Works on Watch is 4.5

Thanks for updating. Works great on my mighty Apple Watch 4. Used this app hiking up the Sierra Nevadas but had to keep getting the iPhone out to check altitude, now the Watch version will make life easier. 😃😃😃

We have added Watchkit 4,5 Support. Please Upgrade :-)

Great on the iPhone X but no so much on the Apple Watch 3

I purchase the app as I wanted it to work independently on my Apple Watch 3 LTE. However looking at altitude on the watch often shows a false reading which is only fixed once I calibrate the iPhone X barometer via GPS reference. There doesn’t seem to be a way to calibrate the Apple Watch barometer through forced touch, so I’m left thinking it’s just an extension of the iPhone rather than acting independently?

Very Good

I found this to be very accurate having compared it to Ordnance Survey maps spot heights measured in situ.
