I bought the paid version of the app to have the widget for a quick home screen view of the alit/barometer readings. The only thing the widget displays is altitude. If it would display both on the widget, I would gladly give 5 stars. But for what I bought it for, it's not it, and wasn't communicated in any description I read.

This app has a nice, clean interface and is really good about displaying the information you want. Be aware that the vast majority of cell phones do not have a pressure sensor, so barometric pressure as a basis for your altitude is not available to you. Not even sure why they included that. It's also a bit of a power hog, and if the widget is left running you may see your cell phone's battery dropping steadily to exhaustion in a fairly short time. Edited

I love this app and have used it for a few years but there is a recent update I don't like. The app uses the system API to set an alarm out in the future based on the update interval for the widget and does it perpetually. This causes an alarm notification to constantly be in the notification area at the top of Android which is annoying (even if you don't have an alarm set). How do I know it's this app? I had to go each app on my phone uninstalling 1 by 1 until the alarm notification went away. Edited

Please reduce the number of taps necessary to launch Floating Alt (per my original ask in Mar'23; now July'24!). The best would be to launch it by tapping on a widget (1 tap). The 2nd best would be to add a designated button on the app to launch it (2 taps). Currently too deep hidden under app's 3 dots (3 taps) while driving. I got this app only for its brilliant Floating Altimeter (Pro/$paid version), which is quite useful for when driving thru the mountains while running Maps/Waze. Edited

The QNH calibration doesn't work. The app reported "Airfield data not available at this time." Please help!! Update: The QNH calibration is working right now. Thank you for the latest update. Anyway, since the barometer reading on each devices are not so accurated and different, therefore, an additional barometer adjusting for each devices would be nice. Edited
