Comments on Compass Altimeter: Sun & Moon for Android
★★★★☆Allison Wilburn· Jun 22, 2026
Only critique is the widget altimeter does not change units when the settings change. Seems stuck in meters. But beyond that it seems amazing straight forward and easy to use
★★★★★Codi Serville· Aug 14, 2026
Seems to be a premium product! A wide set of meters and gauges, and it states it's not: collecting data, selling information, or advertising. A complete product right out of the box?! Truly then five stars, if so
★★★★★Extreme North (extremenorthuk)· Feb 25, 2026
Thank you! Finally a simple compass and altimeter that doesn't sell my data
★★☆☆☆Scott S.· May 10, 2026
Portrait mode only, can't read in landscape.
★☆☆☆☆Frank Kremer· Apr 26, 2026
At sea level it said 53 m, compass was way off, 90 degrees plus
