Update has destroyed this app!
I’ve had and used this app for years! I have chronic migraines and one of my biggest triggers is change in barometric pressure. There are other ways to predict the changes, but with this app I had an amazing graph that I could set at intervals from 24 hrs to 30 days to correlate when I first noticed a migraine coming on, when I had a particularly severe migraine, when I had a migraine that lasted more than 24 hours, etc. Being able to look back at these graphs and put them together with other variables that I know affect my migraines has helped me so much with my migraine care.
With the update, however, the graphing feature has disappeared. In fact, the app only marks the pressure if you actually go into the app and mark it. It’s useless.

Updated Not Anymore….Helps verify what I’m feeling
This app used to be so helpful in understanding and explaining every change in my daily migraine pain level. The changes made to the app a couple of weeks ago removed every single thing that I found most helpful. There’s no graph that shows the small to large changes that take place over a span of time. It was a relief whenever the app’s graph showed a change when the pain level changed because it meant not having to review every other aspect of daily living that might have caused it. I can no longer choose the number of hours to review during or after prolonged episodes. I tried to continue using it but cannot find anything it provides that’s helpful.
I started using this after trying others normally suggested for people with migraines affected by barometric pressure changes. I don’t comprehend all the technical explanations but I can now use this app to verify what the pain has told me. I don’t have the “extras” but plan to try them when it’s easier to read and comprehend through pain and nausea. I spent years trying to find and understand my triggers and thought barometric was one but needed an app showing it as numbers and on a graph to see how small the changes can be that make my migraine spin out of control. Verifying it gives me the knowledge to take actions that can help keep it from being as debilitating. Thank you!

Please help.
I’ve been using your app for years!
It helped me decide if I needed to take migraine medication or not, it was so useful.
Unfortunately in the new update there is no “line” that shows the tiny pressure changes. That was the part that helped me, I also used it to show my doctor. It was a visual aid.
Now, I don’t have that. This new version does not have that quick visual reference and I don’t think I will be able to use it. To be honest the numbers don’t really help me. Is there any way you could put that back? 🙏

Every feature I loved is gone…
Talk about devastated. I’ve never even left a review before this moment.
I’ve been using this app probably since it was released to track my pressure drop migraines. I could see when drops occurred on the graph and if the times lined up with symptoms. I could quickly glance at the color-coded dial and know if I was at risk. I could check the pressure at a glance with the widget. I used this app every single day and recommend it to every migraine sufferer as I know as a much needed tool!
I noticed today that the widget was just gone. Couldn’t add it back either. Opened the app to find it completely redesigned and every feature I used is now gone as well. The graph is gone entirely. The color-coded dial is gone. The widget is no more. It’s completely barebones. Sure, it looks pretty, but it’s lost all usefulness and I had to find a new app. Beyond bummed.

Was great, give me back my 30-day trend graph
I’ve really liked this app up until now, but the feature I liked most is just gone.
The Trends page used to give several options between 6 hours and 30 days and it was fascinating to compare the pressure over that length of time. Now the Trend is just the time and pressure, no graph.
Also the app says I’m at -86 feet elevation when I’m right at sea level or up to about 10 feet above, and wants access to my fitness app.
Might delete and find an app that has a Trends graph, I don’t like this at all any more.

App has been downgraded since Update
I used to love this app and I used it frequently to check the barometric pressure since it affects my arthritis. However, since the latest update going to analog from the digital, I have lost interest in using it and am actively looking for a suitable replacement. I can deal with the analog barometer. However, I really miss the graphic display of the history including the ability to adjust for number of days. It was probably a 4.8 star rating before the major downgrade of your recent update.

What happened to the app after the Apple update April 6, 2024?!
Several years ago, I paid to upgrade the app, so I could change the face between several different options, plus, I was able to show 2 different pressure units on the face at the same time. Those are all gone now! I do NOT like the way app looks now. It’s extremely sparse and basic looking. There’s no longer a chart showing what the barometer has done the last 6 hours to 30 days. It is totally off and when I put in my altitude, it’s really off. I don’t know what is going on, but please, bring back the old version. Also, I’d like a refund of my money, since I’m no longer getting what I paid for. This version is no way, shape, or form, a better version of the old!

