APP DESCRIPTION
Height Finder calculates your current altitude and elevation both indoors and outdoors, and even in areas with no network coverage.
The data is updated in real time as the device moves, and an on-screen arrow indicates the increase or decrease in altitude.
Tapping the on-screen reading will toggle between feet and meter display modes.
For best results outdoors and in areas with no network coverage, launch the app and allow the device a couple of minutes to obtain a strong GPS signal.

Please note that although every effort has been made to minimise power consumption, using this feature can dramatically decrease battery life.
Latest reviews of Height Finder app for iPhone and iPad
This thing is useless! Constantly jumping hundreds of feet up and down.
Good app, but I wish it was a bit more consistent in its readings.
For a free application, this pretty good even though the readings "wobble" a bit on occasion. If you need accuracy in actual feet (within ten feet) you should spend some cash for it.
This app does exactly what it says it would do.
Works perfectly well where ever I go.
