Altimeter for Aviators reviews
4.6 out of 5, based on 909 reviews.
What people like
- Feels just like a real cockpit altimeter
- Super simple and easy to use
- Great tool for learning how it works
- Very accurate on modern iPhones
What they complain about
- Support is hard to reach or broken
- Watch app has connection and display issues
- VSI update rate feels too slow
- Some paid upgrades break the app
Great App!
Super simple to use. Also great for student pilots learning how the altimeter works. While it’s not so much designed for this, it has helped me understand how flying into different pressure systems impacts altimeter readings simply by adjusting the pressure settings. Thanks!
Ne marche plus !
Depuis la maj, l’app n’arrive plus à accéder aux données pression.
10 foot purchase breaks it
I purchased the 10 foot altitude increment to see if it gives any more resolution. It breaks the app. Don’t taste the $2.
Restore Purchase Option Doesn’t Work
The title says it all. Attempted to contact the developer but their that function only returns an error message, even when I enter the word, altimeter, to prove I’m not a bot. So I guess I’ll agree with the reviewer who said app support not so good.
Not useful locked out
Needs to cancel auto lock feature on phone to be useful
The App needs night mode
I love this app, works great especially VSI on highest resolution scale. I find this extremely useful when driving through mountainous terrain. When I turn on the app it is red because of old data, this needs to be a night vision option, red is preferred but blue or green might work at night as well also the header and footer need to be black at night. The white text and screen destroy my night vision. Also the deadband on the altitude flag needs to be tightened up. Zero meter screen and 1000 meter screen are the same on highest resolution screen (1m), Flag needs to transition between 995 m and 999 meter with flag half visible during transition.
Doesn‘t work on Watch 9, IPhone ok
No calibration of pressure QNH or QFE possible, no reaction. On iPhone (15 Pro with 14.7.1) calibration with no problem possible.
Excellent, almost
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 !!
High hopes, but no support?
As a pilot I was looking for an app like this, and I had high hopes that it was well supported because there was an update posted just days ago. However, I see no email address in the app or on the website. How do you have FAQs with no way people can actually ask questions? So here’s my question. I downloaded the app set the local pressure, and looked at all the options on my iPhone and Watch. Then I added the complication on my Watch. I assume the complication should display the altitude, but over three hours later I just have a dashed line. Should I be seeing the altitude? I have updated the local pressure twice now - still no complication update. How often should I expect the complication to update, if it ever does?
Remain open
Guys, is there away to keep to app open and active while I’m flying so I don’t have to open it when my screen locks? Thanks
Good.
Works exactly as I would expect.
VSI
So far the altimeter works good buy I don’t see anywhere the cost of the vsi as that is what I wanted Wish there was a contact number to email
Works with Watch SE, doesn’t work with Watch 8
It works with my Watch SE but doesn’t work with my Watch 8. It just asks me to allow on install. When I click “allow” it hangs on “reading pressure”. Strange.
1Hz max update
FYI, you will only get a 1Hz update rate from this. Makes the VSI quite useless for any manoeuvres that require precision. I believe this is an iOS limitation but it’d be nice if it was mentioned in the description before paying $2 for a jerky VSI. Overall not bad for what it is. Simplest and most intuitive app there is for iPhone.
Real pilot Altimeter
As I pilot I was looking for an Altimeter app that is the same as my aircraft altimeter. This app is simple and effective. I hope they add the choice of “drum pointer altimeter” display. This I would pay for!
TAP TO BUY upsell & blurry graphics
Screenshots are missing the big “TAP TO BUY VSI” callout on iPhone app. Watch app doesn’t have it, but watch graphics are quite fuzzy (as if the resolution is wrong). Other than that, seems to work as advertised.
Great app!
As a pilot this thing is great, the VSI is nice too for double checking cabin rate, not sure it has a refresh rate for skydive opps (which would be cool), but great app, especially on the Apple watch
Good, simple. Needs Motion and Fitness
This app used to work without any permission. Now, ios 17.4 requires Motion and Fitness data. I guess it's Apple's fault.
Good tool
Good tool for CFIs to teach altimetry. Reading altimeters including above 10,000’ and the effect of altimeter settings.
Does not indicate on watch 7
This app works GREAT on my phone. I am a flight instructor so I had many chances to use it. It is great. But it does not work on watch 7. Dial is Red indicating “no reading” any suggestions?
Bravo
As a pilot for many years, this is the first altimeter app that makes immediate sense: just “plop” the altimeter setting in, and you’re good to go. Just like in the cockpit. It’s like “KISS.” That said, for those of you that don’t understand altimetry, you do have to input an altimeter reading from a known source. There are a myriad of METAR and other apps like ATIS that you can do this with. Try to use sites within 5 statute miles of your location. Or just do it the “old fashioned way”: input your known MSL altitude, and the “Kollsman window” (Kollsman Instrument Division of the Square D Corporation) will return the field elevation altimeter setting. How’s that for a free history lesson! I’ve “promoted” this app to the top of my home page, already overstuffed with apps from A to Z. Good job, guys!
V nice
Pilot with years and hours, this app is an accurate representation of the real instrument.
Almost there.
Needs a way to calibrate watch sensor error. My watch is off by 0.1” Hg. Update, the new OS does indeed seem to calibrate the baro sensor which makes this app a home run!
Issues
Looks good. 1. Pressure setting is all driven off mg. if you change units it still increments in mg steps 2. Should have a choice of feet or meters 3 similar for rate of climb. Meters per second. 100s of feet, knots are all used 4. 30s average climb is another option. 5. You know where the phone is from gps. That means you can look up local pressure and set that automatically. There are services for this. 6. Barometer or gps should be an option 7. Gps height compared with barometer height gives local pressure if you can’t get a service Just some ideas
Amazing!
I love this app, out of all the apps I’ve tried, this one is the most accurate. Would love to see a digital output, instead of the analog altimeter. Also, just curious how often it refreshes? Could it be sped up at all? Overall, great app!
Great on phone, very inaccurate on watch
My iphone 11 pro is just as accurate as my real altimeter. My apple watch 4 is off by 200’. I really wanted this app for my watch and am disappointed. Haven’t found a reliable apple watch app for pure baro altimeter.
Amazing Does Not Require GPS!
A must-have for when the solar flare happens, all of the GPS satellites are out, and the world is hurled into a state of chaos and disorder—yours will be the only iPhone able to tell how high you are!
Great App
Awesome!