The New Release is AWFUL
The new release removes precision and also deletes various appearances of the barometer, leaving the only option a bland and sketchy looking thing. I used to love this app. and the so-called “trend“ no longer shows a trend it makes you click each time you want to store a point. Before it made a very nice graph that showed over 30 days or less the ups and downs of atmospheric pressure. This “upgrade“ is a horrible change. I’ve deleted the app from my phone and my iPad and I am totally disgusted that I bothered to upgrade it because it ruined what I really used to like. Great job, not!

Great to bad :-(
Used this daily for years… until update! All the features I like are now gone. Please roll back this update or adjust it. Honestly it’s like this version was created by someone else it is so different. It has been so helpful until now, I sincerely hope that it will be changed so it can again be my beloved app and I can edit this review.
- Watch app is now gone, my favorite part
- Please add option to have dark screen only. White is rather jarring, too bright, for migraine people and others with sensory sensitivity.
- Trends screen in former version was great, loved being able to track changes with options from 12hrs to 30days and the slider bar to see specifics. Now you’re asking me to look at a list of numbers, and other info, and do math. Really?!
- Widget gone. I used widget on iPad and on phone used the old style widgets you can add only to the “today” screen. Both types are gone.

Very glad this app exists
I’m grateful that this developer has put so much work into an app whose key features are 100% free. I was looking for an app that gave me the output of my phone’s internal barometer, and that’s exactly what it does. And you can even set the little red marker to track changes! And no ads, not even in the free version! Thanks, developer.
To the people complaining about the tracking not working while the phone is locked: it’s obviously an iOS limitation.

Clear readings but adding a notification setting would be huge
This app gives accurate and easy to read information. If they’d add a setting which allowed me to get a notification when the barometric pressure was going to change (say, a 12 hour warning) it would be a total game changer for me and I think every migraine sufferer as well. Pressure changes of as little as 6 (from a base line of 1013) are enough to trigger migraines, and if we could use the knowledge of an upcoming change to premedicate, we could avoid having to do that AFTER the migraine has already started, which is more difficult and often requires higher doses.

Great App
Steffen: Just got your Barometer App for my iPhone and after messing around it seems to work great. I actually calibrated my home wall mounted Barometer using my iPhone’s readings from your App It has been off around 30 hPa’s for years!! Thank You
Nice but could be better
Like many others my main concern is the change in pressure. It’s inconvenient that the phone must be unlocked and the app running ‘on top’, not in the background to get a contiguous plot. This means that to get the best information I can’t be using anything else on the phone. If it could log in the background I’d love it. If the slope of the graph could be logged it’d really be great. There are a couple of other things that I think would help, but those are the big ones. Thanks to the developer for a good program, but it does have room for improvement if IOS limitations allow.

Altimeter doesn’t work right
I wanted to ask a question but this is the only option I was given. Every time I look at the altimeter it’s different. My house varies between 160 feet to 866 feet. So something isn’t working right. I wanted to know if it’s some setting in my phone maybe causing the problem, or I didn’t adjust a setting in the app correctly. It definitely knows when I raise or lower the phone, so it’s measuring. But it’s always different. The barometer seems accurate.

Trends
I like the app overall but would like to have option to turn on and off where the app stays on even after it is turned off so that I can collect enough data to have meaningful trend lines to view.
Thanks
Thanks
Migraine Tracking
I use the app primarily to see the correlation between barometric pressure and migraines. Anything below 1010 may trigger a migraine. Would not have discovered this correlation without the app. And dark mode is a real plus for migraine sufferers as well.
Suggestion: A dark face option. When a migraine strikes, the less light the better.

I love this app!
I’m a total weather geek and it is SO nice to have an app that lets me use the barometer built into my iPhone to show me pressure trends. I own some expensive, German barometers and this app is just as precise, if not more so, than them. Thank you for a useful and awesome app! I’d love to buy you a beer one day!

Nice Barometer but does not track without app open
One of the best ways to use a barometer is to look at the trend of pressure change. This is tracked in this app but only when you open the app can you set a data point that is graphed.
Ideally this app should create a data point periodically and consistently all the time.
I suppose there is some kind of IOS limitation preventing this from happening.
Not as useful without that but otherwise nice interface.

No Trend Available Anymore
I have enjoyed this app for a couple of years to get a feel for what weather comes my way and it’s been helpful. That said, the tracking portion does not work now, it just shows long lines with no variations. I’d like to keep the app for its ease of use, but right now it just is taking up space. I have an iPhone 12 and all is updated. I’ll update again.
Is this going to work again? Developer?

Really happy with this app
I’ve tried a few different barometer apps and this one keeps a graph that will collect data its self and a widget. Thanks!
