Barometer & Altimeter Pro App Reviews

4.5 stars in my book. Im going to use this hiking. Wish it had background refresh with a time setting. Figure it only needs to refresh once an hour. A pressure drop alert would be awesome to.

Great app. I look at it all the time, especially since it has an altimeter too. Im always curious about such things. The instructions are written a little high brow for me but its still great.

Clean and simple interface! Calculates altimeter setting using GPS. Would be cool to have option to grab nearest airport altimeter setting to calculate altitude.

Easy to use, the trend feature is awesome, tried several other apps but this one was the keeper

Easy to use and accurate.

Lots of nice features and the Long press is a great new add-on.

***UPDATE 7/20*** Another update and still no option for background refreshing. The developer should just eliminate the trend function as it has no real benefit without background refreshing of the app. *** UPDATE 5/31*** The app has been updated again, yet still no addition of background app refresh—truly boggles the mind. ----------------------------------- This is the best barometer app in the App Store. Im still waiting for the developer to incorporate app background refreshing (they mentioned it was being worked on in previous releases) so I have to knock a star off for that as it hasnt been implemented for a while now. A barometer app without background refreshing means you arent going to get true pressure trends to look at; it will only record a pressure on the trend graph when you have the app in the foreground. Seems like a simple enough fix as I have tons of other apps that have app background refreshing enabled and my battery life is still solid. So I hope that change will be made as it would then be a 5-star app.

This is a great app. for me - info needed without being too complicated to use. Just updated and love the new feature. I have been tracking my migraines against size of barometric changes so the trending is important to me. It would get 5 stars if it could be set to periodically collect pressure without having to open the app.

It would be helpful if there were a second TREND marker, one to mark high pressure and one to mark low.

Nice & simple, but similar to others available. One feature I really want (besides ability to track in background as mentioned numerous times since tracking is useless without it) is notification. In other words, if barametric pressure changes by x amount/% , notify me. You can obtain BP in a lot of places, but to notify you of changes would make this very unique & extremely useful. Both of these features could be added to Pro version in my optinion or even a seperate in-app purchase. I would pay $20 easy for those feature. In the Pro Features, it states it has a fishing barometer, but cant find where it state what that does for you.

Nice barometric function. Trending and max/min display could be more intuitive. Others have also mentioned, those functions are not very useful without the ability to collect data in the background. Would like to see an altimeter display like the barometric display, as a large dial, or at least with large fullscreen digits, that you could see when the phone is on the dash while driving.

Update to old review Since its paid update get more features there is one i request Dual barometer hands one for one reading and second hand for the other reading It doesnt make sence having two faces and one hand because sea level and station work on two different levels This is worth its weight to pay for It works functions like my regular barometer on wall as to compare digital and analog Pay for the Pro version You wont be disappointed Iphone appropriate Iphone 6 plus Need more faces or a way to combine photo albums photos as background that would be cool This is must buy a must have Medically it helps me see the weather come so i can medicate based on preasures Very very accurate Thank you keep up good work

Very nice barometer one of the most accurate I like you can choose what one you want its my go too barometer each day no problems here you have sea level pressure an actual pressure on the phone sensor but this is a good one

Thank you for this app. I have tried to keep up with pressure changes through other means and it was quite frustrating. This app is actually all I need. I do not look at it until I feel a migraine is starting and have found I can trace it to the very minute a migraine begins. Thank you so much. I have shown my doctors this app and recommended it to others who have also found it useful. One friend has found significant pressure changes also also affect pain with fibromyalgia. I rarely spend this much time writing a review but wanted to personally tell you it has made a difference for me. Now, if only I could find the cure....;).

This does not work with the iPad Air as this model does not have the pressure sensor. You find this out after you buy it.

if in the widget it would show how much pressure was gained or lost since the last time you adjusted the hand for either station or sea level pressure, that would make this really good

Incredible how it can calculate relative elevation. Starting from my feet to head, it read my approximate height.

I use it all the time as a pilot and find the app to be very accurate and useful for altimeter settings when I don’t have access to approved weather sources.

Smart interface. Does whats needed with no crap. Nice feature to adjust number of digits. Would be nice to be able to set pressure axis span for tends. Also would like to have better explanation of when and for what it uses gps. Nevertheless. Ive tried all of the barometer altimeters and this and bar-o-meter together do the trick and are the best out there.

Great app, does as advertised. Will it be possible to link alerts to the Apple Watch?
