Features & Capabilities

Pressure and altitude. Beautifully clear.

Barometer turns the built-in sensors on your iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch into a clear view of the conditions around you. Check a reading at a glance, follow pressure changes, or explore your altitude as you climb.

PRESSURE, IN PERSPECTIVE • Atmospheric and estimated sea-level pressure • Pressure history, trends and changes over time • A pressure-based weather outlook • Optional pressure-change notifications

A CLEARER VIEW OF ALTITUDE • Altitude readings and elevation charts • Calibration using a known altitude or available sensor references • Ascent, descent and elevation range • Latitude and longitude • Estimated boiling point of water at the current pressure

MADE FOR YOUR DEVICES • A dedicated Apple Watch app • Watch complications and iPhone widgets • Siri and Shortcuts support • Control Center shortcuts • Your choice of measurement units • CSV export for saved measurements

Core pressure and altitude measurements work offline using your device’s sensors. Location access enables additional information, including estimated sea-level pressure.

Requires iOS 26, iPadOS 26 or watchOS 26. Available readings depend on your device’s sensors and permissions. Pressure-based weather information is an estimate, not an official forecast.

User Reviews

Overall, users praise the app for accurate local pressure readings, accessible data, and cross-device usefulness, with real-world health benefits. However, recurring issues with the Apple Watch app—crashes, failures to launch, and missing complications—dominate complaints. Feature removals (charts) and limited units (kPa only) add to frustration, as does the lack of sea-level pressure readout and suboptimal iPad support. Despite stability concerns, many users find the data and design valuable for everyday planning and health monitoring.
Pros
  • Accurate local barometer data with sea-level reference
  • Simple, clean UI and easy to read
  • Works across iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch
  • Rich data set including altitude, boiling point, and pressure trends
  • Helpful for health-related tracking (migraines, COPD, pain)
Cons
  • Apple Watch app crashes on launch and fails to display complications
  • Removal/missing chart/graph functionality (regression)
  • Units limited to kPa; missing inHg option
  • Sea-level pressure readout not available
  • iPad interface not optimized / watch compatibility issues across updates

A barometer that is really a barometer with atmospheric and sea level.

Was using this app to track and predict migraines. Removing the chart functionality and promising it in a later version is irritating. Who knows when the next update and functionality will return? Barometric pressure data is ready available everywhere for free. This app no longer offers anything. I regret tipping the developer. Removing functionality with a promise of “will fix it someday later down the road” is what’s wrong with today’s software market.
