Downloaded this app today and attempted to do the half price upgrade but it keeps erroring out. Guess they don't actually want my money so I'll keep using as is.

Was working great ... but no longer shows up on my Watch6 Classic, despite attempting uninstall/reinstall. Suggestions?

Seems to be the only simple altimeter I was able to find. Works for Pixel watch. Great, thanks! Long tap to get to the settings is non trivial to find though. And small font on that arc on the right is unreadable, and what the arrow means one can only guess :) Tile would be convenient to have... Also: what does "GPS Enabled" note mean, esp. when I disabled GPS in settings, to rely on baro only... "Long press to hide" does not hide it, exiting the app does not hide it, only reboot gets rid of it
