Nice app but stopped tracking pressures

Nice app. Worked well until today. Stopped tracking pressures. Re-downloaded the app but didn’t correct the problem. Please fix. Thank you!

I upgraded to Pro while using the app and the features were no applied. I reloaded it to “Restore Purchases” and the we’re not applied. The “Pro” version never downloaded. Don’t waste $1.99 of your money and get ripped off buying add on purchases!

I just installed the Pro and I really like it. I have to watch the pressure Dailey because I suffer with chronic migraines!! Barometric pressure will set my off. Thanks love the look of this.
Could be accurate, could be an Etch A Sketch. Who knows?

I look at this app a lot—have the widget set up too. It could easily be a 5-star app, but there is not enough help for how to set it up and use it for best accuracy. I am not an expert, but I can certainly follow instructions. There are minimal instructions. I’ve also found reason to question its accuracy. First, there seem to be differences between data/trend readings on different iPhones. I was sitting in the same room with a friend, and we both had the app open on our phones (an iPhone 8 and X)—we had been together all day and were looking at the 6-hour trend view. The graph looked significantly different on each phone, and the station altitudes were reading about 10 ft. different too. Why? How? We even put the phones side by side on a table, but the altitude was still different. That was disturbing. Our app settings were exactly the same, but there must be some setting somewhere on the phone that’s off...sure would like to know what to look for. As for trends, I’ve read that there’s some issue with the app not being able to run in the background; if that’s the case, how can it even display accurate trend readings? That failed comparison test made me lose confidence in the app. Second, the “Help/About” section on the app has no actual help—tells you what some settings/features are (that’s the “about” part, I guess), but not how you should set each one for accuracy. I assume the developers understand everything, so I wish they would share that knowledge with the users—e.g., what the different setting options do and why you should choose one over the other, what the terminology means in lay terms, and how to find the data to input if necessary. A specific example among many of where “help” would be, well, helpful: On the altimeter, there’s a setting for “outside temperature” that reads “68.” What is this? No clue. That’s not close to the actual temperature where I am (it’s currently 52 F), so it’s not that, but I don’t know what it is or whether I should manipulate that setting. There’s a + and - button that moves the number in 9 digit increments (?), but there is zero help for this setting. I’m not looking for professional-level pinpoint accuracy on my phone, but right now, I can’t tell if it’s even in the ballpark of accurate.
Helpful for health

This app is great for tracking pressure changes if you have barometric-triggered health problems. I have two rare conditions, and being able to monitor barometer is very helpful. This app works very well for doing that. I just wish that it had the capability to update the “trends” in the background for greater accuracy.
Stopped working

The app stopped tracking the barometric changes and has been showing a straight line. I rely on this app because I get chronic migraines and it helps me and my neurologist track them. Please fix this!!
Great app for my phone and watch.

This is a nice app that does exactly what you expect. It’s a clean and intuitive interface even with the ad-free free version. I went with the pro version just to say thanks for the excellent app. It provides multiple units in one display for those who need it.
