Thanks for your understanding review. I recognise the limitations of my widget with non-barometric devices. I decided it wasn't up to me to not make the app for those watches, it was up to the user to understand their watch and make an informed decision as to whether the app was for them or not.

And that's a really useless review. I describe the way it works and the weaknesses, so why did you bother to install it? Don't blame me, blame your watch.

Thank you for your review. If you need help it's better to use the Contact Developer link than a review. If you read the app description you will see I have already included a link to Garmin's instructions about how to calibrate the vivoactive 3.

Thanks for your kind review. Good to know it works with the Venu.

I'm sorry you can't get my app to work. It just shows what the watch gives it. If your device isn't calibrated you won't get good results. The problem is with the device not the app. If you use your watch properly the widget works well. If you think the issue really is the app why not ask for help before leaving a poor review?

I'm sorry you couldn't get my app to work on your watch. Why not contact me for assistance before leaving a poor review? In what way did it not work? If it really doesn't work I want to know more so I can fix it. The Forerunner 245 doesn't have a barometric altimeter. Did you make sure you had a good 3D GPS fix before using the widget? The app just reports what it gets from the watch.

Thanks for your review. My app simply shows your altitude, in a large font, as that was all I needed. If you want more information myABC would be a good choice.

Thanks for your review. I'm glad you understand how to use it! As you say, if the watch isn't calibrated the widget will show the wrong value.

As the description says, the widget simply reads and displays the watch's own sensor value. What you see is what the Garmin system provides. An uncalibrated watch gives poor results. I understand some watches are worse than others.

Thanks for your kind review. Fortunately, it seems, your watch - like my own - returns good altimeter sensor values.

Before leaving a poor review please contact me directly with any questions. As I said in the description the app uses the units set for the watch.

Thanks for your review. I guess the 735 only supports altitude from GPS and you didn't have 3D fix. Unfortunately, as I only have access to my own watch, I don't know the capabilities of all the other possible devices. A shame, I'm sorry it doesn't work for you.

Please contact me first if you have a problem. As the description says, the widget simply displays the altitude returned from the Garmin firmware. If your watch hasn't been calibrated, can't be calibrated or doesn't have access to altitude, unfortunately the results will be poor. The app has no way of knowing if the value it gets from the underlying hardware is good or bad.

I'm sorry the app doesn't work with your watch. It just displays what the Garmin system gives it. If there's no data available it should display 0000 and a message in the top label. Unfortunately, as I only have a Vivoactive HR that is the only real device I can test.

Je suis désolé que mon app ne marche pas sur votre montre. Je ne peux tester qu'avec mon VAHR. "Contact Developer" avec votre e-mail, pour plus d'aide.

You could try starting an activity, letting it run for a short while and then seeing if the altitude & floors climbed show sensible results. If you use the Contact Developer link and include your email address I'll see if there's anything more I can do.

Thanks for your review and rating. I'm very happy to hear it works well on your watch.

I'm really sorry you have issues with my widget. It certainly isn't intended to be permanently connected to GPS. It simply reads the altitude once and displays it. After a short period, as it's a widget, it should time out anyway. It's been installed on my Vivoactive HR for several weeks with no problems but that has a barometric altimeter. Please contact me directly through the Contact Developer link and I'll see if there's anything I can do to help.

Well the trouble is, if I added anything it wouldn't be Simply Altitude any more! So, instead of adding, I've made a separate "Simply Daylight" widget (https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/da49e757-95ad-4151-bcf1-498a857a50e6). It shows sunrise & sunset in large font, just like you suggested. I hope it works for you.
