  1. 4/5Needs mph

    Fine app, allows toggling between meters and feet. However, docking a star because velocity is only provided in km/h

  2. 4/5Works great

    Driving and hiking in Colorado gave me an opportunity to look at this app. It worked great. It was consistent and was able to read altitude when I was out of Internet service.

  3. 1/5How to install on Watch?

    I have bought the ad free version, but it does not come up on my Watch 4...

  4. 4/5Feature request

    I would love having an option in settings to have the app announce current altitude either based on time (every 30 mins or 60 mins) or based on altitude (every 1000 ft or 500 ft). On the high alpine mountains it isn’t easy to stop and manually check. Thanks for your hard work.

  5. 1/5Not accurate

    My wife & I are sitting next to each other and our corresponding Altimeters do not reflect the same altitude. Off but at least 700 feet.
