New: The native CarPlay dashboard shows altitude, climb/descent per minute, grade, direction, peak and gain. Live Activity remains separate on iPhone.
Track your current altitude and elevation gain at a glance, whether you’re hiking, climbing, mountain biking, or driving mountain roads.
Altimeter – Elevation Widget & Watch Complication gives you a precise altimeter for your Apple Watch and iPhone. Keep your current altitude visible on your watch face, home screen, and iPhone Live Activity. The native CarPlay dashboard is a separate view designed for the drive, with current altitude, climb or descent per minute, grade, direction, peak, and gain. Try Siri with: “Siri, start Live Activity in Altimeter.” You can also ask: “Siri, what is my current altitude in Altimeter?”

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!
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!

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.

• New native CarPlay dashboard with altitude, climb/descent per minute, grade, direction, peak, and gain.
• Live Activity remains available separately on iPhone.
• Improved location lifecycle, stability, and reliability.
