1. 5/5Perfect!

   Love the simple design and background pictures. No need to log in, just open the app and there is your altitude, latitude and longitude, and a compass. Large print and works even where cell service is limited, as long as a connection is established before service is lost. Ads are not disruptive to the experience. I’ve been using this app for years without issue and like it much more than the similar app my husband downloaded by mistake. He deleted it and installed this one.

2. 4/5Helpful and useful but not precise

   Overall, this app was simple to install and does track your altitude when standing still, walking or driving. If the old saying “Close us close enough” works for you you’ll be quite pleased with it. The only down side is that I can be standing still in a location and the app keeps changing the altitude. It might count up ten or fifteen feet, start counting down from whatever altitude it stops at, then reverse and count up again. Just to make sure that I wasn’t somehow causing the fluctuations I set the phone on a flat surface, but the “indecision” by the app continued. So bottom line, if you’re just curious to see approximately what altitude you’re at (e.g. about 1500 feet above sea level) it’s perfect! But if you need more precise information you’ll need to opt for a more precise meter. But hey! It’s a free app. So for the average person who’s just wanting to know approximate altitude or whether a slight grade is going up or down, I’d highly recommend this app.

3. 5/5Some minor issues but main stuff works well

   I still see ads despite buying no ads option. I think it triggered when I pressed “more apps” button. Some things seem to work a little slow and wonky but to be fair, I am using an almost 5 year old device. Will update review as I see progress on the app. Keep up the effort. Please fix your app support store link, it goes to a 404.

4. 4/5Nice, but lacks a key feature

   I like how this works with one glaring exception. I wish I could lock the app so it wouldn’t timeout when I’m driving. I connect to CarPlay and like to see my elevation as I drive. Unfortunately the app times out and the screen goes blank. It would be a five star app if that didn’t happen. It has a nice easy interface to work with, clear information. Easy to add features and you can remove ads for cheap. Good app, just want it to continually display while driving.

5. 5/5Altimeter

   This altimeter is totally useless.!! It’s readings swing wildly minute by minute day by day. I live at an elevation of approximately 80 feet near the Pacific Ocean in Los Angeles. This altimeter indicates 80 feet one minute and 53 feet the next minute and 90 the next minute then 103 feet.... Useless Now there are ads covering everything I can’t see the elevation because the stupid ads are covering it up. I can’t get rid of the ads horrible..!’
