User Reviews

Reviews praise Barometer and Altimeter for its clean, easy interface and generally accurate readings, with users valuing altitude/elevation data and practical weather awareness. However, many report serious drawbacks: frequent compatibility problems across iPad/Pro models and iOS versions, and reliance on Health data to function; lack of Apple Watch support and widgets; no option to log or visualize pressure changes; and occasional accuracy inconsistencies after updates. Overall, it’s useful and well-designed when it runs, but availability and feature gaps undermine reliability for some users.

Pros

Clean, simple, and easy-to-use interface.
Accurate barometric readings with calibration options.
Elevation/altitude readings add practical weather utility.
Useful for weather monitoring (e.g., hurricane season) and general curiosity.
Developer responsiveness and updates, including adding altitude display.

Cons

Frequent compatibility problems across devices and iOS versions, with misleading device requirements.
Requires access to Health data to function, limiting use for some users.
Lack of Apple Watch support and widgets.
No built-in logging or graphing to track pressure changes over time.
Occasional accuracy or reliability issues, especially after updates.

iOS 17.4.1 app don’t work anymore will not show barometric pressure

I loved this app because I can adjust the sensor to atmosphere. I work for a calibration lab company & I adjust this app to the readings from a more accurate pressure standard.
