50/50

This altimeter is ok but it only gives a sea level altitude. This app would get 4 stars of a rating from me if one could set it to either AGL and or for Sea level. A Kollsmen window and Barber pole would earn it 5+ stars
Complications don’t work on new watch faces

I bought this app to get altitude on a watchface. It turns out that the app needs to be updated to get complications on the new watch faces. Please update.
Very poor installation and user experience
Fut the whuck?
A complete hack job of an app. Will not correctly install on watch 5 with cellular. Many circular error messages. No english language support. Barometric pressure at US airports is in inches, and no way to enter the local pressure to calibrate. Watch says “Requires iPhone. Please launch “altimeter plus” on iphone to complete setup. Did that. Nothing. Dead end. Deleted. Reinstalled. Both on phone and watch. Nothing. Phone app will not function until both phone and watch are rebooted. Serious pairing problems. Watch app will not work without phone.
Simple & Helpful

I use this only with iPhone 7 and works perfectly. If I’m driving in mountains I sometimes check with posted elevation signs and agreement very close. Thanks!
Surprisingly Accurate on WiFi
SierraTech
Our average elevation is 6340’ on WiFi in the house, it reports 6335-6345 using Aster. Happy author keeps this App up to date with iOS. I hate when apps paid for disappear from App Store!
Works great

Simple and easy to use. Works everywhere on the planet, just needs GPS signal. Quick and very precise latitude and longitude readouts.
Use it every day

I use this app every day. I’m a Ham Radio Operator. I use the app to find my elevation when operating in my car to find the best location. The higher the better. I find this app to be very accurate.
Clunky on watch....

Clunky on watch, had to open in phone to start working. Disappointed there wasn’t a simple watch compilation either. Not worth the $
Almost perfect

This has been my go to altimeter app for years. I recently got a new Apple Watch and have found my only complaint. There is no way to add this app as a complication on the watch face. Adding this functionality would bring this app back to perfect for me.
