Best barometer app I’ve found... but I wish for additional features – Barometer & Altimeter Pro Review

I’m a sailor. Like many others, I use a barometer as an aid to weather forecasting. Both long term and short term variations in barometric pressure provide advance warning of changes in weather conditions, in particular arrival of winds due to approaching fronts or storms, or local thunderstorms. As a frequent solo sailor, I need all the advance warning I can get... This app has all the functionality you could want from a barometer app -display of current pressure in a pleasing and informative way, ability to set a marker at current pressure to quickly track changes over time, and a trend record. I haven’t found anything better. For macro scale weather changes, it is perfect. What I would like to see is (1) a shorter trend timescale, when watching for squalls from localized weather events e.g. thunderstorm activity; and (2) more detailed (frequent) recording of pressure when not using the app, for display later in the trend. Rate of change is a critical parameter when monitoring barometric pressure, and this cannot be determined unless a detailed history is available. Ideally, notification of high rates of change of pressure (even, or perhaps especially, when not using the app) would be fantastic. I would happily pay for this enhanced functionality... other stand alone devices with these features are available, and useful, but expensive. I appreciate, and recommend, the app as it stands... but I’d love that little bit extra functionality.
