Good app, needs work
App elevation if off by more than 100 feet. If I go up a mountain and back down it reports a elevation much higher than I started with. Doesn't truly support background app refresh. App constantly crashes or has to be reopened. Doesn't always track elevation and it would be able to use the up/down buttons on the Pebble to look at elevation gain, start/max elevation. Thanks, Mike

I like it
My experience has been that this app Elevation correlates with Garmin and paper topo maps Better than Gaia or Strava. My primary use is for tracking heart rate. The other data is a bonus providing, speed & distance. Really useful when planning a backcountry ski route. I still rely on Gaia for where we are on the map/route, but find that GaiaElevation stats very more widely.One request would be to provide the user with the ability to specify which fields are shown on the watch, you know drag the fields around in an order that focuses on my priorities. Still in all set up is very good!I must’ve looked at a dozen other apps, and this is what I’m using

Works Great
I walk city streets and hills and this works really well. Easy to read and it will also display my route. Pretty accurate too.
About Elevation Tracker
1,969 characters
Elevation Tracker is a fitness tracking app with a particular emphasis on climbing and descending. It tracks and displays the following info:
- Basic info like time, speed and distance - Current elevation and accumulated climbing and descending amount - Elevation profile and route map - Current heart rate and time spent in four training zones (if paired with an Apple Watch or chest strap)
When paired with an Apple Watch, Elevation Tracker really shines, displaying all this info (except the elevation profile and map) in an easy-to-read format. We haven't seen another fitness app that puts this much info onto your wrist for detailed tracking during your activities.
When you finish an activity, you can save it to your history, email route summaries and profile images, send GPX data to other applications, or download refinements from an online elevation database. You can even drag range selectors onto the profile to view the stats for just one section of your route.
Elevation Tracker uses GPS to determine elevation. GPS is not as accurate for elevation as it is for location, but over the course of an outdoor activity, the results are still quite useful. Elevation Tracker is not designed for indoor (stair climbing) or stationary (treadmill) use.
Elevation Tracker works in the background or with your device locked, and can run alongside other fitness apps you might be using. We routinely use this app for real-time display, another app for social sharing and a third for emergency tracking, all at the same time. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life, but newer smartphones have enough capacity to handle this for the duration of an activity.
