Ratings & Reviews

Version 1.1
• Auto-detect hikes: forgot to press Start? LiveHeight can notice you are hiking and start recording for you. Off by default, motion-gated so car and train rides never trigger it, with a notification you can keep or dismiss.
• A beautiful new 3D Route view: your hike as a smooth elevation-colored ribbon with peak, low point, steepest climb and your own markers called out. Rotate your phone for a fullscreen panorama.
• Smoother storm watch and permission handling, plus many small fixes.
