Features & Capabilities

Altitude is the most accurate altimeter for Android, giving precise altitude readings alongside current, average and maximum speed, distance, time and direction. View maximum and minimum elevation for any route, save journeys for later, and visualize height and speed with interactive graphs. Routes display on maps and can be shared via Facebook, messaging apps or email.

Ideal for running, cycling, hiking, skiing and general outdoor navigation, Altitude also provides per-mile or per-kilometer stats (average speed, time, elevation gained/lost). Easily configurable units (km/h, mph, meters, feet) and a built-in compass help you orient and customize the app. Note: GPS signal is required, so the app works best outdoors.

User Reviews

Altitude is a handy all-in-one elevation tool praised for usefulness and a simple UI, especially for outdoor activities. However, multiple reviews note inconsistent altitude readings, unreliable location/GPS, and stability problems. Feature gaps (coordinates display, better export formats, sea-level support) are common requests. Overall it’s valuable when it works reliably, but device-dependent accuracy and reliability vary.

Pros

All-in-one elevation/altitude data in a single app.
Very useful for hiking, hill walking, driving, and cycling (go-to elevation tool).
Accurate altitude readings on supported devices.
Simple, clean user interface that is easy to use.
Generally positive sentiment and useful on the go.

Cons

Altitude readings can be inconsistent or inaccurate across devices (e.g., large variance in readings).
GPS/location sometimes fails to locate the user or works intermittently.
Stability/performance issues such as slowing devices and occasional crashes or overlays (e.g., compass not working).
Missing features/limitations (below sea level support, need coordinates display, export/share formats like .gpx vs .jpg).
