Sehr gute App!

Tolle App! Könnte man vielleicht noch die Aktualisierungsrate variabel machen? Was wäre die schnellstmögliche Rate?

Vielen Dank für die tolle Bewertung und Ihr Feedback! Die Aktualisierungsrate ist bereits auf das technisch mögliche Maximum eingestellt. Leider ist eine schnellere Aktualisierung aufgrund der Hardwarebeschränkungen des iPhones nicht möglich.

Reliable

This is no ordinary pressure monitor. Developed to show off your phone’s pressure sensor, it displays every 1/000th or 1/10th of a millibar pressure change. This is an app that is useful to both serious meteorologists and travellers it is most suited to stationary locations or fixed-hight stations. The display is really cool and best viewed in the phone’s landscape mode. Every one second is recorded to begin with but settles quickly to several minute frequency. All in all, a good and useful app that is well worth the TINY lifetime fee for the full version. Excellent immediate support from the development team. Very nearly five star for me as a field researcher

Thanks so much for your review! I take pride on making an app that's different from the majority of them and I'm glad you find it as useful as I do! Keep int ouch and I hope I can earn one more star from you someday as I continue to improve the app!

Crashing

The app is no longer stable, fails once a week (lately). And the recovery utility is also not functioning. The result is only 4 to 5 days of history before it get scrubbed and you start over.
Sorry!

Yikes, that is not good. It has not crashed on me in testing and I’m not getting any automated crash logs through the App Store. So I appreciate you bringing it to my attention - otherwise I wouldn’t know. I really want to fix this but I’ll need your help. Can you contact me via the support link in the app and I promise we’ll figure it out? I may not be able to do it without your assistance so please contact me. If you could also make sure your phone is configured to automatically share crash report analytics with developers that would be helpful as well. https://support.apple.com/guide/pages-iphone/change-pages-privacy-and-analytics-settings-tan48799d5b5/ios

Perfection

This is the ONLY barometric pressure app that i can use on my ipad, that shows real time graph lines with every quick change in pressure and altitude..i need the specifics that others dont have

I really appreciate you leaving a review. I work hard to make this the most useful barometer app out there and I use it myself so I'm constantly testing and reminding it. I'm glad to hear that you're finding it as useful as I do!

Joint Pain

I have arthritis. I have learned through this app that my pain is worse when the blue dots line up horizontally.

Wow thank you so much for your kind words! It's a labor of love, but hearing that people find my apps useful is really what keeps me going! Please reach out if there's anything I can do to improve your Barograph experience. Stay tuned for the next update which will include a Home Screen widget!

Works as described

I wrongly set it up so put in a very critical review but it was my fault for not reading the instructions .
You need to go into,settings and assign permissions .
The developer pointed this out and now it is effective and what I needed.
If you want to remove the Ad Banner there is a small payment but it does run without that .

EDIT: Glad I could help. Feel free to email me at any time if you need any more support! I have an update coming out soon that improves the onboarding process and gives a bit more info about how the app is free, what you get for upgrading etc. I hope you enjoy the app! Jackson ----original message--- The app is totally free actually (save for the ad banner). You do not have to pay to activate the barometer - the purchase is purely optional to disable the ad banner, and activate a couple optional features that only certain power users need. If it’s. not working for you, it is probably because you have the system permissions disabled that are required for the barometer data. If you contact me via the link in the app, I can walk you through getting it working for free!

The OG barometer

I find it amazing that they’re still working on this app after so many years. I first tried it back in 2013 or 2014. It’s great to see a modern user interface and the new style of home screen which they recently added. The best thing about this app is it measures the pressure in the background. I don’t get data every minute of the day, but I get enough data points during the day that I always have an idea of the pressure trend and I can spot storms before they hit.

Thank you so much for the review! We have indeed been around since 2014! I'm glad to hear that you're stuck with us all these years and I hope you continue to enjoy Barograph.

Loading again

The app was loading with a blank white (or black) screen. Deleted the app and reinstalled is, that seems to have corrected the failure. Enjoying it again.

Höhe stimmt nicht

Die Höhe meines Wohnortes beträgt 24 m. Die App weist nur 2,5 Meter aus. Bereits Seit zwei Tagen, es ändert sich nicht. Dadurch stimmt der Luftdruck auf Meereshöhe nicht. Ich könnte auf Meereshöhe kalibrieren, es gibt aber dazu keine Möglichkeit in der App. Es wäre toll, wenn diese Möglichkeit bestände. Vielen Dank schon mal.

