Pure Pressure Altimeter

Features & Capabilities

Altimeter for Aviators is a pure pressure altimeter app designed primarily for Apple Watch, with compatibility on iPhone and iPad that have a barometer. It does not rely on GPS and can run standalone on supported devices, making it a valuable training tool for student and instructor pilots alike.

Use it to learn the concepts behind altitude measurement: set the pressure setting to sea-level pressure (QNH), zero (QFE) for a location, and view Flight Level using 1013.25 mb. The app offers unit options (mb/hPa vs inHg), a crown-driven interface, locking, color-coded altitude recency, and warnings about accuracy and weather-related drift; note it is not a substitute for real flight instruments.

User Reviews

Users repeatedly praise Altimeter for Aviators for its simple, intuitive interface, clear gauges, and accurate iPhone readings, plus strong usefulness as a learning tool for students and CFIs, and as a practical backup altimeter in challenging terrain. The most mentioned drawback is inconsistent Apple Watch support and accuracy, with some users seeing no readings or incorrect values on certain models, limiting its wearables usefulness.

Pros

Easy to use with a simple, intuitive interface.
Clear aviation-style gauges that are easy to read in flight.
Accurate altimeter readings on iPhone, comparable to a real instrument.
Great learning tool for student pilots and CFIs to understand altimetry.
Useful as a backup altimeter in mountains or during flights.

Cons

Apple Watch support is inconsistent; some models show no readings or unreliable results, while others work well.

I purchased the 10 foot altitude increment to see if it gives any more resolution. It breaks the app. Don’t taste the $2.

This is by far the nicest altimeter App I’ve tested in the App Store. Easy operation and very clear aviation style guages. However it’s missing one key feature, Apple CarPlay integration. In today’s world our phones are not hanging on our dashboards anymore. We have huge LCD dashboards that support CarPlay Widgits. This App is a natural for use as a Widgit. PLEASE cosider updating it. Thanks !!
