Awesome

Glad you liked our barometer app. We've built it with these exact ideas you've mentioned in mind. Thanks for the review Nickolas 🙌 Regards, Pablo & Rafaela.
Not as detailed as I was led to believe
Not worth the money
Amazing app and developers
Response from developer
Thank you for leaving such a lovely and detailed review, it really means a lot! This is exactly why we built the app, so hearing it’s helping you spot patterns and feel a bit more in control is huge for us. Also really glad we could help quickly when you reached out. We try to stay responsive and keep things human. Really appreciate the support 🙏✨
Very dependable!

Thank you for the review! Appreciate you using Barometric Pressure Offline 🙏 We’ve just rolled out a new update with Pressure Trends, Notes, and updated widgets. You can now add notes to any measurement. Oh, and we've also updated the graph.
Elegantly effective

Thank you for giving Barometric Pressure Offline such a great review! Good to hear it’s helping you track pressure drops and see patterns with migraines. And thanks for noticing that we don't collect data, we have that policy for all our apps.
Very dependable!

Hi ReginaLucille, thank you for reviewing Barometric Pressure Offline. Alerts go off when there is a sudden change of pressure (increase or decrease) of 4-6hpa over a period of 1-3 hours. We've JUST rolled out an update with requested features by our users (ability to add notes to a measurement, updated graph, pressure trend, updated widgets). If you have ideas or specific feature requests, please reach out via “Contact Us” inside the app.
Perfect app, recommend for POTS/EDS/Hypermobile tracking

Thanks for the review of the barometer app! Really happy to find that it’s pretty useful and that users actually like it 🙌
Good lil barometer

Glad you liked our barometer. Thanks so much for the review 🙌
On device and one time payment

Glad you liked the Barometer offline. Yes, we think that user data and privacy are very important so we avoid adding unnecessary trackers in all our apps. Thanks for the review 🙌
Question to the developers
Love to know more about how the lock screen widget functions. Thx
Response from developer
Hi Gregory, Thanks for the review. The barometric pressure on the widgets (both lock and home screen) gets updated automatically by iOS when the app is in the background. We don’t have control on the update period. When the app is in foreground, it gets updated as soon as it goes to the background (this is us triggering a force update). However, I will check the values of the lock screen widget and issue a fix on the next version in case there is something off. Please feel free to write me via "Settings > Contact us" inside the app so I can keep you posted with the updates. Best regards, Pablo.

Thank you for the review 🫶
Pressure to Bar(e)
Experience was disappointing for me. I was glad to discover an “offline” barometric pressure access and altitude app and for free at that, through the promotion (that’s always a nice and yet often under appreciated gesture and imo a smart way to get the word out about your work).
However, after onboarding the app blurred out data readings with a “motion data access needed” screen but with no explanation or direction to resolve it (iOS 18.5, iPhone 11).
After time spent exploring settings options (trying this and that to enable it) in vain, I gave up and deleted it in disappointment.
Further still, I noted that the app description in store wants access to your financial data, something that I haven’t seen too often in apps that I explore or use, prioritizing security and privacy over brand and developer where possible. Transparency on what data you are in fact surrendering and to whom it is given is a legitimate consideration.
This reviewer tends to be suspicious when apps go free, have rushed or incomplete menus or onboarding, but want financials. In this case, it was asserted that only Apple has access to that data- probably so… so don’t let me spoil the barrel.
Having said that, offline functionality is an enticing attraction but the breakdown for me came in the lack of clarity as to enabling the access the app needs to function. I still don’t have that info and as such I cannot rate the app’s merit or efforts sufficiently or objectively. As they are a two man developer team, I can respect the effort but if I can’t use it yet..
Response from developer
UPDATE: We’re happy to clarify and give you the info you need on the permissions and any other questions you might have. Please kindly contact us directly via Settings > How does it work > Contact Us. —— Hi, and thanks for taking the time to share your experience. To clarify: the app does not access your financial data in any way. That assumption is simply incorrect. The mention of financial permissions in the App Store is due to the presence of in-app purchases (handled entirely by Apple). We have zero access to your payment info — that’s fully managed by Apple’s system, not by us. As for the “motion and fitness” permission — this is required by Apple to access the iPhone’s barometric sensor, which is the entire foundation of the app. We don’t use or collect motion or fitness data. We don’t track users. We don’t send any data anywhere. The app is fully offline and private. We built this app specifically for the sailing community, where offline tools are essential. It’s disappointing to see a 2-star review based on assumptions that don’t reflect what the app actually does. We’re a small indie team — just the two of us — and reviews like this really hurt our chances of reaching the people who might actually benefit from what we’re trying to build. If you’re open to revisiting the app with that context in mind, we’d truly appreciate it. Either way, thanks for checking it out.
Does it’s job
Response from developer
The barometric pressure displayed is actually the sea level pressure. Thanks for the review. Glad you liked it 🙌
Pourquoi imposer l’accès aux mouvements de l’utilisateur
Response from developer
Pour calculer la pression barométrique, nous devons avoir accès à l’altitude. Sur les anciens appareils, l’altitude est fournie par le GPS, sur les plus récents par les capteurs de mouvement et de condition physique. Comme déjà indiqué dans l’app, tout se passe HORS LIGNE et sur votre appareil. Nous ne stockons aucune donnée utilisateur puisqu’il n’y a ni connexion ni serveur impliqué. Nous partageons votre souci de sécurité, c’est justement pour cela que nous l’avons conçue de cette manière. La confidentialité et la sécurité avant tout. Comme mentionné également dans l’app, nous sommes une petite équipe de 2 entrepreneurs indépendants. Il serait appréciable de lire les informations fournies et/ou de nous contacter via l’app en cas de doute, avant de laisser un avis aussi nuisible et trompeur sans comprendre le fonctionnement de l’application. Merci pour votre compréhension.
Location Svcs REQUIRED
Also it stated that it uses your location EVEN WHEN THE APP IS NOT EVEN OPEN !!!??? No thank-you!
Response from developer
UPDATE: To display the barometric pressure at sea level, the app needs to get the altitude as long as the device’s pressure. Depending on the iOS version it requires either Motion & Fitness or GPS permissions. Everything happens offline in your device without any server involved. This is explained in detail in the Settings of the app. To clarify, It doesn’t check location while you are not using the app. Also, it doesn’t drain the battery at all. We are a small independent team of 2. This kind of misleading and inaccurate reviews have a real impact. In case of doubts or support you can contact us via Settings in the app. Thanks for your comprehension.
Love this app!
Response from developer
***Update*** Barometric Pressure Offline now also supports notifications for rising pressure for our users with migraines and tinnitus. Thank you for this request. ---- *Original* Wow! we didn’t consider this at all, thank you so much for this feedback. We will push it to our list of priorities for the next update.
Pratique

Merci 🙏
