Altimeter GPS & Barometer Reviews

by Long Walks On The Beach

Advertises as an altimeter, but ads block altimeter. Then hit 3 pop ups trying to navigate AltimeterGPSBarometer . Deleted due to fear of watching another final fantasy ad in the next 20s. Why does Apple even approve apps like this? I get that developers need to make money, but there really ought to be a ‘Crap App Store’ and a ‘Non-Crap App Store’ and AltimeterGPSBarometer Store reviewers can place your app in an appropriate spot so consumers don’t waste their time downloading crap unless they’re okay with getting a crummy product like this one.

AltimeterGPSBarometer has a beautiful interface but does not function at all. The GPS location is off. The altimeter (remember this is the title and supposed product) totally does not work. No matter where I am on the planet it is always sea level.

It is advertised as not needing an internet connection. Guess that is because it doesn't work whether or not one is connected to the Internet.

Too bad all the effort was spent on looking good instead of doing anything worthwhile.

I can't stand ads. Especially the ones that pop up and cover the whole screen every few minutes, then have a tiny little x to close it or won't close at all for several seconds.

This used to be ad free and a fairly decent app. Now I'm on a search for a replacement and deleting it. I'll pay before dealing with crappy ads.

I love AltimeterGPSBarometer, on my iPad. Not on the phone. It works perfectly on the pad, and its as easy as anything to view. On my phone, the altimeter is off by sometimes 200ft, the direction is never right, and the map is never correct. I can hold it side by side with my iPad and show identical GPS coordinates, but show totally different data. Speedometer works great, though!

AltimeterGPSBarometer works well. It is quick, accurate, and free. On the other hand, it is cluttered with ads and useless features like flashlight, weather, and camera. The persistent Google ad pops up covering the whole iPhone screen. Until you find the little X and kill it you cannot get any information from AltimeterGPSBarometer .

It has a max speed reading with an X that presumably would reset the reasons but dose not do anything. A current speed would be more useful in any case.

I have used AltimeterGPSBarometer for about a week. It is accurate in relation to my other devices both digital and mechanical. Use it in the backcountry this weekend and fairly consistently was able to get altitude and compass readings with no signal or 3G available. There was once I failed to connect but a storm had moved in an there was extremely heavy foliage and cloud coverage. I use this more for curiosity than anything though.

I just got AltimeterGPSBarometer today...I have an iPhone 6+ and in exploring AltimeterGPSBarometer my phone got really hot!
Also I am lacking the open street map button, in its place I have "info & how to use" button which I no longer need and had very little info anyway.
Other than that it looks to be a great app!!

I was using AltimeterGPSBarometer on a road trip throughout California and noticed that the lowest elevation is 1m above sea level. I went to Death Valley and it was very accurate until I reached sea level and below and AltimeterGPSBarometer just stopped at 1m. Otherwise, excellent app.

Was running AltimeterGPSBarometer in our car while my husband drove and it was great to see the changes in elevation over the route. I'm running AltimeterGPSBarometer on my iPhone 6 plus.

Problem with AltimeterGPSBarometer is that it continues to freeze up after it runs for about 5 minutes. I have to exit AltimeterGPSBarometer and restart it when that happens. No input is accepted whatsoever to try and unfreeze it. Other than that problem, it's pretty good.

Very useful compared to other apps that rely too much on cell service. I work around Yellowstone and need to know altitude often in no cell areas. I do wish they would allow default to feet rather than meters, but otherwise great.

The interface of AltimeterGPSBarometer is impressive and the altimeter And gps function as they should. However, the weather freezes up and crashes constantly. I really like it and wish they would fix this issue.

by Samantha Kaplan

Very accurate and simple to use. I am just looking at it and determining if I understand all of the functionality, but I like to think it will be useful as I travel around the US. Thanks.

Tried it out while traveling through west Texas hills. Great tool for hiking or if your just wondering how high above sea level you are. I don't understand why someone would give it a low rating if they don't know why or how to use it.

by Trailblazer02

I like all the features but do not like that altitude changes while being still. Also do not think the steps are correctly counted. Otherwise a great app.

I started using AltimeterGPSBarometer when I was hiking in Roosevelt Nat'l Forrest (Bierstadt lake area) - it was perfect then and is perfect now. I cannot believe AltimeterGPSBarometer does not get more love. We are lucky this is out there and anyone looking for GPS/Altimeter app will not find one better than AltimeterGPSBarometer.

One of the most practical and functional apps on AltimeterGPSBarometer Store today. Features it has are well thought out and are executed perfectly. It would be nice if it had more customizability such as making the speedometer larger.

Great App.
Was good to know the elevation while traveling through the mountains. It was accurate when we compared it with road elevation signs.
Weather app is easy to use. It gives the humidity level, which was useful while driving through the deserts.

Fun to have. The altimeter works via gps if you're near a window on an airliner. Also gives you coordinates but that shows on a map only if the map is preloaded (which means only for the first 40 miles after you lose cell service.)

by CarissaPsd

Interesting to play with and more how high up I am! I also enjoy how it tells you the address. I've often been house sitting, babysitting or at a party and couldn't quite recall the address for delivery. This is a great way to double check. Also useful for land level people like me to check if alcohol may hit me harder (eg if I'm at a higher it hits me harder)

Great integration of GPS, built-in sensors and weather info all on one screen. Great for knowing what's going on while flying. Major kudos to this developer for making a free app that's better in many ways than a lot of the paid apps out there.
