User reviews
This is the only altimeter app I could find with a history graph! Love the logging options and CSV export. That said, as other have reviewed, the analog dial is impossible to read the red inner even when not driving. Please provide the option to swap the woodgrain for an aircraft style and to remove the dial gauge and jumbo size the text. Lastly, a 'keep screen on' option would make the app perfect. (I'm an aircraft lover, and they are designed to be easy to read!)

Awesome little app. Worth the purchase. Been using this for years

This is a fantastic app for keeping track of your elevation and tuning barometers and reference maps. Includes 3 ways to determine elevation, GPS built into phone, Global Elevation map, and pressure sensor. Maps can be downloaded and used offline later. Must have for hikers.
