### 4/5 — Joint Pain

*2026-07-07*

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

**Developer response:** I’m sorry to hear that you have joint pain, but glad that my app has been useful to you. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to suggest any new features that can be helpful in your situation.

### 4/5 — Works as described

*2026-06-06*

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 .

**Developer response:** 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 basic features are free, what you get for upgrading etc. I hope you enjoy the app!

----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!

### 4/5 — Höhe stimmt nicht

*2026-04-22*

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.

**Developer response:** 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

### 3/5 — Continuous monitor mode

*2026-03-03*

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

**Developer response:** 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! 
🇨🇦❤️

### 5/5 — The OG iPhone barometer app

*2026-01-31*

I’ve been using this app since 2014 when Apple first introduced the barometer chip on iPhones and wow it’s sure come a long way. I’m impressed that the developer has been maintaining this app for such a long time and keeps it modern and up to date as iOS evolves. I’m happy to see the current update uses Liquid Glass. It’s both the OG barometer and the barometer of the future!

**Developer response:** Thanks for leaving us a review. Yep, Barograph has been around LONG time and we plan to keep maintaining it for years to come!

### 5/5 — The Gnar

*2026-01-23*

Have you ever heard the LEGEND of the Gnar?

**Developer response:** I have indeed heard of the legend of Shreddy Gnar Gnar. Keep it gnarly, dude! 
(in all seriousness glad you're enjoying the app and let me know if you have any feedback)

### 5/5 — Fonctionne bien

*2026-01-21*

RAS

**Developer response:** Merci pour votre revue.

### 5/5 — Solid barometer app

*2025-10-13*

It’s relatively straightforward - it just plots the pressure measure by your phone, but it works quite well. Helps me monitor the pressure.

**Developer response:** 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!

### 5/5 — Migraine

*2025-08-27*

If you get Migraines while traveling, this app is a MUST!!!
Or: you just want to know how much the air pressure changes during traveling. On my last trip 222 mbar (6.6 inHg) from Donner Pass til Sacramento!
Thank you, Jack!

**Developer response:** Glad to know the app is useful to you! I didn't have migraines in mind when I created it but it's nice to know a lot of people have found this to be a useful application of the app!

### 5/5 — The best way to track the pressure.

*2025-05-26*

I really like that this apps shows you barometric pressure data in realtime. It’s so sensitive I can see the pressure change when I walk up the stairs. I use it just for fun/interest and find it very interesting to see how the air pressure affects the weather.

**Developer response:** Thanks you for the review! I'm glad to hear you find the app is useful! Let me know if you have any feature suggestions!

### 5/5 — Simple and it Works

*2025-05-25*

Love the App. It is simple and it works. It's great for viewing the atmospheric pressure in a graphical form and it works perfectly with the big screen on my iPhone 6 plus. Highly recommended.

**Developer response:** Glad to know you find the app useful. Thanks for your review!

### 5/5 — The OG Barometer app

*2025-05-23*

This is the OG barometer app and I’ve been using it since way back in 2015 or something like that. It’s nice to see it get a facelift and new features after all these years. It works great for me in terms of measuring the atmospheric pressure and alerting me when the pressure hits a specific value. The ability to export data as CSV is really useful.

### 5/5 — Best barometer app

*2025-02-24*

If you’re interested in using your iPhone to measure the atmospheric pressure as if you owned a weather station, this is the app for you. It has a lot of nice features such as alarms and data export. The developer is also very responsive.

### 5/5 — Vital tool!

*2024-08-21*

First, I’m not the traditional user of this app. I’ve been using it to track the the pressure and changes throughout the day and week and how it effects my migraines. This has been a simple and vital tool in helping to prepare as well as give “reason” to why symptoms of migraine randomly start to crop up. “Oh look! The pressure has changed dramatically! No wonder I feel awful!”
Along with this I’ve been able to see the elevation difference between home, work, in-laws (never pressure there 🤪), and vacation locations. 
My only wish would be a way to zoom in on the table to see the data. My chart is rather large since I don’t refresh or close the app.

**Developer response:** Glad to know you find the app useful! The way I was using it I would just reset it from time totem but I see that does not work for everybody. I  was thinking about maybe adding a "1 day" zoom view of the chart as an option of people looking interesting in looking more recent data/trends. would that be useful?

### 5/5 — Best barometer

*2024-06-26*

This is the best barometer app on iOS and the developer is very helpful and responsive.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Display too sparse

*2026-04-12*

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

**Developer response:** 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.

### 1/5 — Broken. Blank page.

*2026-02-23*

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! :(

**Developer response:** 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.

### 1/5 — Pay for sea level functions

*2025-02-13*

I live at sea level. It is required to pay for sea level functions. Not even a testing opportunity, so this gets no stars unless I have to put one down to get this review to post, since I can’t use it at all except when I fly. It will be deleted in favour of an app that’s functional and useful.

