Altitude Readings Using Litchi

I've flown my very first Litchi missions over the last 2 days. They worked great!
My question is about the accuracy of the altitude reading. During the mission, everything looked fine. The speech reports said the altitude was well within my settings.
When the mission ended - at 20 feet altitude - the Mavic just seemed to be lower than 20 feet. Then I lowered the Mavic to be at my eye level (I am 6-ft tall) and the app said the altitude was 15+ ft. Um, no, it wasn't!!
My concern is that if the altitude reading is wrong at the end of the mission, it is probably also wrong during the mission - which is very dangerous.

Anyone have a similar experience?

I then landed the AC, closed Litchi, and opened DJI Go 4. The altitude readings were better, but still not accurate.

Thanks.
 
Yeah, it's way off sometimes in any direction. The key may be to use more waypoints, but I haven't tested it. A bit scary. Happy flying.
