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.
