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.

What’s New

Version 5.0.0

Rewritten from the ground up with full support for iOS 17.4 in an all new design and even smaller download (the entire App comes in at under 1MB).

Need help !

So far this APP works great, has never crashed, and give me what I THINK I need. I say, "what I think", because I am a novice. I really don't understand "Station Pressure/Altitude", nor how to set it and why. I know that this is just my ignorance, but it sure would be nice to get some help/essay explanation, etc. so that not only could I set it properly, but more importantly understand what I am looking at! Call me ignorant ... thats ok ... I am! 😆. But, the way you get more, NEW users of an APP, is to help those of us that have an interest in understanding pressure and altitude ... what their interrelationship is and how to get accurate readings !

All I know right now, is that my joints start hurting when the pressure drops! It's "accurate" for me to take one more ibuprofen when that is about to (or even already) has dropped. Please help educate me to set this properly for my statistic elevation here in Rio Rancho, NM (5282')

Updated Not Anymore….Helps verify what I’m feeling

This app used to be so helpful in understanding and explaining every change in my daily migraine pain level. The changes made to the app a couple of weeks ago removed every single thing that I found most helpful. There’s no graph that shows the small to large changes that take place over a span of time. It was a relief whenever the app’s graph showed a change when the pain level changed because it meant not having to review every other aspect of daily living that might have caused it. I can no longer choose the number of hours to review during or after prolonged episodes. I tried to continue using it but cannot find anything it provides that’s helpful.

I started using this after trying others normally suggested for people with migraines affected by barometric pressure changes. I don’t comprehend all the technical explanations but I can now use this app to verify what the pain has told me. I don’t have the “extras” but plan to try them when it’s easier to read and comprehend through pain and nausea. I spent years trying to find and understand my triggers and thought barometric was one but needed an app showing it as numbers and on a graph to see how small the changes can be that make my migraine spin out of control. Verifying it gives me the knowledge to take actions that can help keep it from being as debilitating. Thank you!

Still won’t log consistent data points

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!
