Description

This app uses the barometric pressure sensor built into all newer iPhones and iPads and features a Barometer for weather, an Altimeter for outdoor activities and a History feature with CSV export to track air pressure. No ads, no internet connection, no trackers! Runs on your device only! Keep an eye on the barometric pressure and be your own weather forecast! This little app uses only GPS (optional) and the barometric pressure sensor to calculate the barometric pressure used in weather forecasts. iPhones and iPads 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 lets you predict weather changes! Air pressure and its change over time is a very good indicator for weather! The History allows you to store pressure values over time and compare. With a single click you can export it all as a CSV file. 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). Most users will simply rely on GPS for altitude information but GPS does use a good bit of energy, so this app does not rely on GPS for the Altimeter and can help you gain an estimate, even with GPS disabled (by default the App does use GPS for calibration, configurable). Features - Barometer for weather. - Altimeter for height estimations. - No internet connection required since the sensor is built into iPhones and iPads. - No ads! No data collection beyond your device (history and settings). No web communication at all. - Data export in CSV Format. - Supports 6 selectable units for air pressure hPa/mBar, inHg, mmgHg/torr, atm, psi, kPa. - Support for 2 different altitude units, meters and feet. - Marker and History so you can track changes in barometric pressure - Manual altitude setting or automatic altitude updates based on GPS for the Barometer. - GPS Correction. In case your GPS seems to always be 'off' a little you can now fix this easily.

    long time user since iphone 6s days. station pressure doesn’t align the marker correctly. what happened to the other faces i purchased? No graph is also bad. Also no widget makes me sad. Only good part is it measures in atm, which most others don’t. Really want the old version back
  • “Fixed” what wasn’t broken

    Used the app for years to track migraines. Trend graph was invaluable. Stopped working about a week ago. Now there’s a completely useless app in its place.

    I have been a long time user of this app and am very disappointed with the recent changes to the app. I depended on the history graph for tracking my Migraines and now it’s gone. Will be finding a new app now.
  • No longer useful for me

    I’ve used this app for years. Now, with the latest update it has become useless for me. The widget and the graph were the most useful tools. I used them to help track barometric pressure changes in relation to migraines. That functionality is now gone. This app is now just like every other barometer app out there.
  • Without trend data this app has no value

    Asking me to manually enter data renders this app useless. Uninstalling.
  • No graph? Update ruined app

    The graph that charted the pressure changes was integral to my tracking how my body reacts to barometric pressure changes. The update made this app useless to me.
  • Let down… (see what I did there?)

    As another reviewer, and fellow migraine sufferer stated; GREATLY DISAPPOINTED by the unexpected and oversimplification by the APP update! Absolutely depended upon the barometric pressure chart and ease of use to plan and track for my chronic migraines. I’ve never left a review before either. This was such a helpful APP for me and many others, for years. I was using the upgraded version too.

    I really liked the presentation of the previous version. I’ll give this try as it’s been a very good app.
  • Was great. Now it’s worthless!

    Vestibular migraine user and Meniére’s Disease sufferer. I downloaded this app years ago and utilized it frequently to determine if my vertiginous migraines and dizziness/vertigo from my Meniére’s Disease corresponds with the barometric pressure and weather changes. I also often checked here in advance to see if the barometer was dropping to determine if a migraine or dizziness might soon be on the horizon. I clicked on the app this morning after checking the weather and noticed the HORRIFIC downgrades. I clicked back on it again this evening to read through all the current reviews. I 100% AGREE with ALL of the negative reviews that have been posted in the last two weeks since this app was changed. Nothing you’ve done here (that I can see) is now helpful or positive. It is incredibly basic and not at all beneficial for someone like me. Many of us counted on this app for several years for our physical health. I personally used the graph to track my symptoms along with the barometer and that’s completely gone. Obviously, others did as well. For all of us speaking up there are a multitude of others who won’t. It’s sad to see something that was valuable and dependable for years to many of us who are sick - become completely useless to us overnight. Time to delete it and start from scratch looking for something else. If I find a suitable alternative I’ll try to leave it here and hope it doesn’t get deleted to help anyone with health issues that might be looking.

    This is the ugliest app I’ve ever seen. Took away all the best features. 0 stars, don’t recommend.
