This small and simple app will use the phones sensors to measure an current (absolute) altitude. You can also set a baseline and measure from there (relative measurement). The app is perfect for measuring height of for example an elevator. Notes: * The absolute height can be affected by weather. * The relative sensor might drift over time.
