Altimeter Tracker vs Pilot's Altimeter Usage & Stats

AltiTracker runs automatically in the background and keeps track of altitude changes in real time. The app's interactive graphs let you see and explore altitude changes and trends over time.. AltiTracker lets you select either sea-level operation or a relative altitude mode that tracks your altitude relative to a selected reference altitude (for example, your altitude relative to your base camp). Optional CSV export/import capabilities let you save your altitude data at high-resolution (5-second intervals), and you can explore previously saved CSV altitude data directly in the app. Optional Watch capabilities include the ability to run the app stand-alone on your Watch and to see live altitude updates on the app's complications whether you're running the app on your iPhone or on your Watch. Real-time Watch complications can show altitude, relative altitude, vertical speed, and reference pressure. The Watch app also let you easily adjust settings such as reference pressure or relative altitude. Running stats let you know your total climb and descent info as well as min/max altitude. You can directly set either your sea level altitude or pressure, or use the GPS feature to obtain a reference altitude automatically. An adjustable auto-off feature helps ensure that you maximize battery life by automatically turning off operation after the desired period. And the optional BaroTrak feature helps minimize the classic problem of weather-based altimeter "drift" between active climbs. The app supports both meters and feet for altitude, and selectable units for pressure. In short, we set out to build the most capable pressure-based altimieter out there and we hope you give it a try!

Pilot's Altimeter

Introducing Pilot's Altimeter: The best app for aviators seeking an altimeter that works just like in a real aircraft; harnessing the power of your Apple Watch's barometer and classic dial display to give you an authentic experience. Whether you are a novice pilot or a seasoned pro, make Pilot's Altimeter your go-to training tool or wrist companion. Student pilots can gain a deeper understanding of traditional pressure altimeters before taking flight. To Use: Set the current pressure setting at your location in the Kollsman Window using the digital crown. This can be found by looking up the METAR at your closest airport or if you know your current elevation you can set that altitude on the dial. As a last resort you can get your GPS altitude from your phone or watch and set this on the dial. Once the altimeter is set to the local pressure, the dial will update to display your current altitude as it changes. Changes in weather throughout the day or traveling a large distance will change the local pressure so be sure to update the setting frequently to get the most accurate results. Updates to the barometer data can be delayed in certain conditions. Pilot's Altimeter has implemented an escalating warning system to notify you of stale barometer readings: - Yellow BARO Warning: The barometer data is older than 5 seconds. - Orange BARO Warning: The barometer data is older than 15 seconds. - Red BARO Warning: The barometer data is older than 30 seconds. - Red Flashing BARO Warning: The barometer data is older than 60 seconds. - Anytime the barometer data is more than 15 seconds, the seconds will be shown in the upper right. Accuracy Disclaimer: The barometers in your Apple Watch are highly accurate but are not calibrated to the standards of the altimeters found in real aircraft. Additionally, due to how the Apple Watch provides this data to applications there can be a delay between readings. Lastly, being an electronic device with very small sensors there are more failure modes than analog altimeters. Pilot's Altimeter makes every effort to make it clear to the user how reliable the data being displayed is, however it is no substitute for real instruments and should not be used as a primary or even secondary flight device.
