Baro feature broken
Apple Watch series 11, latest iOS, gets stuck on calibrating to local elevation. I got this app for that feature many years ago.

begs for reviews
unfortunately the app begs for reviews. its a great tool… but because it does this, it gets only one star. thats policy.

Doesn’t work on Apple Watch
Barometer calibration doesn’t work on Apple Watch. There are also typos in the UI. Not worth $0.99.

Awesome sauce
For .99 this app is a no brainer. The jump to google earth zoom in from the altimeter is cool Beans too!

Hiking and way finding
I have used this program with maps teaching my kids how to not get lost and just to verify the height of a road or on a ski mountain. Thrilled to have it. Thank you.

A best travel feature.
A family member has a heart/lung issue that affects the ability to survive elevation above 3,000’ over night while sleeping.
I use this for determining camping elevations. 👍

I used this ap in the mountains of northern Idaho, someone asked about elevation and I had the answer.
Thanks

Excellent!
I have been using this altimeter for a wide variety of activities, and whenever comparing with known altitude it has been right on.

Barometer calibration not working on Ultra 2 11.1
Barometer calibration not working on Apple Watch Ultra 2 WatchOS 11.1. Need this function to offset altitude from my current ground altitude. Help!! App has all the potential, the best one by far, just need this fixed. Thank you.

Plain mode
It works great but I wish it would work while flying too and while in plain mode but it doesn’t. I thought I red something that it works but it did not. That was the main reason I got it.
Too bad. But other than that it works great.

Works Well
I have checked it against posted altitudes many times and it’s always right on the mark, so I have great confidence when I measure a very random location. I consider it very reliable.

Phenomenal App and so FUN
I can’t believe how often I use this. You too will find yourself standing on a cliff above the ocean wondering how high you are! This gives you the answer immediately. It just sits there and waits because the App knows you’ll be back soon!

Works perfectly, great app
This app gives you multiple choices as far as data sources
Can easily be calibrated via known altitude
It makes me sad that people give Apps bad reviews when they don’t understand how science works

Has stopped working!
I’m on a flight now and other GPS Apps work, but not this…

I may have tapped in the wrong star. Meant to give it a 5 star rating.

It’s not working on Apple Watch
I recently purchased this and used it while boarding an aircraft to jump, but I only need a reference to my SD altimeter . Do I need to bring my phone to work?

Couple recommendations
This is easily the best altimeter app but I’m not sure it is being supported. It would be nice to see an updated version (no updates in 3+ years)
Would like to be able to use it in iOS live activity so I can see it when my iPhone locks.
I love the app when I can read it (which is most of the time) when it is bright outside it is difficult to read. The dark background is the only option. that allows you to change from black to white.

Issues
Plus or minus 10ft does not work well when you live at or near sea level. They should tell you this before purchase.
NJRCACC2022-12-25

Not worth paying for
Adds nothing you can’t already get from the free compass that comes with iPhone or Apple Watch, and it prompts you to “calibrate” every day.

Work great, no problems
Great app for what it is. Used it for years, never a problem. Highly recommend!

Had it for years
Living and driving around in the rockies between 5-14k ft. Whip this out every now and then for various uses. No qualms here.

AGL
I like this app. I would like to see an enhancement allowing the user to zero current altitude and provide AGL (above ground level altitude. )