Hallo, die App verwendet topografische Höhendaten von Apple Maps. Aus Datenschutzgründen frage ich nicht nach dem genauesten Standort, sondern nur nach einer ungefähren Position, damit die Höhe für die Berechnung bestimmt werden kann. Wohnen Sie in einer Wohnung oder in einem höheren Gebäude? Oder sind die topografischen Daten an Ihrem Standort möglicherweise falsch? Die Kartendaten erfassen normalerweise nur die Geländehöhe, nicht die Höhe innerhalb eines Gebäudes. Ein Höhenfehler von etwa 20 m hat nur einen sehr kleinen Einfluss auf die Berechnung des Luftdrucks auf Meereshöhe, ungefähr 0,25 %. Trotzdem möchte ich natürlich, dass meine Kundinnen und Kunden mit der App zufrieden sind. Bitte schreiben Sie mir gerne per E-Mail, dann können wir gemeinsam die beste Lösung besprechen. Würden Sie die Höhe einfach manuell überschreiben und einen festen Wert eingeben wollen? Das könnte ich einbauen. Allerdings wäre die Messung dann wieder falsch, sobald Sie sich von zu Hause wegbewegen. Alternativ könnte ich einen festen Korrekturwert zur Kartenhöhe hinzufügen, aber auch das könnte in anderen Situationen neue Fehler verursachen. Sagen Sie mir gerne, was Sie für die beste Lösung halten, und ich werde versuchen, es für Sie passend umzusetzen. Vielen Dank für Ihre Unterstützung Jackson P.S. Ich bin kein deutscher Muttersprachler und verwende KI für die Übersetzung. Bitte entschuldigen Sie daher mögliche Formulierungs- oder Übersetzungsfehler.

My first barometer

I’ve always been fascinated by barometers. My family had one in the hallway and now I have one

It’s straight forward and presents the data in a clear graph so I get to see the history with useful additions like notifications , sharing , date spans etc.and I’m looking forward to tracking our pressure alongside my other instruments (yes I am a weather freak with my netatmo instruments)

Thanks for the review! That's really cool to hear because the inspiration behind Barograph was my grandpa's barometer which I inherited and its still on my wall. When I lived in Texas and had to deal with hurricanes I always loved watching the pressure change. I actually bought a digital standalone barograph on eBay and used that for a few years, then a Netatmo as well. When Apple started shipping iPhones with a barometer on board I wanted to use the at a on my phone instead, and so I created Barograph! I hope you continue to enjoy it!

Display too sparse

Need to clear history and only show last few days with chunky points also accept regional settings ddMM NOT MMdd

Hey there. Thanks for writing a review. I'm sorry I missed the regional date format - update is already incoming to fix that! As far as history, there's button on the toolbar to toggle between "all data" mode and last 48-hours which is what I think you want. Some people like the longer format for research etc. so I try to give options. The data points probably won't get chunkier but you can export to CSV and plot them with your preferred method if you like. I hope you enjoy Barograph after the date-fix update more than the star-rating shows! Feel free to reach out with any more ideas or suggestions. I'm just one guy and the app can maybe feel a little rough around the edges sometimes, and I'm sorry for that. I typically respond pretty quickly and hope that sets my app from the crowd a bit. I hope you find the app useful at some level despite its flaws. EDIT: I've added a lot of features in the last few months and took your suggestions to heart. I hope you try it again.

Merci pour votre avis, je suis heureux d’apprendre que vous trouvez Barograph utile ! J’espère que vous continuerez à l’apprécier, et n’hésitez pas à me contacter si vous avez des idées de fonctionnalités !

Continuous monitor mode

It would be great to have a background monitor to save battery there would be an adjustable sample rate in minutes . Great to understand even arthritis

Response from developer

Unfortunately Apple does not allow continuous background tasks. We comply with Apple's requirements by using "Background App Refresh" a feature which periodically requests new data, but the request rate is controlled by the operating system based on available battery life and how much iOS thinks you want to see the data. There's no way around it, but at least we are able to grab multiple data points per day (more than enough for pressure trends), and the more you use the app the more frequently the system will request data. Email me if there's anything I can help you with. Also fun fact, Barograph has Canadian roots! 🇨🇦❤️

The OG barometer

This app has been around for over 10 years. It was the first barometer app I ever used and it’s still the best. I like how accurate it is and how it plots the data in a chart. The alarms are useful as well. Highly recommended!

I'm glad to hear that our app has been useful to you. Please let us know if you have any requests or issues to report in the future!

Broken. Blank page.

They broke it right after I paid for the Pro version. The app opens up to a white screen and never loads. Please fix it! :(

Can you try it again. We've made a bunch of changes recently and may have figured out what was going on. I hope you're still willing to give Barograph a try. Feel free to email me any time and I'd be happy to help you in more detail.

Excellent Barometer app

There are a lot of barometer apps but this one works the best for me. If you care about plotting pressure data on a chart in full resolution then this is the app for you. Highly recommended.
