We analyzed 69 negative reviews of Altimeter+ from the App Store. Here's what users are saying.
Complete failure to persist unit settings - resets to meters every session despite users setting feet
"The Apple Watch compatibility will not save the feet measurement so it defaults to meters every time you open it. Frustrating!"
"Most general aviation and commercial aircraft use feet for elevation and not meters. This app allows you to change to feet but every time it leaves the screen and you have to come back to it you have to change it from meters back to feet."
unfortunately the app begs for reviews. its a great tool… but because it does this, it gets only one star. thats policy.
Barometer calibration doesn’t work on Apple Watch. There are also typos in the UI. Not worth $0.99.
It works great but I wish it would work while flying too and while in plain mode but it doesn’t. I thought I red something that it works but it did not. That was the main reason I got it. Too bad. But other than that it works great.
I’m on a flight now and other GPS Apps work, but not this…
I recently purchased this and used it while boarding an aircraft to jump, but I only need a reference to my SD altimeter . Do I need to bring my phone to work?
The app doesn’t open.
Plus or minus 10ft does not work well when you live at or near sea level. They should tell you this before purchase.
Adds nothing you can’t already get from the free compass that comes with iPhone or Apple Watch, and it prompts you to “calibrate” every day.
