Barometer & Altimeter & Thermo

It does what it claims to do. It’s not helpful for my use case as I want to track data over time. This just gives the current reading. Unfair to ding it for not having features the developer clearly doesn’t care about. That’s fair. The ads, however, are the most annoying imaginable. Give me 10 minutes on launch to explore the app before you inundate me with obnoxious ads. I get you want people to buy your app. And I appreciate that you don’t make me pay before checking it out. But there’s no way I’m buying this if you constantly barrage me with ads. Even if I liked the app I’d look elsewhere. Please just give me 10 minutes to play around. Better yet a couple of days. Without having to sign up. If I like it, I’ll buy it. I want apps that I like to be successful

This is an excellent app. It is right to the point, with no unnecessary clutter. Just like going to a barometer on the wall. Has many setting options for me to set it to my liking. It also has an altitude page. It's the first app for me that gives the true altitude for my location. I like that I can set the barometer to my GPS location, or to a Station location. I recommend this app to anyone interested in the weather.

I tried a bunch of Barometer apps after my old one stopped working. Yes, you have to allow access to "motion and fitness" for it to work. Apple really didn't consider the Barometer use case when they made that change. This app turned out to be the best choice for me. It's easy to read without being overly cute. It also gives you elevation and some relevant weather information. It reads directly from your iPhone sensor and will adjust for altitude, so you can use it in off-line mode. I checked pressure against another utility tool that reads the same sensor and it was spot on. You can also fine tune the pressure if you find that necessary. The ads aren't really that bad. The app lets you use it in free mode several times before an ad will pop up, and I didn't see any obnoxious animated ads. For a very reasonable two dollars, instead of a ridiculous subscription, I paid the developer to get rid of the ads. It's obviously a winning app giving its position in the App Store and the five star reviews. Very happy with it.
