Description
iOS/GPS altitude
Altitude estimated by the device's location service. It works reasonably well in most situations but can't track small changes and can be unreliable indoor.
Barometric altitude (iPhone 6 minimum)
Altitude based on the device's barometer. This is how most hardware altimeters work. It can track very small relative variations but must be calibrated with weather data or GPS. Calibration with weather data grabs current sea-level pressure and temperature at your location from a nearby weather station. GPS calibration takes the current iOS/GPS altitude as a starting point then uses the barometer to track changes.
Elevation database
This method displays earth surface elevation at your location by polling an elevation database. It works even with very imprecise location data but requires network access. Surface elevation usually includes buildings and trees.

Ratings and Reviews
Doesn’t work
Received one accurate signal. Then fails to work at all, simply showing previous location info. Tried everything. Wasted £1.
Developer Response ,
Version 3.0 includes many improvements. Check it out.
Where is the feet?
Can we have the option of feet as well as metres please?
Developer Response ,
The app has always used your global regional settings. But version 3.0 lets you bypass these settings and switch to feet manually. I hope you will enjoy this change. Regards.
Altimeter
Nice and neat but accuracy only as good as the GPS on the phone, as you'd expect.
Display is clear but I would like an option to display the digital readout as LARGE as possible for those posey photos on top of a mountain!
