This app gives inaccurate elevations constantly. I hiked up a roughly 300ft hill and the app said I was at a lower elevation than what I had started at! It lists my neighborhood as a good 500ft higher than what a good topo map says it is. When I walk up nearby hills it again reads that I'm lower than where I started. It keeps asking me to upgrade to pro when it doesn't do what it's designed to, on even a basic level

I liked everything about this app, and bought the pro version. Today I went on a bike ride with a 900 meter peak and a 990 meter one, the app reported them as 400 and 470. If an altimeter is off by 100% then it is a failure however good the UI might be. (I checked the altitude with both google and open maps to confirm my opinion that they were a lot more than 500)

"Great idea, confusing implementation" sums up my experience. The tiny "record hike" buttons are tucked away in a corner. In one display the altitude gained/lost matches the displayed max/min. In another place, a 300 ft gain was displayed as 11,000+ ft! Trying to display two separate walks in one day failed. The only route shown was the last, ½ mile, walk. The 1.5 - 2.0 mile walk couldn't be displayed. The free app has ads, the $1.99 Pro app doesn't. Overall, the app is disappointing.
