5/5Give this man a beer!
Hands-down the best altimeter app out there. I tried so many and only this one allows to show real time altitude on the widget page. On the history page, if we click the green dot, it should direct us to the associated altitude and its data. That’s the only suggestion. Thank you!

5/5A complication capability
Just what I was looking for! I’m using this altitude app as a complication on my watch! Only one minor issue, the normal display before I push the complication is expressed in meters, in spite of the fact that I have selected feet. Not sure how to make it show in feet!

5/5Watch Complications
Great app! But I do have a suggestion… instead of fancy graphs showing in the middle complication on the watch can we have ONE LARGE number that will represent the elevation??

5/5Solid
I’ve tried several altimeter apps and widgets. This is the only one that works. Great app, great interface, great widget, and great support.

3/5It’s a great phone app but…
It does exactly what I want on my phone but I really want it for my watch. My Apple Watch 10 will only display In metric. I can select measurement units and unit speed but I cannot change either to US measurements.
