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).

Recent reviews

This app has me confused. I was looking for a CarPlay altimeter widget for my Ford with Sync 3, so I bought a license for this app to use on my iPhone 16 Pro running iOS 27. Issues in no particular order: app display language is a mix of German and English. Why is default peak >9,000 ft? Can’t really figure out how to set it up. What is altimeter Pro? App seems to take over my iPhone; I’ve had to delete the app twice to restore phone operation. I really just want the basic widget; have no need for any other data or analysis.
