### 1/5 — Не работает на iphone

*2026-05-20*

На ipad работает.

### 1/5 — Barometer

*2026-03-01*

Could not get it too work waste of time

### 5/5 — Simple barometer, privacy respecting

*2026-02-26*

Love it when I need a simple app, and some generous developer has created exactly what I need, no in app purchases and no data personal data collection. It makes me wish I was an app developer so I could do the same. Thank you!

### 1/5 — 🫤

*2026-02-15*

Оставайтесь на 1.8
Обновление на 1.9 не работает

### 4/5 — Can’t see some options due to light theme. BIGGER FONT.

*2026-01-23*

Can’t see some options due to light theme. Relative altitude could be a bit better. I am wanting an app which I could use to roughly get the height of a building by walking up its stairs, but the zero reset button should be on the same page as the relative altitude for easiness. And maybe the relative altitude font should be a bit larger. Other than that it’s a great app.

### 2/5 — Ridiculous

*2025-12-27*

Need Apple fitness tracking to show barometric data. 
Totally unacceptable.

### 4/5 — Precise data

*2025-09-23, version 1.9*

Lack analog arrow but it’s fine work at least (refresh data and accuracy). Thx Peter.

### 1/5 — Does not work unless you give it access your heath app

*2025-08-12*

Does not work without access to your health app.

### 4/5 — Can’t see some options due to light theme.
