Update!!
App is inoperable, needs update after 17.4 messed up access to barometer sensor. Using another app in the meanwhile. Great app otherwise when it's working.
A MOMENT OF SILENCE
Have used for several years, has been reliable and accurate. “Loved it.”
Until the IOS 17.4 update, which sadly disabled fetching of data from the phone/tablet’s baro sensor. Getting station pressure was not possible*.
IOS 17.4.1 helped, but alas, Bar-o-meter still does not function on my devices. There are some apps that now are functional for station pressure and other functions requiring an app to fetch data from the baro sensor on the device, not from a weather station on the web.
*some users with unlocked phones and programming knowledge have posted workarounds, but if you have a carrier specific device like mine and can barely run your tv remote, that’s not an option.

It’s fine up to the point that you select an option
The barometer itself is fine. But...if you select the graph, or settings, there appears (on my iPad) to be no way of getting away from the selection! I’ve tried everything, but I end up having to close it down and then reopen. What a pain!
Absolute Pressure
How do I get the app to display actual pressure in inches of mercury instead of absolute pressure? Thanks.

Great site.

Doesn't correct for altitude
It always shows the reading at sea level, not at my elevation. So it says the barometer is low and bad weather is coming, when actually the corrected reading at my elevation is high, and the forecast is good weather. Makes it kind of useless. Any good barometer must be adjusted for altitude.
Inaccurate but nicely presented
Pressure readings do not correlate with live aviation reported levels. Sea level pressure is always lower than actual level which cannot be right.
