2024-08-17 | Ben | 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!) | |
2023-12-30 | Benjamin Porter | Awesome little app. Worth the purchase. Been using this for years | |
2023-02-11 | Ron Woods | 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. | |
2022-05-18 | Donald Scott | Nice interface, quick response, accurate. | |
2022-03-03 | Julian | Great little app - just use it for fun but can recommend it | |
2022-01-28 | Coray Kugler | I bought this to find elevation change on effluent pump, doesn't use GPS satellites, wants you to turn on Google track me, which is not what I like to do, at 75 plus feet higher it says I've went down hill 10 ft. Save your timr and don't bother, especially if you live in a rural area. | |
2021-02-02 | Steven Ng | My favorite Altimeter and I hope that one day you can also develop one version for my Fenix 6X watch :-) | |
2020-04-21 | A Google user | Works really well at all different Altitudes!... | |
2020-04-06 | A Google user | I truly love this app for its clean interface and usefulness. However, I do have a few suggestions: 1) Include MSL-adjusted pressure (if possible) so that it is possible to see when a low pressure system is coming. Or, add a calculator that calculates average pressure at altitude based on average MSL pressure (1013.25 mb). 2) Add a dark theme - it makes it a lot more comfortable on the eyes and is very popular. 3) Allow lots more sections(even the entire world)to be downloaded for offline map | |
2020-02-20 | A Google user | "Purchase not correctly validated, please contact support" Bought it while it is on promotion & when i opened it everytime it shows the above statement. & then the app is gone with the wind. |
