Accurate Altimeter PRO

AR Labs

About this app

The most downloaded Altimeter for Android that does not need internet to work!

- Altitude estimation with three different methods to be always sure to get a reliable measure, even without internet connection.
- Historical charts to see your excursions elevation gain.
- Maps with peaks' name and contour lines. Pick elevation from any point on the map.
- Pictures with impressed place name and altitude.

Altitude can be estimated:
- With satellites triangulation. Slow and less accurate but it works even with no internet connection.
- Taking the ground elevation at your current position from a global elevation map.
- Using the pressure sensor of your device (if available). It calibrates itself on pressure from the nearest weather station to improve accuracy.

As additional PRO features you can also:
- compensate systematic error of pressure sensor
- download a larger area of the global elevation map
- record altitude without opening the App
- pick elevation on the map with no limitation
- have no advertising

Ratings and reviews

This is a great app. The only thing that would make it better is an option to input a known elevation value. GNSS derived values are generally inaccurate (not the app's fault) and the map derived elevation values used in the app are not particularly accurate either (not necessarily the app's fault). However, the altimeter setting can be calibrated/adjusted from the reference barometric pressure (nearest airport). It's just an extra step that could be eliminated.

This is the only altimeter app I could find with a history graph! Love the logging options and CSV export. That said, as other have reviewed, the analog dial is impossible to read the red inner even when not driving. Please provide the option to swap the woodgrain for an aircraft style and to remove the dial gauge and jumbo size the text. Lastly, a 'keep screen on' option would make the app perfect. (I'm an aircraft lover, and they are designed to be easy to read!)

I truly love this app for its clean interface and usefulness. However, I do have a few suggestions: 1) Include MSL-adjusted pressure (if possible) so that it is possible to see when a low pressure system is coming. Or, add a calculator that calculates average pressure at altitude based on average MSL pressure (1013.25 mb). 2) Add a dark theme - it makes it a lot more comfortable on the eyes and is very popular. 3) Allow lots more sections(even the entire world)to be downloaded for offline map
