About Altimeter Pro
Altimeter Pro is an advanced barometer altimeter.
It is usefull for outdoors activities like hiking, mountaineering, ski tour, mountain bike or air sports like aviation or paragliding.
The application is designed to work off-line in backcountry or remote places.
Most functionalities require a pressure sensor (barometer sensor) but the application can be used in GPS mode which can be usefull in some cases or as a backup solution.
Here are the main functionalities :
* Analog panel featuring a real aviation altimeter,
* Digital panel with many information,
* Current Altitude,
* Vertical Speed (ascending or descending rate) (*),
* Altitude Gain,
* Altitude Loss,
* Minimum and Maximum Altitude,
* QFE and QNH pressure (*),
* Live Altitude Profil,
* Track history management : Save / View / Export,
* Different calibration option : by altitude reference, by pressure, by Internet (+9.000 referenced weather stations) (*),
* 2 altitude providers : pressure sensor(*) or GPS chip (not network GPS),
* Advanced GPS with geoid adjust,
* Sensor offset adjustement (*),
* ISO Standard Temperature settings (*),
* Different units (hPa, inHg, Meter, Feet, Km, Nm, Mi, °C, °F...),
* HD Graphics,
* User interface in severals langages : English, Spanish, French, Italian, German.
* Acoustic vario : you can set climb and sink thresholds (*),
* Automatic altitude vocalization,
* Speach synthesis of altitude on touch,
* Widgets,
...
Once Altimeter Pro is started, forget-it ! The application do all the job for you.
Its intelligent design allows to have a minimal energy footprint on your device. You can then focus on your activity without to worry.
At the end of your activity, you can save your track.
Later you can view it or export it.

Barometer not working, despite having said it's compatible.

In general, a neat app. Great promise. To get the last star from me, will need a change + fix: When calibrating from the internet, if the selected airport fails for any reason to provide data, the app should AUTOMATICALLY select the nearest one that actually IS providing data. This should be totally hands off if location services are providing even a course position. It would be helpful if a display on the left side (like the calibration window on the right) showed the airport code from which the calibration was taken, in white if closest, and in yellow or orange if a closer airport could not provide a value. Extra credit: Click on the indicator (above-described left calibration indicator) to get a Google Map showing the current device location, the airport providing the calibration (blue or green marker device) and any closer one(s) that could not provide data (orange / red device).

This is just what I needed. I use this for PPG and love the voice announcements. I have it set to tell me the altitude every 200 feet. I no longer need to look at my phone.

Nice, but how does one turn it "off"? The only way I've found so far is to force stop the app (there's no "exit" button! ?????)

Simple, accurate, easy to calibrate. I like the fact that it does not use gps. When calibrated from an accurate barometer it reads right on. I really like the analog widget. Awesome app!

It used 178mb of memory in 7 minutes to much for for most phones.

An accurate app. Tried this on many occasions at known altitude areas. Pretty accurate....when compensation added.

When i compare it with garmin gps, it has not much difference. You must have it in your smartphone.

Runs perfect with precision, but even finishing the app it remains in the notification bar and heat the phone until kill the battery. The only solution it to force to stop in the app management. Please, solve this and will have the 5 stars. Sony Z5 EDITED! Now it runs perfect and it closes. I did your explanation before which were not working. Thanks a lot for your fast reply!

I measured at cabane tracuit (3256m) but it was reporting as around 3100m. Also, it was reporting around 100m lower at bishorn. However, it works well on grounds lower than 1000m. Perhaps it does not work well in high altitudes? I was using barometer as sensor.

If you guys could get the altimeter to auto-calibrate based off of the nearest METAR (internationally standard) that would make this app AWESOME!!!

It a good app. Can you change acoustic sounds? It look very unfamiliar to me. It should be sth like bip bip bip

Perfect calibration methods. Anyways, two small feature suggestions: option to display climb rate also in meters per hour, which is nice for sports, now available, thank you!. And optionally graph pressure in long intervals, which would make it a stationary weather station.

Great app. Good looking and easy to read in flight (still use mechanical alt but a great comparison). What would be great is an audio feedback (beeping rate) from the vario climb rate. Works a teat with the barro sensor in my Galaxy 5. Well done

Great design and look. Accurate and easy to calibrate. Works entirely independently from the Internet, so useful in back country. Works with both pressure (if sensor fitted to device) and GPS. Works great on Samsung Galaxy S5.

This is a good app but I would like to see an altitude alert (with all the requisite disclaimers of course). That would put it over the top.

Android 4.4 Samsung note 4 edge. Desert home is at 40 ft elevation, software shows 38 ft. Good graphics. Gotta test while hiking yet; will update this evaluation at completion.

Why not calibrate using GPS location to get altitude from map, then run baro?
