User reviews

Users appreciate the app for offline usage, simple UI, and helpful GPS-linked elevation tracking, especially during outdoor activities like hiking. However, many report significant inaccuracies in altitude readings, poor battery efficiency with persistent foreground operation, and confusing or buggy user interface elements. The app's additional features, including hike recording, often malfunction or require premium purchase. While it offers some useful functionalities, reliability and usability issues impact user satisfaction.
Pros
  • Works offline, useful when hiking or in areas without internet.
  • Simple and easy to use interface for tracking hikes and elevation.
  • Good supplementary features like GPS location, longitude and latitude display.
  • Affordable premium version with no ads and extra features.
  • Provides real-time elevation history via barometric sensor.
Cons
  • Inconsistent and often inaccurate altitude readings, sometimes off by hundreds of feet.
  • Battery consumption is high; app runs constantly in foreground and drains battery.
  • User interface issues: confusing placement of buttons, small print, no dark mode support.
  • App repeatedly prompts to disable battery optimization but instructions/settings are unclear or ineffective.
  • Some features like hike recording and route display are unreliable or buggy.

I use it for verifying the accuracy (the "sameness") of other instruments/sensors, or just basic FYI stuff, and it serves those purposes quite well. Love it!

Great ap for tracking hikes - simple to use & position is easy to track. When my Swiss friend saw how well it works, she downloaded the altimeter ap to her device. ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š
