This app uses the barometric pressure sensor found in the iPhone 6, 6s, 7 (including Plus models) and iPad Air 2, Mini 4 as well as iPad Pro (both sizes).
You need one of these devices in order to use this app!
It is not compatible with iPhone SE and older iPhone and iPad devices without this sensor!

This App features a Barometer for weather, an Altimeter for outdoor activities, a barometric Trend and a Notification Center Widget.

Even without the optional In-App-Purchase this is a fully functional Barometer with absolutely no draw-backs and all important features accessible. Always without ads! (See "Pro Features" at the end)

Keep an eye on the barometric pressure and be your own weather forecast! This little app uses only GPS (optional) and the new barometric pressure sensor to calculate the barometric pressure used in weather forecasts. The new iPhones have a barometric pressure sensor built in so this app works completely without internet. The handy marker helps you keep track of changes in the barometric pressure and let's you predict weather changes! Please realize, that a single barometric pressure reading is not enough to tell the current weather situation but the barometric pressure and its change over time is a very good indicator for weather changes!

Now you can also see the trend in barometric pressure with graph charts displaying the measurements taken during the last 30 days! (6h, 12h, 24h, 3d, 7d, 14d, 30d)

The Altimeter helps you track your altitude changes based on the change of pressure. Just set your reference pressure and altitude in order to use the Altimeter for checking how high up the mountain you have climbed (works for other activities too). The App does not use GPS for the Altimeter.

Please Note that on older devices such as the 4S, 5, 5S and 5C as well as on any iPod Touch and iPad Models older than iPad Air 2 or iPad Mini 4 this app will not be able to read barometric pressure values and not display any useful information.

All basic features, the Barometer, the Altimeter, the Trend and the Widget are completely free to use for everyone and are fully functional at maximum accuracy available. No ads!
The only features with restricted access via In-App-Purchase are listed at the end under "Pro Features". Those are nice to have features for power users or those that want to show their support for the App!

Great barometer app & excellent support!

I downloaded this a week ago, and immediately bought the pro features. There’s one little kink in the pro settings where I’m unable to unlock the dynamic Y-axis on the graph. I emailed the developer, and he replied immediately. He thinks it is a bug with iOS, and said he would try to fix it in the next update. That’s what I call service!

This is one of my faves. I have been using it for years as a confirmation of my physical/mental condition. I am late 70s (age) but still very active in golf, tennis, pickelball etc. On the days that I am not at my best (fatigue, focus etc.) I check this Barometer app and it INVARIABLY shows a significant change in pressure is concurrent. I have been telling my fellow competitors this for years and they used to laugh. I began showing them the app readings and they are now “believers”. Interestingly my wife gets a headache about 2-3 hours before a significant change begins showing just how sensitive the human body is and how dramatically we are affected. All my fisherman friends tell me how fish are affected by the barometer, so it should not be a surprise that all creatures on land be at least that affected if not more.


Great, But...

I don’t like the new update with the white background. This app, though, helps me understand weird things that occur due to barometric changes. Thanks!


New update
Me o daddy

Do Not like the update 5/12/2020 was ok till today. Glad I only use the free app.


Love this app
Brandyls76

I have chronic migraines and this app is spot on. If I get a headache all I have to do is look at this and I know pressure has dropped. It is spot on for me.


Excellent app!

If you have need to track the barometric pressure, perhaps for arthritis our outdoor sports, this has proven to be an accurate and simple app to use. The ‘Trend’ view is great for looking at a graph for 3 day and longer. The Pro version is a super buy!


Spying
Buttnakkedwonda

Haven’t used this app in weeks. I wake up this morning and something is using my location. I go to the settings to see what it is and it’s the barometer app. Why would this app be using my location at 6am? I have the settings set up to only use my location while running the app. The app was not open in the background either. Hopefully they have an explanation for this.


Why is this not for android too?
NewBBBbbb

It’s REAL hard to find a barometer that works off your phone and shows station pressure and station altitude, this has both. I hate apple and am moving to android but can’t find it there. Someone needs to make this exact thing for the play store.


Straightforward and well done
Former Sea Scout

I have used this app for quite a while and enjoy it. Simple, quick to access, yet robust. Well worth it.

I like Barometer but after the last update the Trend screen is white and it is difficult to see on my iPhone 6s. Thank you