**Developer response:** If you live at sea-level then you wouldn’t gain anything from paying for the sea-level feature. What the sea-level feature does is take the measured pressure and adjusting it to what it would be if you were at sea-level using elevation and temperature, which would be a zero adjustment for you. Since you already live at sea level you can simply use the measured pressure for free - no need to upgrade unless you wish to support the app. I do ask for a small fee for the sea level feature because the API I source weather data from is not free.

By the way nice to see that somebody tried it in Canada, the App has Canadian roots! 🇨🇦

Feel free to email me via the help section if you have any questions.

### 1/5 — Useless - No way to calibrate

*2025-01-22*

No way to calibrate. Just needs an integrated offset

**Developer response:** If you would contact me I’d be happy to discuss how to add this feature with you. I don’t have an option for a fixed offset but could add one if it was useful. I do have a sea-level equivalent pressure adjustment feature for an extra fee.

### 1/5 — V2.8 Whiteout Screen

*2024-06-18*

Since the update to v2.8 nothing opens only a white screen appears even after deleting the app and reinstalling it. (iPadOS)

**Developer response:** You’re the first user who’s had this issue. Make sure you allow motion & fitness permissions. 

I’d be happy if you could contact me so we can troubleshoot.  There's a link to contact me in the app!

### 1/5 — Lixo

*2024-06-13*

Não serve para nada.
Vou apagá-lo.

**Developer response:** If it’s not working make sure the app has Motion & Fitness  permissions enabled in “Privacy & Security” section of the Setting app or contact me. 

Se não estiver funcionando, certifique-se de que o aplicativo tenha permissões de movimento e condicionamento físico ativadas na seção “Privacidade e segurança” do aplicativo Configurações ou entre em contato comigo.

### 1/5 — Security Concerns

*2020-11-05*

This app seemed great until I noticed a message saying whatever was on my clipboard was automatically pasted into the app each time I opened it. Considering this could potentially be a password, this poses a security risk.

This is really unfortunate, as it was exactly what I was looking for in a barometer app aside from this issue!

**Developer response:** As the developer who created that app I find it crazy that this happened given that I don’t even know what APIs to use to check the clipboard. The code literally is not even aware of the clipboard. It has seriously never happened to me and when I saw your review I opened the app myself to check this out and didn’t get any clipboard message. Can you email me and send a screenshot showing how to repeat the clipboard issue so I can fix it? Thank you. 

EDIT: I just saw it happen to me! I did some googling and I think I know what is happening. I think it’s a bug in the old version of google analytics services I am using. I have no idea why google would be reading the clipboard though. I will release an update shortly without the google services as this is completely unacceptable.

### 1/5 — Does Not Work - Ridiculous

*2018-11-27*

As above - doesn’t really do anything - a total waste of time. Certainly does not do anything claimed for it by the developer. There are many decent apps that utilise the barometer sensor in the iPad - this isn’t one of them.

Apple should be ashamed of themselves having such a poor and amateurish app in their Store.

### 1/5 — Muita propaganda

*2017-11-24*

Qualquer coisa que você aperta, vem propaganda em vídeo.

**Developer response:** Desculpe, a versão mais recente remove os anúncios. Espero que você experimente.

### 1/5 — Maximum Ad

*2017-06-11*

Fucking Fullscreen Ad (Video) with Audio 👎
No thanks 👎

**Developer response:** We originally tried to make the app ad supported so it could be completely free. Originally it used Apple iAd which was quite nice and unobtrusive. Later versions used Google ads which got quite bad and we apologize for that. We always allowed users to remove the ads for a very low fee, but in latest released we've gotten rid of ads altogether and only have a few messages reminding you to upgrade. I hope you'll give the new ad-free version a try!

### 5/5 — Perfection

*2026-08-16*

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

**Developer response:** 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!

### 5/5 — The OG barometer

*2026-05-20*

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.

**Developer response:** 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.

### 5/5 — Loading again

*2026-05-11*

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.

**Developer response:** I appreciate your updated review!! Sorry you had an issue and I am not 100% sure what happened but glad it's back to normal. Feel free to reach out if you have any more issues. It's helpful for me because I can fix bugs I didn't know about, and I always love to help get back up and running.
🇨🇦

### 5/5 — My first barometer

*2026-04-15*

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)

**Developer response:** 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!

### 5/5 — Ce dont j’avais besoin

*2026-04-07*

Je cherchais une app comme celle-ci et voilà, elle fait très bien son boulot

**Developer response:** 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 !

### 5/5 — The OG barometer

*2026-02-27*

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!

**Developer response:** 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!

### 5/5 — Excellent Barometer app

*2026-02-03*

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.

**Developer response:** 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!
