Skydive Snitch is your ultimate jump tracker! With a clean user interface, it supports skydive and wingsuit mode, and provides valuable information about your jumps, such as:

· Jump Count
· Elapsed Time
· Freefall Time
· Canopy Time
· Max Altitude
· Exit Altitude
· Opening Altitude
· Ground Altitude
· Max Vertical Speed
· Max Horizontal Speed
· Max G-Force
· Total Distance
· Total Energy Burned
· Average Heart Rate
· Max Heart Rate
· Jump Map
· Activity Rings Summary

On the dropzone, specially with your suit on, you don’t necessarily have access to your phone at all time. This is why this tracker was designed as an Apple Watch standalone application, allowing you to record and see your jump history using only your watch.

Simply start recording before boarding, and stop after landing. You also have the possibility to define a dropzone location and altitude in the settings, for instance when doing an in-jump, or if the landing area is not the same as your starting point. Scroll down in the jump view or use the Digital Crown to pause, resume, or finish the jump recording.

On Apple Watch Ultra, you can specify the action triggered when pressing the Action button to open, or directly starting a jump record. To pause and resume the activity at any time, press the side button and the Action button at the same time.

The jump is also saved as a workout in the Fitness app, and update your health goals and Activity Rings accordingly. You can also see more information there like your heart rate graph. All related health and fitness data are integrated within the Health app.

It requires the barometric sensor to track and compute the absolute altitude. This is why it is only available starting from the Apple Watch Series 6 and SE. If the accuracy is not sufficient, a tilde ~ is added before altitude and speed. In that case, the sensor gives inaccurate measurements and it might take some time between altitude updates. Currently supported models are:

· Apple Watch Ultra 2
· Apple Watch Series 9
· Apple Watch Ultra
· Apple Watch Series 8
· Apple Watch SE 2nd Gen
· Apple Watch Series 7
· Apple Watch Series 6
· Apple Watch SE 1st Gen

Permissions are required for:

· HealthKit: write workouts, access watch sensors, read active energy, activity, hearth rate
· Motion & Fitness: altimeter, g-force sensor, barometric pressure
· Location: GPS location, heading

Skydive Snitch should only be used by skydivers with an appropriate license, and is not a replacement for an altimeter, jumping experience, or common sense. Skydivers should check local regulations or speak to an instructor before use.

By default, only the last 7 jump records are available. The Skydive Snitch Pro subscription unlocks your complete jump history, and all new features as they become available. It also helps to support this project, maintenance costs, and future developments.

Keep calm and remember that this is still just an Apple Watch with basic sensors ;-) Not a fully-featured certified altimeter. In order to deliver the best possible user experience, feedbacks and improvement ideas are more than welcome.
