My Altitude uses GPS signals to determine your current location, showing your latitude, longitude and altitude (height from sea level) barometric pressure and water boiling point. It's a free app and does not have any limitations. In-App purchase can be used to remove the bottom advertisement and to support us. This application does not need an internet connection and works best in outdoors. By default, it uses device sensor to determine the elevation from see level, but you also have the option to use NOAA data files to get the altitude of your location. On newer devices, using device sensor is more accurate. It also allows you to get a picture of where you are and save it in photo album. Picture will be sealed with coordinates of current location along with altitude and local date/time. Barometric Pressure is calculated based on elevation. On newer devices such as iPhone 6/6+ val…
Every shipping app on the App Store has gone through the same decisions you're working through right now: which screenshot goes first, what caption sits over it, which device frame to show, what color the background should be. The 9 screenshots above are My Altitude's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.
What the numbers say: My Altitude runs a dark set where the background shifts from screenshot to screenshot (first shot #144C4C) — each image has to stand on its own, so the captions carry more of the story. The accent colour we picked up, #248C8C, is the one to reuse for badges, arrows and highlighted words if you borrow this look. Hit Use this style to open the editor with these exact colours and drop your own screenshot in.
