Current Elevation App Reviews

Incredible app. Does exactly what it says. Unsure as to why some people hate it.....

Standing in my front yard and the phone is about four feet off the ground. MAP is pretty constant around 105. But GPS varies from 75 to 125. Wide open sky so GPS should have a signal. Each time I open it the GPS is different. The two should be about the same.

Map elevation appears relatively accurate, but the Atlantic Ocean in central FL is 132 above "sea level" by GPS measurement???

Recently in Colorado and App output remained consistent with area postings from 5k to 9600. When hiking over 11,000 the elevation values for gps and map moved towards a single value typically after 20-30 sec. The values seemed to change appropriate with our continued climbing. Great App.

I got this app for the "map" elevation to calibrate my Garmins altimeter starting elevation. Gps in general is great for your coordinates; not so great for elevation. Unless youre in a skyscraper or a plane the gps value in this app is of limited usefulness. This is true of any non-pressure based gps measurement. It is unfair to criticize this app for that shortcoming of gps.

Fast, accurate and clean ui.

I used this while driving through the Rockies. Quick and easy reference tool!

I see a lot of concerns about GPS elevation. Its not the app. GPS is very accurate laterally (X & Y) but very weak vertically (Z). If it was possible to receive a GPS signal from "below" then it would be great vertically too, but not possible. It takes at least three dispersed location sats "circling" your point to get an accurate reading (basic triangulation). Easy for lateral measurement, impossible for vertical. Im amazed it does as good as you say.

Does exactly what it says. Took it hiking and it is extremely accurate.

Wont provide elevation information when panning in the map. Ad is quite intrusive.

After a few minutes it could not figure out my location so I deleted it.

I had this app for months. It never found my location.

Its about 20 feet to high. But its prolly close enough for whatever you need it for.

This app will give you altitude for current location only. No way to get altitude for another location.

15 foot variance in same location Did not change when I went 70 feet down into hole

After trying several apps I found this to be the best. The map validates your location. It is sensitive and the measurement is in constant motion if you are, but never a variance that is critical. Great for a free app and tested accurate in my mountainous trip west.

After a few minutes of spinning wheels i gave up and deleted it. Ads work, though!

What an amazing app. Probably the best one out there. iPhone 5S. Only $0.99 to remove the ads.

Clean interface, accurate elevation info :)

So far so good. It just gave me an accurate elevation reading. Very simple and easy to use. No idea if it will work off the beaten path, but I believe it uses map data, so as long as it can locate your position, it should work.
