Aircraft Altimeter App Reviews

I never deleted this app as I had been hoping for a compatible iOS update. Thanks for finally releasing one. Nicely done. Cheers!

1) Help has misspelled words - shows lack to pay attention to detail. 2) The Adjustment covers up the 3) what should be is a working Kohlmanns window. 3) Cannot fine tune the adjustment easily. 4) Since attempting to emulate an aircraft's altimeter, should have a "knots" unit for Speed (groundspeed since GPS derived). Without a working Kohlmann's window, the app is virtually useless as a trainer/emualtor.

Made the mistake of putting this on iPad Air2. It has a horrible fuzzy, crude display. Nothing like the APP picture.

Great app for us aviators.

I love this app. It's as good as your iPhone's gps. Doesn't need cellular or wifi connection to work. It just won't work in airplane mode. I also have the Aircraft Speed and Aircraft Heading apps. They all work fine in the car. But this altimeter works well when whether moving or stationary. 5 stars.

Couple of days ago I was standing on the Ocean Beach Pier in San Diego. I pulled out the iPhone and tapped on Altimeter just for fun. There I was, about 25 feet above the ocean water and Altimeter was saying that my altitude was over 700 feet! I waited, and then Altimeter asked if it could use my current location. Well, Duh! Why would I want the altitude at some other location? So I tapped OK. It then recalculated and told me I was at 274 feet altitude. OK, closer, but still 250 feet off my actual altitude. So what is going on here? I waited a few more minutes, but Altimeter still insisted that I was 250 above my own head! But I did not feel like I was flying.

Great idea - need an update.

Having the altitude on the icon is awesome! Thanks. The default settings of click while in background and run in the background are a little annoying. Good thing both can be turned off in the settings. Also, to stop the app from running in the background, you need to read the help. Hopefully a future update will make this clearer. Looks and works much like the real thing. Good for training. I have my IPhone in a dock in my car and like to see my altitude. At times the readings can be a ways off, but that is not the fault of this program. The iPhone GPS chip is kind of lame. In one rare case it was 3 thousand feet off, but after restarting the phone, it was good, and has been reasonably accurate ever since.

The only way I could stop the clicking and stop it running in the background was to UNINSTALL the app. I loved it before, now they ruined it! Bye Bye Aircraft Altimeter...

Installed and upon start would never find a GPS signal. I am a pilot and was looking forward to the application. Finally uninstalled.

Yes, it's true. The app fully discloses all of it's inadeqacies in the description so I don't feel cheated that I bought it. It still doesn't change the fact though that it's a waste of a dollar. The whole point of a measuring device is to provide accuaracy, right?! This is inaccurate so frequently, what's the point? Cool idea but the technology isn't there. Save your money

Interesting "Boooo" review. BCREZ knocks an app that fully discloses all of it's inadequacies in the description, something that can be viewed prior to hitting the <buy> button. I totally agree that BCREZ is- "dumber for buying it." BTW- Cool App! :)

Looks like the real one and works great.

Works great. Reasonably accurate. Looks like the real thing. Thanks for the good updates.

Agreed with altitude signs

Looks nice, works nice

Great in the car. Large and easy to read. Nice update too by the way.

A great little gadget, giving pretty accurate readings. No problems or disappointments.
