Ratings and reviews

I really like the floating widget when using Google maps. But it doesn't always work. If I reboot my phone it works fine when I launch Google maps. But then later when I go to use Google maps again and the altimeter widget appears, it just shows zero for altitude. I have to reboot the phone to get it to work again. Not good for a paid app.

Takes forever to get the altitude and then it works for less than a minute. Installed another altimeter app which shows the altitude accurately all the time, so the problem is not with the phone. Waste of money! Edit: The old Navmeter app does the same, FOR FREE.

Shuts down periodically, and requires uninstall/reinstall. Edit: it still shuts down, and no response from developer. Edit: Seems to be fine after the update about a week ago. I still like this app because it is unobtrusive when using Google Maps.
