Ideal on mountain roads: start a Live Activity to keep altitude, peak, and gain visible while you drive.
Love the mountains? Whether you’re mountain biking, hiking, climbing, or driving mountain roads, this app lets you track your elevation and altitude gain at a glance.
Altimeter – Elevation Widget & Watch Complication gives you a precise altimeter for your Apple Watch and iPhone. With Live Activity, your current elevation, peak, and gain can also stay visible in CarPlay, whether you’re on the trail, heading to the trailhead, or driving through a mountain pass. Try Siri with: “Siri, start Live Activity in Altimeter.” You can also ask: “Siri, what is my current altitude in Altimeter?”
This app is designed for outdoor lovers and works as:
• A complication for Apple Watch (incl. Series 2, 3, 4+)
• A home screen widget for your iPhone
Features:
• Real-time altitude and elevation gain
• Complication for Apple Watch faces
• Live Activity on iPhone and in CarPlay (current altitude, peak, gain)
• Siri support: “Start Live Activity in Altimeter” and “What is my current altitude in Altimeter?”
• Graphical daily profile and gain timeline
• Heatmap + flowline for monthly and yearly analysis
• Background significant-location updates for efficient day profiles
• HealthKit Flights Climbed support for more robust gain calculation
• Switch between meters and feet

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!
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??

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.
Love the app

Does only what I want. Great update but everything is in German now :)
Developer Response
Thanks for the feedback. I missed to add the correct localization files. I will fix asap
• Fixed an issue where the iPhone widget could show 0 m/ft instead of the current altitude.
• The widget now shows a clear fallback when no recent location is available yet.
• Fixed onboarding on smaller iPhones so the Continue button remains reachable.
