  1. 5/5Solid

    For the last several years, I have relied on this app to both determine as well as bookmark for future reference the altitude of the location, some visiting, I’m not a professional, or amateur hiker, camper, or an adventure. However, it is very interesting to find out how different the nature is a different altitudes. For example, when I was visiting different areas of Serengeti and Ngorongoro national parks. The epic solid, absolutely nonintrusive and performs flawlessly, doing exactly what it is expected to do. Highly recommended.

  2. 5/5Works on watch without requiring iphone

    Altitude is updated to current position as soon as you open the app. Many altitude apps don’t work without your iphone nearby, on, and communicating with your apple watch. This one works without the need for the iphone. the other app i found that works without the iphone doesn’t update to current position unless you open it twice.

  3. 5/5Works great

    Works great but would like to see a complication for Apple Watch if that would be possible in the near future other than that everything works fine

  5. 5/5MGRS font sized fixed!

    I don’t know if it was an app or watchOS fix, but the MGRS display on my SE 2022 watch is now correct. Thanks

    Hey there, I'm back with another Altimeter update! Here's what's new: Today you can have more control over the data displayed. Previously you could already choose between metric and imperial units, now you can display both at the same time and also specify their order. You will find a parameter in the settings menu. The selected unit is also taken into account when sending. If you like Altimeter as much as I do, please consider leaving a tip and/or a review on the App Store.
