Terrain Radar Altimeter 1 app good for
Handy when travelling or for the curious who want to know how high that hill is...
Recently used this on a hike. It was great for visualizing how much further to the peak elevation, as well as the nice decent wed enjoy after we topped it.
Simple and easy to use. This is one of the few apps Im impressed with.
No way to contact developer.
Dont use Facebook but recommend to two friends- would like to get the extended range.
Its good for what it is for but for the price it needs more in it (I got it free, dont know if I would buy it)
I fly a quadcopter and this apps great. I know how high I can fly and how far higher terrain is. I recommend this app !
Some bad moments
- while a nice concept the program has a few flaws.
- it does not point in the direction you are heading but is skewed by 45 degrees. The phone has to be rotated for the app to point correctly. And no, its not the phone as the compass app works.
- the radar graphic is cute but gets old fast. Have a setting to turn it off.
Its basically a worse version of Google Earth, with features you dont need. It shows an ariel view with the altitude in feet, and has a pointless green chart of the feet, yet again, on the top part of the screen. Moving the phone makes the screen move, but its a frustrating experience that needs a lot of tweaking. This app feels like a bad drone/Google Earth similar. Could be much, much better.
The apps description is much more than what is delivered. As bought, the app has only a limited horizontal range which will be extended if you write a review. Selling cripple-ware and blackmailing customers for a review may be appropriate for a free app, but strikes me strong-handed in a paid app. Just my thoughts.
need to be able to lock in a bearing so you can look at altitudes even if you arent facing the same way
Version 1.1
This version improved the maps, gui, and overall precision. Im really glad to see the advancements with this app. I would still like to see a gyro-lock, but Im really liking the improvements.
Version 1.0
I like the idea behind this application; it has lots of potential. Things I would probably include in a future version: more precision, elevation lost or gained, distances from point A to B, gyro-lock, and gui graphics/topography could be improved. Its obviously the first version and in the early stages, but cool nonetheless.
Cool interface. Could be better w improved autoscaling on graph y-axis.
