Best barometer app

I would gladly pay for additional features and no ads. Great app. As a pilot it is nice to have inches of mercury, and do some basic weather forecasting.

Great app, great developer!

Tried several of the free barometer apps and I really liked the design of Bar-o-Meter. I noticed a small issue and contacted the developer who was very responsive and later let me know that the issue was fixed with this latest update. Im very impressed by the quality of this free app and happily paid to remove the ads.

Good.

I like it. Simple and elegant. I like that it show the GPS calculated altitude and the barometric altitude side by side.

Could be better

Seems to only record data points when app is open. Wouldnt want constant data refresh but maybe once every hour or two so trends can be seen in the graphs if I havent used the app in a day. Otherwise I have to check in with the app several times a day for graphs to be useful.

Absolute work of art

Beautiful in design and function.

Adware

Very distracting ads at the bottom of the app. Deleted it.

Great UI, easy to use

I wish you could turn off gps though.

History feature doesnt work

This app has a chart where its supposed to chart the history of the barometric pressure. The information is erased quickly after I leave the app, so that I am not able to look back on changes to the pressure and its trend. I also wish this app had a feature that could alert you when the pressure is rising or falling. Since the iphone 6 plus has a barometer, it seems like this would be possible. It would also be nice if there were separate charts for the gps pressure and actual pressure (from the phone).

Needs a little interpretation added i.e. implications for headaches, etc.

Kudos to the developer for fixing the Absolute Pressure on non-barometer sensor devices like iPhone 5S/iPad 3! Now the app needs some practical commentary added — a little interpretation added for the pressure, kind of like an idiots mode to show people what that means for everyday life. i.e. implications for headaches as a storm system moves in, etc.

Nice little barometer

Does the job nicely. I particularly like the history graph.

Best alternative - give it a test

I tried four different altimeter apps plus my LAD watch. This one is the most accurate and reliable under the no-stress, low risk conditions for which I tested. And the interface aesthetics are pleasing as well. I like it so much I just bought the no-ad option for a buck. I use a 6+.

interesting but...

it would be nice to be able to enter the reference in inches of mercury. Currently, the entry field accepts only millibars even when the preference setting is set to inches of mercury.

Fantastic app, tons of features.

I like how the app shows the full data from the iPhones barometric pressure sensor. Atmospheric pressure can be displayed live in any format from the entire range of standards. hPa, Torr, atm, psi, mm Mercury, and more!!! Very nice, best barometer app there is!

Bar-O-Meter

Great app. You can make a lot of different choices. Best barometer app I have run across.
