Pros and cons of myAltitude - free altimeter for climbing & hiking app for iPhone and iPad

myAltitude - free altimeter for climbing & hiking app good for

Simple but does the job. Perfect for himing in the mountains!
Sometimes theres a lengthy delay while the phone acquires a lock but, it will display your altitude with reasonable accuracy for A-GPS. Does exactly what it says it does.
Work well and fine for me! Dont know if its better here in canada but really usefull
Works to the ability of the gps, if you get 0 or unknown it means you dont have a gps lock or are in an area with no reception
This app does exactly what it says. Having both feet and meters is a great addition.
Not much to this app but it does seem to work and it allows you to easily share with others.

Some bad moments

Deviation of more than 1000m in Altitude in Yunnan / China. Therefore totally useless
It doest work in Poland :-( it shows 0.00m all the time no matter inside or outside the buildings...
Shows 0.0m, even though I`m on 9`th floor and in a city above water level.
This application doesnt work at all; at see side or at the mountain is the same = 0
The makers of this app must have been drunk, it tells elevation and not altitude.
Im 9000+ ft higher than sea level, yet its saying Im at 0. No numbers show up. Isnt that the point of the app. Good idea. Now lets execute that.
