## Review summary

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.

### 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.
