User Reviews

The app is praised for real-time altitude on widgets and watch complications, CarPlay support, and strong developer responsiveness at a good price. However, users repeatedly report issues with unit switching to feet on the watch, inconsistent auto-updates, stability/crashes, and occasional accuracy discrepancies across devices.
Pros
  • Real-time altitude shown on the widget and watch complication with auto-updates on the Apple Watch.
  • Watch compatibility with complications and a CarPlay widget enhances quick elevation checks.
  • Active, responsive developer with ongoing updates and fast responses to questions.
  • Good value for money as a dedicated altimeter app.
Cons
  • Cannot reliably switch to feet on the Apple Watch; meters are commonly displayed instead.
  • Complication auto-updates are inconsistent and sometimes require tapping to refresh.
  • Reliability issues include frequent crashes, instability, or the display showing dashes rather than altitude.
  • Accuracy can be inconsistent across devices (e.g., some watches/phones show different readings or remain static).

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

Thanks for adding the small widget. The application now works as a CarPlay widget. Give this guy a beer!🍺
