Sensitive Altimeter
Barometric sensors in many devices are not calibrated. In this case, sensor reading correction must be configured in the app settings.
Sensitive Altimeter is absolutely free, it will not display ads or collect personal data. Internet connection is used only for station database update and downloading weather observation data.
For more information, see the project page.

Was awesome, but it has been abandoned and no longer works on modern versions of android.
great app , works well will this work with thr new watch 4
The most accurate application I used so far
For people who have issues fetching the weather data, change http: to https: in the Weather Data Source menu.
was great until recently when the data updates from my local airport NZAA ceased working. Just get 4 dings, suppose that is an error code?
But I would like the altitude in m.
Perfect. I like that I can use digital and analog. Easy calibration to zero for height check.
Please make it more clear what each box is showing and how the offset works. Please allow locking the offset.
This app is definitely I would recommend it, the developer did an awesome job!
This is perfect altimetar
Should have a donate button
Once I had tweaked the calibration, the altimeter responded and followed exactly the one in my aircraft. Many thanks Ivan. You should have a donate button.
Great update!. Nice to see digital readout on the same screen as the analogue readout. One great addition (please) would be a button on the screen to reset the altitude to zero so that we can use this app to calculate relative height. That would be great.
I've used this app since I had the Nexus 4, then the Nexus 5, and now I'm still using it on my LG G4. I love it, it's the best app out there for barometric altitude readings. Download the variometer from this developer as well, it's a great complement to this app.
The app looked great at first, but once I adjusted it manually there was no way to get it back to reading automatic. Also, I could not figure out how to change it to a digital readout like the screen shots indicate is possible. Potential is there! *edit I discovered you also need to download the weather station app to obtain proper readings. That corrected it! Still not sure what barometric pressure readings have to do with altimeter readings but doesn't mean it can't work!
Great app. Simple as advertised. Auto station correct wasn't working. Saw a note on initial install of how to address this NOAA station issues but could not get back to find that patch/fix. Anyway I will figure it out and it is a great app
I have no practical use for this, but that doesn't stop me from using it all the time, easy lay out and simple to use.
This works well on my Samsung GS3, I use this for aviation as well as outdoor recreation. It would be nice to know the density altitude as well, but the app is already great as is.
Says it can't find weather data. I tried to set it to kmci but wouldn't get data. Worthless, uninstalling
Why would you bother with something that is not as accurate as GPS
Great app! Love the fact that you can calibrate the sensor. Very accurate! Samsung galaxy s3
Very impressed with this free app. Put a Paypal donate button on your developer page.
I tried out about 7-8 similar apps, this was the best by far.
I use this way more often than any normal person should.
Most accurate app I've found so far
Just what I was looking for
Good app.... very accurate in my note 2
Was getting the four ding error when i tried to auto update the nearest airport baro reference pressure. Had to manually fetch the baro pressure from the airport METAR database, until i saw review from "A Google User". Their advice to change "Weather Data Source" address in settings from http: to https: was exactly what was needed to correct the problem. Dev: if you're still out there, this should be corrected in an update to the app.
