Your altitude on the trail and in the car: a native CarPlay view, Live Activity on iPhone and recorded tracks colored by elevation.
Check your current altitude and see how much you have climbed. Altimeter shows your altitude, daily peak and elevation gain on hikes, bike rides and mountain drives. Use it on iPhone and Apple Watch, or view your altitude in CarPlay.
ALTITUDE IN YOUR CAR
The native CarPlay app has its own view for altitude, climb or descent per minute, grade, direction, peak and gain. It is an altitude display, not a navigation app. Set it up before driving.
ALTITUDE WITHOUT SWITCHING APPS
Start a Live Activity on iPhone to see altitude, peak and gain on the Lock Screen. Compatible iPhones also show these values in the Dynamic Island. Live Activity and the native CarPlay app are separate features. Widgets and Watch complications show your latest available altitude data.
LOOK BACK AT YOUR ROUTE
Record a track and open it on the map later. The line is colored by elevation; the color scale shows lower and higher sections. Daily history shows your altitude profile, peak and ascent. Monthly and yearly views help you compare your altitude history.
FIT IT TO YOUR DAY
• Display altitude in meters or feet
• Check altitude on Apple Watch
• Use Siri or Shortcuts to start a Live Activity or ask for your altitude
• Optionally use existing Flights Climbed data from Apple Health in your analysis
BEFORE YOU START
Readings depend on GPS reception, sensors and location permissions. Background features require appropriate permissions. iOS and watchOS limit widget and complication refreshes; these are not continuously live displays. The app does not replace professional measurement equipment, navigation or safety equipment.
ACCESS
New users can try the app for two days. Continued access then requires a monthly subscription, annual subscription or one-time lifetime purchase. Existing purchases can be restored in the app.

Hands-down the best altimeter app out there. I tried so many and only this one allows to show real time altitude on the widget page. On the history page, if we click the green dot, it should direct us to the associated altitude and its data. That’s the only suggestion. Thank you!

Thank you for the great review and thoughtful feedback!
A complication capability

Just what I was looking for! I’m using this altitude app as a complication on my watch! Only one minor issue, the normal display before I push the complication is expressed in meters, in spite of the fact that I have selected feet. Not sure how to make it show in feet!
Developer Response
Thank you for the kind review and your feedback!
Watch Complications

Great app! But I do have a suggestion… instead of fancy graphs showing in the middle complication on the watch can we have ONE LARGE number that will represent the elevation??
Developer Response
First of all, thank you for your reviews and the great rating. This helps a lot!Thanks for the hint. I just checked the settings for units in the widget and fixed it.

I’ve tried several altimeter apps and widgets. This is the only one that works. Great app, great interface, great widget, and great support.

Thank you for the wonderful review and your support!

Clearer onboarding, location explanations and access options. Text and offer labels fit small screens and larger text sizes better. We also completed missing translations in the altitude and analysis views.
