature is particularly useful for outdoor activities where weather can change rapidly.
