Reviews: What People Think About Barometer & Altimeter Pro
TippiDee
Rating: 4/5
I have been complaining about this for a year or so. On my iPad, I must be opening the app often, or as someone else said, I just see a straight line.
It’s better on the iPhoneSE2020, but still a problem. Once in a while, I think it is fixed. I see lots of data points and a nice curve, but every time, it reverts back to the boxy lines within days. :(
I don’t need to know either station pressure or sea level pressure right now. What I need are trends! And you can’t get accurate trends without enough data points, pure and simple.
Is it better than nothing? Definitely. Could it be better? It sure seems so, because once in a while it is better! I am no programmer or app developer, but why does it become “fixed” now and then, only to revert back???
I am sticking with my 4-star rating because it still works, just not as well as I think it could/should. And I don’t know of anything better, which says something!
Don't get fooled again!

Your joints-every single one of them is it’s own separate capsule- meaning it has its own pressure. I have patients who say they can tell when it’s going to rain or get cold. No, they can tell when the pressure’s dropping- which is almost always accompanied by some type of weather change, rain, cold or otherwise-and your joints internal pressure is “feeling” the External pressure change. High pressure is typically fair weather, a dropping barometer means change is coming-soon.
Your astute assessment regarding your joints is correct-if someone tells you it’s a myth-they’re referring to your ability to discern rainy/cold weather-which is only partly true-I’m getting redundant. Most things in nature are in tune with the barometer- I notice I get hungry when the barometer drops-as does most of the animal kingdom, the fishing is typically better during a falling barometer. Alas, I’m a novice myself at setting the barometer-sorry I couldn’t be of more help there.

I bought this app not for the extra features but because I want to support developers who make good tools. The free version is better than what most paid apps claim to offer. Download and see for yourself.
Some ideas for improvements: I’d like a widget that shows graphic changes. I use a barometer mostly to identify changes in weather that aren’t otherwise apparent (and when I cannot rely on the internet). Seeing a trend indicator for the last few hours without opening the app would be great. Also, alerts if the change is large enough. It would also be nice to have altitude as an alternative scale, so I can both gauge recent hiking and compare how my legs feel against the chart to detect atmospheric/weather changes while going up and down.
Overall, great stuff. This is the sort of thing we used to pay $200 for in a watch.
About Barometer & Altimeter Pro
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.
