Wouldn't update, always said "sorry cannot update at this time, please try later". Showed same pressure for a week. Useless. ### 1/5 — Pretty but useless *2010-12-11, version 2.1* Never really worked well to begin with,the tap the screen for trend always showed the pressure to be rising no matter the actual trend was, and after iOS 4.1.2 update it pooped the bed. NOT WORTH IT!!! ### 2/5 — It still needs work *2010-11-19* It works but needs more development. Sometimes its setting are 12 hours behind the true barometric pressure of my area, and I have my settings at "every 20 minutes updated." I think it could be a nice app, but for now it seems to need some work. Without the updating problems it would be a nice app, and I would rate it higher. Hopefully, there will be an updated version soon. ### 3/5 — Not perfect but not bad either *2010-09-30* I submitted some suggestions to make the $2.99 more palatable. The weather conditions are transmitted correctly but the actual barometer doesn't always read the same data. I like the design and concept and would love to see the developer pay attention to the comments I sent. Will change rating when updates are made. ### 2/5 — Thats Right *2010-07-10, version 0* Didnt like that it couldnt detect your location and have to enter it at each location to get the current conditions, the weather maps are also dissapointing. They need to autodetect location to make this product attractive and also improve the maps to zoom in to current location. ### 1/5 — Barometer *2010-07-04, version 0* I could not reliably net the appropriate city - I consistently got the message that there was a data download error. Not worth the trouble. ### 2/5 — Just quite working *2010-04-09* The app worked fairly well for about a month, "fairly well" because it was always slow to load. Then it just quite working. I noticed someone else had the same experience. This is a pity because I liked the app when it was working. It had some quirky presentation features that were fun, and I always accessed the pressure readings map. I tried to find support from the website, but it just sent me back to the store. I'll keep the app and hope for an upgrade fix in the future, assuming that someone at the home company reads these critiques. ### 2/5 — Quit working?? *2010-04-08, version 0* Worked fine for a while. Worked as advertized but suddenly, it just quit. Reloaded it several times and it seems to lock up on finding "my location". Even if I put my zip code in...it still refuses to show the info. It was great...while it worked. : < ### 1/5 — Barometer *2010-03-12* This could have been be so if it worked. Can't ever figure out where I am when other apps can. Doesn't respond to tap like it should. Is not worth your 2 bucks! ### 1/5 — Filled with bugs *2010-01-21* Fun concept but sloppy and error-filled in execution. Usually gives an error message whenever I run the app. Always displays a red bubble with the number "1,021" on the app icon. No idea what thus number refers to--email messages? text messages? number of bugs on this app??? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Come on guys! *2024-09-09, version 4.4* Waist of money! You can’t set your location! Five cities to choose from. This is it. No info about it before you get it. It’s obviously just stilling money. -5 stars. ### 1/5 — Scam *2024-01-29* This app does not do what it shows in the pictures. I want my $2 back! ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2019-01-07, version 4.1* Not a good app. I wAnt my money back. If i could give it a minus star I would ### 1/5 — Nice to look at but that's as far as it goes. *2018-11-26, version 4.1* This Barometer has no (at a glance tell tale hand ) this leaves it useless for quick advanced weather forecasting. To read a barometer and get correct advanced forecasts one must have quick access to the speed of the rise and fall of the instrument. In the case of this pretty looking app the reason to omit the tell tale hand makes it useless for my job. ### 1/5 — Deserted by the developer! *2016-12-23* It's been three years since any update. App crashes almost every time I try to change something. My advice. Turned around and find a supported app. Apple should either tell this developer to either update the app or Apple should pull the app. ### 1/5 — Buyer beware- Don't buy this until it works !!!! *2015-06-15* Here it is June 15th, 2015 and the app still isn't working ..... Would somebody wake up and take this app down or suspend it until they get their act together ??? ### 1/5 — Useless *2015-04-25* Server down. Error messages - could not get any current information whatsoever. Useless. ### 1/5 — Inaccurate *2015-02-27, version 3.7* The temperatures in this app are inaccurate. I emailed the developer and he said he then adjusted the source but it is several degrees off. Otherwise nice app but I can't rely on it for the right temperature. ### 1/5 — Old Barometer *2011-12-28, version 2.9* Barometer can only display 982 or 1016 mb which makes it practically useless. ### 1/5 — TOTALLY USELESS *2011-07-22* This is a waste of money and has the potential to put you in danger. A severe thunderstorm came in. This app shows no change in pressure. Do not use this for anything other than a novelty. It is inaccurate and fraudulent. DO NOT BUY THIS APP. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very happy *2011-08-19* I had no problems with the app, works great, provides nice and easy to understand information. ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2011-03-04* I love this app so far! Nice antique look and refreshes quickly and smoothly. When I compare to my home barometer it is very close, within 1 torr. The other features are a nice addition too. ### 5/5 — Just the job *2010-12-22, version 2.3* Seems like a good app. Have only just installed it but it found the nearest town to the village where I live with no trouble. Beautiful looking barometer. App includes a lot of weather information. Think it will be very useful. Recommended. ### 5/5 — Absolutely the best barometer *2010-06-14* Extremely accurate barometer which also shows recent trends in pressure - perfect for fishing/hunting info. Many other features easily accessable. Never crashes - always works. If you need an accurate barometer with extra features, get this one. It's the best! ### 5/5 — Great app *2010-04-03, version 0* This is a great little app well worth buying if you need to know the hpa or humidity. Will come in handy for setting my carbs on race day. ### 5/5 — BertFilm HI *2010-01-05* I am editing my origional review and giving pocketkai a 5 rating because of his great response & updates to my problems with his Barometer AppGood positive, useful, directions make an app work well and make you feel you got your WorthI recommend you search the App Store with the term "pocketkai" to view ALL his interesting apps The GUI does look very nice & the Maps look good too.

Lots of valuable info. Use it all day because I work outside, so the barometer and hygrometer functions are great. Lots of good weather info. ### 4/5 — Review Update, Nice app for weather buffs *2010-01-01* See review below. Now gives 4 stars. Update fixes the inches of Hg problem and the new font is appreciated, easier to read. New 4 day outlook niice too. Wil give 4 stars when developer changes the PSI setting to "inches of Hg". Nobody uses PSI for barometric pressure readings. The barometer should also pointr to the correct pressure. ### 3/5 — Doesn't work *2015-04-17, version 3.7* Barometer antique is a unique app but doesn't work. It always says "Error Loading--Error Code 76." When I type in my city, it won't registrar it. ### 3/5 — Nice app - one question *2011-06-05* App seems to be accurate. Works nicely. Can anybody tell why the icon shows a number in the upper right corner like it has a notification? Can't figure why that's there and how to get rid of it.
